Hofmeister had a pineapple on his head: German snowboard ace experiences unusual doping control. She won the parallel giant slalom in Krynica in Poland on Saturday (February 24th) and extended her lead at the top of the rankings.

The 27-year-old now has a clear lead in the fight for the big crystal ball. According to Hofmeister, the World Cup is more important than a World Cup. She wants to enjoy the last races, but “hope that at the end I can take the small crystal ball home with me”
