Wilmsmann on the course of the victory: German SkiRosser leads World Cup!

Florian Wilmsmann, the German SkiRosser, took a crucial step towards the overall ranking with his victory in the World Cup race in Canada. He now leads the ranking and has a good chance of winning the coveted crystal ball as the first German. The 29-year-old presented himself in an excellent form, which he demonstrated with his second place in the first race and the victory in the final in Craigleith. Here Wilmsmann prevailed against the two local heroes Reece Howden and Kevin Drury, who had previously followed him in the ranking lists.

After this successful weekend in Canada, Wilmsmann is in the overall ranking of 12 points ahead of Howden and 25 points ahead of the Italian world champion Simone Deromedis. He created optimal prerequisites for two races before the end of the season to expand his lead before the World Championships in Switzerland will come next weekend.

falls reduce the success of the German SkiRosser

In contrast to Wilmsmanns, the German ski chic on the Reiteralm recently had to struggle with falling bad luck. While Florian Wilmsmann was cleared by Tobias Müller in the semi -finals and missed the final run, he still secured fifth place in the small final. Müller ended in seventh place, while Cornell Renn took eighth place.

Daniela Maier, the Olympic third, also suffered a fall in the semi-finals and fell into the fishing net. Fortunately, she was able to free herself and became seventh. With these results, Maier said goodbye to the overall lead in the World Cup, while her teammates Wilmsmann, Müller and Renn were previously promising.

look into the future

The next World Cup races are already in Idre Fjäll, Sweden at the end of March and could be crucial for the overall ranking. With his remarkable performance in Canada and his front placement, Wilmsmann has positioned himself as a favorite in the overall ranking. It remains to be seen whether he can keep his lead until the end of the season and actually the first German win the crystal ball.
