Howden grabbed the lead right out of the start gate in the men’s big final and held it all the way to the finish to earn his fourth World Cup win of the season. The FIS points champion has already clinched the Crystal Globe and Saturday’s win came with the coveted Golden Crown presented annually to the respective men’s and women’s winners in Sunny Valley. “I was feeling really confident going into the big final,” said Howden, on fis-ski.com. “At the first few heats of the day, I was a little bit nervous at the start, but as I made my way through the competition, the confidence came back. And standing in that start gate just now, I was feeling so good, so I just sent it and I am so happy with the result.”

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.
