Elias Ambühl wins the Austrian Freeski Open 2009
The Swiss newcomer shows a perfect run, his brother Andri Ambühl places second in front of Beni Mayr in third. Patrick Hollaus is Austrian Champion. Yesterday was a worthy Finals’ Day for the seventh edition of the Austrian Open. Under bright blue skies 30 competitors showcased the highest riding level that could have been witnessed at a freeski contest in Austria. 16-year-old Elias Ambühl simply had a perfect run with an unbelievably clean and stylish Switch Double Corked 1080° Japan. Says Rafael Regazzoni, the event’s Head Judge from France: ”That was most likely the best double cork 10 that I have ever seen. He couldn‘t have done anything better!“ Patrick Hollaus claimed the title as Austrian Champion. As usual, he impressed with a clean style on the kickers and finished fifth overall.
