Noé Roth jumps onto the podium at the World Cup opener for ski acrobats. The 24-year-old from Zug finished 2nd in Lake Placid behind Sun Jiaxu and ahead of four other Chinese athletes.
However, the world champion, who was rewarded with 123.9 points for his jump with four twists and three somersaults in the super final, was over twelve points short of his fourth World Cup victory. Pirmin Werner was the second Swiss athlete to make it through to the final of the top 12, but the Zurich native had to settle for 11th place.
