Too many mistakes
Payer (formerly Schöffmann) finished the round of 16 in fourth place but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after an errant series against Japan’s Tsubaki Miki. Riegler, 51, narrowly lost to South Korea’s Jeong Hae-rim. In the men’s category, four ÖSV athletes managed to pass the qualifying rounds. Alexander Payer and overall World Cup champion Karl were eliminated in the round of 16. Karl, who was second fastest in the heats, lost the ÖSV duel with Obmann and finished ninth, while Payer finished 13th. For Prommegger it was the end of the line in the last eight against local hero Bi Ye; Obmann lost to Lee Sang-ho from South Korea.
