A surprising twist was played in the ski world cup rotation event.
The player who was 29th in the first period won the championship as his competitors crumbled.

Norway's Braten, who finished 29th in the first season, barely made it to the second season, finishing up to 30th.
It was difficult to expect a medal after being one second behind even 10th place in the ranking method based on the sum of the 1st and 2nd periods.
But a miracle happened.
Braten, who raced through the snowy field terribly, crossed the finish line more than 5 seconds earlier than in the first period, and calmly watched the remaining 28 players.
And on the snowfield that gradually melted and became increasingly slippery, competitors slipped one after another.
It was a series of falls, bumps into gates and skis coming off, and Braten looked in disbelief before bringing tears to his eyes when he secured his medals.
And Christopher Perssen, the last player and first place in the first round, was disqualified just before the finish line while leading Braten by more than a second, completing a miraculous comeback drama.
The 22-year-old morning star Braten, who won the gold medal in reverse in the 29th place in the first round for the first time in history, raised her dream of the Beijing Olympics by winning her first gold medal in the swivel event.
