80 riders from 17 countries entered Friday?s qualification while 50 went on for another run on Saturday.
Top riders still delivered excellent runs to drive the vocal crowd crazy.
I started less than perfect, the snow conditions were not as good as yesterday.
Even a hard part with a drop very big for myself.?
Manuela Mandl shares two things with Anna.
They both won on Monte Rosa and both messed the first part of their final runs on Kanin.
But the rest was great.
I enjoyed gaining speed from the hard packed chutes.
So much better for me than last year when I was so disappointed about the cancellation.
But I memorized the face last year so I knew what to expect here and it helped.?
Believe it or not, it was the first freeride competition for 21 year old Dominik Hartl.
He just switched from freestyle a couple of months ago due to an injury.
And he loves it.
?I chose a line and I did it, including the big double at the bottom!
For sure I didn?t expect so much from entering the event.
Ma?ek is no stranger to Freeride Battle.
?Having two competition days was great.
But it was better today, fluid with three jumps, lots of control and no problems.
I guess that prevailed.
I didn?t see much of other runs from the top.?
