On todays second day of the FIS Telemark World Cup opening in Hintertux, the 22-year old swiss-born Michel managed to dominate the men’s sprinting race. Michel won with a total time of 1:29,44 minutes ahead of Trym Nygaard Loeken (1:31,56) and Philippe Lau from France (1:32,89).

I am super happy!“, so the 22-year old Johanna Holzmann.

„Today’s conditions at the Hintertuxer Glacier were even better than yesterday – sunny, only -14 degree, which made it easier to breath for the athletes, plenty of spectators, short waiting times during and after the race runs – it was a day you could only wish for. Such a perfect organisation only works with such a great team – big thank goes to all our volunteers!“, said Marc Künkele, moderator of the FIS Telemark World Cup.

The race continues tomorrow morning with the parallel sprint.
