Arthur Forissier and Sandra Mairhofer have backed up their 2nd place finishes in yesterday’s full distance race with a powerful Short Track performance that will see the Frenchman and the Italian claim the full 20 points to add to their World Cup tally. The win for Arthur Forissier gives him a near-perfect campaign in the World Cup series so far, taking maximum points in Taiwan and only just missing out on the double win in Belgium to his brother, Felix. Having only raced two stops he won’t have done enough to move above Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen yet, but he is well on track to start climbing the rankings if he keeps up this level of racing. For Sandra Mairhoifer, this was the kind of performance we’ve been waiting for. After not getting the start she would have wanted in Taiwan, she claimed her spot on the podium yesterday despite having issues with her tyre and put in a completely unanswered performance in the Short Track race today.
