While snowboarder Victor De Le Rue was crowned world champion in Fieberbrunn in Austria during the penultimate round, three titles remained at stake this Friday at the Xtreme Verbier in Switzerland. On the legendary face of Bec des Rosses, the Frenchman took 4th place (run at 84.67 points), he who was the big favorite. He had won all the stages of the winter so far and therefore missed the incredible 5 out of 5 hoped for. The victory went to the American Jonathan Penfield (run at 92 points).
