The Swiss freestylers had to settle for places of honor on Saturday in Kreischberg (Aut) during the 4th stage of the Big Air World Cup. For the ladies, Sarah Höfflin was unable to secure the podium.
After her 7th place obtained a week ago in Klagenfurt (Aut), the 33-year-old from Geneva, who missed her landing during the 3rd run, took 5th place in a competition won by the Italian Flora Tabanelli. This winter, the Geneva native’s best result remains a 2nd place, obtained in December in Beijing, her first podium in three years in the Big Air discipline.
