In Davos
Auner wins parallel slalom, Obmann third
Snowboarder Arvid Auner won the World Cup parallel slalom in Davos on Saturday. In the final, the Styrian defeated Swiss local hero Dario Caviezel to celebrate his third individual World Cup success.
His compatriot Fabian Obmann came third in the small final. Tsubaki Miki from Japan came out on top in the women's event. The best Austrian was Sabine Payer in fifth place, just ahead of Claudia Riegler.
"I wanted to give myself a big Christmas present and this is it," said Auner after his triumph. The 27-year-old had already been the fastest in qualifying. Andreas Prommegger, Benjamin Karl and Alexander Payer completed the strong Austrian result in the men's event with sixth, seventh and tenth place respectively. The Parallel World Cup will now take a three-week break and will resume on January 11 in Scuol, Switzerland.
