Ski Mountaineering World Cup 2017, Laetitia Roux, Anton Palzer, Marti Werner and Emelie Forsberg win in Andorra

The ski mountaineering world cup season 2017 kicked off last weekend on the slopes of Font Blanca in Andorra. On Saturday morning the Catalonian mountains, blanketed in sunshine, witnessed the athletes whizz past in the Individual race, dominated by Damiano Lenzi. After four difficult and technical ascents and just as many descents, the Italian crossed the finishing line after 1:33:42 but later received a 1 minute time penalty for having broken his crampon. Lenzi consequently slipped into second place, while Germany’s Anton Palzer won his first senior completion.

Talking after the race, the 23-year-old German stated “Damiano Lenzi today was the most solid of the group but of course there are rules that we must follow. I regard him as the “moral” winner, but I am also very happy with my race.” Third place was one by France’s Xavier Gachet. In the women’s Individual race French ace Laetitia Roux took the lead right from the outset and crossed the finishing line after 1:35:23, two minutes faster than her teammate Axelle Mollaret, and Sweden’s Emelie Forsberg.

The Vertical Race developed across 730m of tricky D+ terrain and was won on Sunday by Switzerland’s Marti Werner. His teammate Remi Bonnet placed third, and the two were separated by Spain’s Kilian Jornet Burgada who had placed sixth the day before. Laetitia Roux did not take part in the women’s race and this was won, after an amazing photo finish, by Emelie Forsbergo ahead of Axelle Mollaret and Laura Orgue.

The second stage of the Ski Mountaineering World Cup 2017 will take place next weekend at Cambre D’Aze in France.
