Disappointment for the Swiss “riders” involved in the slopestyle qualifications at the Beijing Olympics. Neither Nicolas Huber nor Jonas Bösiger could win their ticket for the final scheduled for Monday.
The Zurich (20th with 54.58 points) and the Schwyz (25th with 40.11 points) missed their case in the Genting Snow Park. Under pressure after a failed first run, they failed to sublimate on the second.
“It hurts”
Nicolas Huber (27) lost all hope on his last jump, which he failed to hold. “It hurts when you’re so close to the goal“, explained to the microphone of SRF the Zurich, who had found himself in isolation on his arrival in China after a positive test for Covid-19.
Jonas Bösiger (26) failed more clearly, making a mistake in the first section of rails. Only the first twelve of these qualifications, won by the amazing Chinese Su Yiming (17), made it to the final.
