The Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr, who leads the World Cup, had to step to the top of the podium in Garmisch.

But one of the big surprises in the competition was the competition's only Swede, Felix Monsén, who started as 26th and had a very nice ride where he was on his way to personal best.

However, the 26-year-old lost a bit in the end and went in as 15th, 1.07 behind Kriechmayr.

- He shows exactly what he can do.

Then it is not easy to put the end.

The important thing is that he rides so smart, says SVT's expert Björn Fagerlind.

"Strengthens his ranking"

The ride is close to his best World Cup result and is an important result before the World Cup which starts on Monday.

- This is what I had hoped he would achieve.

It strengthens his ranking, which is so important, says Fagerlind.

Austria was also represented in second place in the form of Matthias Mayer.

Third was the Swiss Marco Odermatt.
