3. FIS SKI WORLD CUP 2015 TELEMARK – 2. raceday, 27.11.2015

Charlie Fradet (FRA) and Amelie Raymond (SUI) took first place on the parallel-sprint of the FIS Telemark World Cup taking place on Hintertux glacier today despite challenging wheather conditions.

On the second day of the FIS Telemark World Cup in Hintertux, 21 year old french Charlie Fradet had a surprise victory over yesterday’s winner Philippe Lau (FRA), Tobias Müller (GER) and Nicolas Michel (SUI). He won the men’s parallel-sprint race, 47,34 seconds ahead of 28-year old Bastien Dayer from Switzerland who unfortunately fell, losing too much time to catch up. Stefan Matter (28), also from Switzerland, earned 3rd place. In the women’s race Amelie Reymond (28) again from Team Swiss was able to reach first place with 0,23 seconds ahead of 20-year old german Johanna Holzmann. Simone Oehrli (26) from Switzerland won against her 21-year old, french competitor Argeline Tan Bouquet.

„Today’s race was pure excitement“ said austrian Telemarking-legend Arno Klien. „Especially at the men’s race as the actual favourites bowed out early.“ Charlie Fradet therefore was overjoyed: „It’s my first win! That is just crazy. It was a crazy day with a lot of emotions. Huge thanks to my whole team!“ Bastien Dayer, Stefan Matter and Simone Oehrli were visibly elated by their first time on the podium.

Despite worse weather conditions than yesterday it was a great day without any accidents. Tomorrow’s second round starts at 9.30 am and will hopefully be under better weather conditions and as exciting as today.
