Semenov Wins St. Moritz Gold, Siebel Season Champion

From St. Moritz, SUI

(January 21, 2026) – Felix Siebel realistically just needed to finish upright over two runs in St. Moritz to take the season title in Europe Cup action, and did just that.

The German had a pair of slower starts, but two clean runs to slide to fourth in Switzerland to win the championship by nearly 200 points over teammate Stefan Rötig, who finished ninth.

In the race for medals, Pietro Drovanti held off Austrian Alexander Schlintner for silver, while Vladislav Semenov won gold for the fourth time in as many races.

Vinzenz Buff and Giovanni Marchetti finished fifth and sixth for Switzerland and Italy, respectively.

Germany took all three spots on the season podium, with Ludwig Mannhardt holding off China’s Guoqing Yu for the final spot.
