Salzburg’s Manuel Kramer raced to the bronze medal at the Speed Ski World Championships in Vars (France). Due to strong winds, the semi-finals and finals had to be canceled on Sunday, so the last qualifying run was counted. This brought the Austrian record holder third place behind the Frenchman Simon Billy (231.43) and the Czech Radim Palan (230.57) with a speed of 229.28 km/h. Fourth place went to Styrian Klaus Schrottshammer (228.44).
