Aerials specialist Noé Roth celebrated his 3rd World Cup victory at the Relais in Quebec. The Zugois showed 3 high quality jumps. In the top-6 superfinal where everyone starts from scratch, he landed without the slightest movement at the reception.
Roth is currently the safe bet of the Swiss team. He had already taken 2nd place twice in the first two events of the season, including Saturday behind the American Quinn Dehlinger. He can approach the next World Championships in Bakuriani with confidence. He still has more difficult jumps with 3 somersaults and 5 rotations in reserve. In Georgia, however, he will face opposition from the Chinese.
Zurich’s Andrin Schädler reached the superfinal for the first time in his career. He showed a jump with a high degree of difficulty, but his landing was not perfect and he finished 6th. Pirmin Werner, Ruka’s winner at the start of the season, missed as 7th for the 2nd time on the last step.
