The Swiss Duo Giulia Steingruber and Oliver Hegi failed in the semi-final to Ukraine, after both had experienced a fall. Steingruber fell in a forward somersault from the bar, Hegi missed after a rather simpler Element, the handle and slipped off the high bar. In the small Final she rehabilitated herself, won with four-tenths of a lead against the Germans, and the price of share money of 9000 francs. Steingruber was satisfied: “With such a Competition finish the season, is great.” Just two months ago, the Ostschweizerin had given to her severe knee injury in the Comeback.
Not a competition of luck, the other two Swiss, Ilaria Käslin and Pablo Brägger had.
