In Val Thorens
Adam Kappacher celebrates his first World Cup victory
Adam Kappacher from Salzburg has celebrated his first Ski Cross World Cup victory in Val Thorens. The 30-year-old shared first place on Friday with Switzerland's Alex Fiva, who finished level after a photo finish.
Third place went to Canadian Kevin Drury. The second best Austrian in the second competition of the season was Johannes Aujesky in seventh place.
"It's a dream come true with the first victory, and then such a close photo finish. I've always struggled here in recent years, so I'm all the happier," said Kappacher.
He had only ever made it onto a World Cup podium once before, finishing third in Idre Fjäll in 2022. No Austrians took part in the women's race. The next competitions will take place next week in Arosa.
