19-year-old Walter Wallberg became last season's World Cup-four in parallel-hump piste, and total four in the World Cup. It was a bit polished, so the goal this winter is clear, with the World Cup premiere just over a month away.
- I have two second places and two third places, so the goal is obviously a first place, says Walter Wallberg.
Walter Wallberg is tall for being a humpback rider, which promotes the ride but can hamper the speed and rotation of the jump. And that is precisely in the jump he needs to approach the sports giant Mikaël Kingsbury from Canada, who won the 2018 Olympics and the World Cup last year, as well as the World Cup.
- If I get a little better points on the jump then I'm up there and fight him. I was pretty close last year, but it is still a small gap and it is in the jump and the time, says Walter Wallberg to SVT Sport.
