Our Chamoniard Romain Desgranges placed 4th at Chamonix World Cup.
Romain shared his first reactions after the competition: "It's frustrating, of course. I feel like I have not really had a chance to fight." "But there are still some positive points. With Domen Skofic (SLO) eliminated in the semifinals, and the premature fall of Stefano Ghisolfi (ITA) in the final (7th), I consolidate my lead in the overall classification" he continues.
