- Amy Baserga and Niklas Hartweg made it to 2nd place in the single mixed at the World Cup in Nove Mesto.
- The mixed relay with Elisa Gasparin, Lena Häcki-Gross, Sebastian Stalder and Serafin Wiestner disappointed over 4×6 km with 9th place.
The Swiss duo also impressed in the second single mixed season this season. As in Pokljuka at the beginning of the year, Amy Baserga and Niklas Hartweg attracted attention with a podium finish. This time it was even enough for the 2nd place.
The decisive factor was the last standing stage: Hartweg took all the risks and got all five shots on target quickly and without any errors. He advanced to second place behind the Norwegians with Marte Röiseland/Vetle Christiansen, which he did not give up until the finish line. 20 seconds behind, the Latvian duo ran in 3rd place.
Baserga and Hartweg are increasingly developing into a powerful duo. The two also took second place at the home European Championships in Lenzerheide.
Mixed relay with 3 penalty loops
The mixed relay with four players Elisa Gasparin, Lena Häcki-Gross, Sebastian Stalder and Serafin Wiestner, who had to make do with 9th place, did not get going at all.
Halfway through the race things still looked good for Switzerland. Häcki-Gross handed over as 5th, a little more than 10 seconds behind. Previously, Gasparin had kept up at the top. But things quickly went downhill after that: Stalder got a penalty in the standing stage. And Wiestner even had to do an additional loop twice after he had blundered while lying down. In total, Switzerland also recorded 15 spares.
A good result like in the first mixed relay of this World Cup season (rank 4) was of course a long way off. Switzerland remained in 9th place, more than 3 minutes behind.
France victorious again
France, who had already triumphed in Pokljuka, got the small ball for the discipline victory. Final runner Fabien Claude was the one that tip the scales. He shot clean in the shooting and finished a comfortable 33 second lead over Sweden. Norway ran close behind in 3rd place. The team competed in a different formation than at the World Championship title in Oberhof.
