It took a photo at the finish to determine it but Howden got to the line first, just ahead of Niklas Bachleitner of Germany, while Simone Deromedis of Italy edged Leharr for bronze. “The plan was to not come out in front, the draft was too strong,” Howden told Alpine Canada. I wanted to chill in the middle of the pack and give my legs a bit of a break and once I made that last turn fire up those engines and get out in front.” Today was a day of racing, not a day of leading, so I was super happy with my execution and it couldn t have gone any better.

After two fantastic opening Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup events in December in Arosa (SUI) with its double night races and back-to-back competitions in Val Thorens (FRA), it is now time to solemnly open the year 2021 for some great ski cross action in Sweden with the “Idre Fjäll TRE” event.
For the first time, we are going to witness not two, but three competitions in Idre Fjäll. The first one will be a 600m sprint on the finish straight of the course on Wednesday, January 20, promising to be one tight battle from start to finish. It’s a setting that has never been taking place like that before, so it will be interesting to see, how athletes are going to battle it out at one straight line full of jumps and rollers.
