Switzerland wins despite the Reusser fall
Marlen Reusser, Elise Chabbey, Nicole Koller, Stefan Küng, Mauro Schmid and Stefan Bissegger have the Switzerland won World Championship gold in the mixed relay. The Confederates have thus lived up to their role as favourites. And that despite the fact that Marlen Reusser fell in a right-hand bend and Switzerland lost a lot of time as a result. Nevertheless, they were 7 and 51 seconds faster than the French and the Germans at the finish. At least Franziska Koch, Ricarda Bauernfeind, Lisa Klein, Jannik Steimle, Miguel Heidemann and Max Walscheid can be happy about the bronze medal.
