Olympic silver medalist Federico Tomasoni<\/a> (ITA) won the small final ahead of Ryan Regez<\/a> (SUI), Terence Tchiknavorian<\/a> (FRA) and Alexis Jay<\/a> (FRA).<\/p>\n

Daniela Maier<\/a> (GER) won the women\u2019s small final, with Mylene Ballet Baz<\/a> (FRA) the only other competitor to cross the finish line as Isabelle Zippert<\/a> (SUI) and Katrin Ofner<\/a> (AUT) did not finish.<\/p>\n

Crystal Globe outlook<\/p>\n

Maier, second in the World Cup standings, made up 45 points on leader Sandra Naeslund<\/a> (SWE) with her fifth-place finish. Naeslund did not finish in Thursday\u2019s qualification and qualified second on Friday. She needed to win both races this weekend to lift her fifth Crystal Globe here but the battle will extend to the season finale in Gallivare.<\/p>\n

Reece Howden<\/a> (CAN) could yet seal his fourth Crystal Globe on home snow with a win on Sunday. In the men\u2019s second quarter-final, Howden and Kristofor Mahler<\/a> (CAN) both lost their outside ski entering Turn 2. Mahler started ski racing as a child at Craigleith Ski Club and will be joining Howden and Jared in looking to provide the home fans more cheer tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Jared said: \u201cI\u2019ve been really close all year, just always knocking on the door, and finally today I put my head down and made it into the big final. Leading all the way down, I knew Youri was going to be there, made one mistake at the bottom. But for the Schmidts, it\u2019s pretty great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The FIS Ski Cross World Cup continues with a second day of racing in Craigleith, Canada on 22 March 2026, followed by two races in Gallivare, Sweden from 28-29 March 2026.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olympic silver medalist Federico Tomasoni (ITA) won the small final ahead of Ryan Regez (SUI), Terence Tchiknavorian (FRA)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397007,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,87790,33131,19,17,87788,87789,82,87791],"class_list":["post-397006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-eire","tag-federation","tag-fis","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-ski","tag-snowboard","tag-technology","tag-winter-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116268592277927689","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397006\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
