Steven Amiez starts off pretty good, but then a wave in the middle part of the track gives him a bit of a scare. It sends him flying and he’s gotta make a quick turn. He pushes too hard on the steep part and ends up being 1.49 seconds slower than the leader. He takes the seventh spot.
Meillard’s right there, just a tiny 0.19 seconds behind.

A small update on Loic Meillard’s performance. The Swiss skier looked like a pro out there, carving through the middle part of the run like a knife through butter, playing with those waves like they’re just a bunch of friends out for a ride. He had a tiny slip on the final slope, turning almost sideways, but bounced back like a champ and sped up again, getting right back in the mix for the medals. Dude’s only 0.19 seconds behind Noel, which is basically just a blink of an eye. He’s sitting pretty in second place right now! 🏋️☠️💨
And about Straßer, he’s not too far off either! He’s seriously close to the podium action. Keep an eye on him!




Timon Haugan slips up a bit at the start, but the speedy Norwegian dude quickly gets back into the groove. Near the end, his skis slide a tad on the final slope. And guess what? He’s still seven tenths slower than Noel. Did the French guy just have a total fairytale run or what?
Kristoffersen’s way back there, not even close to Noel
So, in a more chill way, Timon had a tiny hiccup at the top, but he bounces back fast. But then, his skis play a little trick on him at the bottom. And the big deal is, he’s still not as fast as Noel by a noticeable margin. It’s like Noel had a run that’s pure magic. And poor Kristoffersen, he’s not even in the same ballpark!


Who else might be fighting for those shiny medals, you ask? Well, there’s the Norwegian slalom superstar, Henrik Kristoffersen, who’s been holding onto that title like it’s nobody’s business. Then there’s Timon Haugan, Atle Lie McGrath, and Alexander Steen Olsen, all showing some serious skills this season. From Austria, we’ve got the speedy trio of Marco Schwarz, Manuel Feller, and Fabio Gstrein, definitely not guys you’d want to bet against.
The Swiss are bringing heat with Daniel Yule, Loic Meillard, and Tanguy Nef, who’ve all had their moments on the podium. Don’t forget Italy’s Alex Vinatzer, who’s been tearing up the slopes like he owns the place. And let’s talk about the Swede, Kristoffer Jakobssen, who’s been absolutely smoking the competition on this particular hill.
But wait, there’s more! We’ve got the Bulgarian talent Albert Popov and the British hero Dave Ryding, both ready to throw down. And not to be outdone, Samuel Kolega from Bulgaria and the Brazilian ripper Lucas Pinheiro Braathen are in the mix too, keeping things spicy.
Long story short, the list of folks who could snatch a medal is longer than the line for the ski lift. It’s gonna be one heck of a competition!
Ski Worlds 2025: Loic Meillard Snatches Gold with Franjo von Allmen, the Downhill Superstar, in Epic Team Event!
So, in the 2025 Ski Worlds, this dude Loic Meillard totally came through for the win! He teamed up with Franjo von Allmen, who’s basically a legend on the downhill slopes, and together they ruled the team combination event. It was like watching a perfectly choreographed dance on skis, but with way more speed and less tutus. These guys are the real deal, folks!
