German Snowboarding Star Ramona Hofmeister's Podium Drought Continues

Hofmeister exits in the quarterfinals at the Carezza World Cup, marking her eighth consecutive race without a podium finish.

Ramona Hofmeister, a four-time overall World Cup champion, failed to reach the podium in the Parallel Giant Slalom at Carezza, losing in the quarterfinals to Italy's Jasmin Coratti.
This marks Hofmeister's eighth consecutive race without a podium finish, a streak not seen since the early years of her career, which began in 2014.
Hofmeister expressed some optimism, stating she felt better than in the season's earlier races in China and believes her form is improving.
The entire German snowboarding team struggled in Carezza, with no racers securing a podium finish this season and the men failing to advance past qualification rounds.
The next World Cup races are scheduled for Saturday in Cortina d'Ampezzo, offering another opportunity for the German team to rebound.
