In the compulsory exercise, Chait fell, and the pair, on whom many hopes were pinned, lost the chance for a medal and finished in 8th place.
To the Turin Games, the young siblings Alexandra Zaretsky and Roman Zaretsky, joined Chait and Sakhnovski, and for the first time, an Israeli representative in the alpine skiing competitions, in the form of Mikhail Renzin, who gave a respectable performance and almost managed to reach the Olympic final in his first Olympic Games.
