The Swiss alpine snowboarders are disappointing at the second-last World Cup stop before the Winter Olympics in Italy.

In the parallel giant slalom on the Simonhöhe in Austria, only Julie Zogg and Flurina Bätschi reached the knockout rounds, but failed at the first opportunity in the round of 16.

The decision in the men's event was made without any Swiss participation. Gian Casanova, who finished third in Bansko a week ago to secure only the second Swiss podium finish of the season, was eliminated in qualifying, as was two-time World Championship medal winner Dario Caviezel.
