Tess Ledeux & Andri Ragettli Win FIS Freeski World Cup Corvatsch Silvaplana 2024
The eleventh FIS Freeski World Cup Corvatsch Silvaplana is history. The favourite course of many riders offers the biggest kickers on the tour, creative rail features and a spectacular quarterpipe at the end for the 2024 edition. Tess Ledeux (FRA) and Andri Ragettli (SUI) continue their winning streak at Corvatsch and win the 2023/24 slopestyle World Cup finals. Mathilde Gremaud takes three crystal globes as the best freeskier of the season and is celebrated by the enthusiastic crowd.
In the women’s category, Tess Ledeux from France wins her fourth title in Silvaplana and is the queen of the Corvatsch ‘Hall of Fame.’ She is joined by Mathilde Gremaud in second place, who is on the Corvatsch podium for the first time, ahead of Jay Riccomini (USA) in third. With six World Cup victories this winter, Gremaud is the first woman in freeskiing to secure all three crystal globes, achieving everything there is to win for a female athlete: Olympic gold, world champion, X-Games title and now overall World Cup winner: “I’ve been lacking the crystal globe until now! My season was really great and consistent, I was almost always in the top three in the qualifiers and in the top two in the final. I’ve wanted a season like this for years, and now it’s finally happened!”
In the men’s competition, Andri Ragettli triumphed at his home World Cup for the third time after 2016 and 2019. With 81.05 points, he clearly came out on top, ahead of Austria’s Lukas Müllauer and Luca Harrington from New Zealand. Müllauer feels particularly at home in the Corvatsch Park: “For me, the Corvatsch course is by far the best of the whole season. This year it’s even more challenging than usual, I really enjoy it. I’m looking forward to the World Championships here next year.” The American Mac Forehand (Slopestyle) and Alex Ferreira (Overall Park & Pipe) secure the crystal globes.
Wind prevents the finals from taking place on Sunday. So – following a decision with the riders – the results of the final World Cup come from Friday’s qualification.
That was the FIS Freeski & Snowboard World Cup Corvatsch Silvaplana 2024. Next year, slopestyle and halfpipe world championship medals will be up for grabs in the Corvatsch Park at the Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships, St. Moritz, Engadin 2025 from 17-30 March. The twelfth edition of the World Cup will then take place in 2026. If you want to hone your own freestyle skills, the Corvatsch Park and the new halfpipe are the place to be. Rock the park!
