Skiing, slalom in Kitzbuehel: Kristoffersen commands, Hirscher chases

The Norwegian applause in the first heat: at 10/100 a super Matt, the Austrian champion third, but at 1 “05! Best blue Gross, sixth to 1” 70

A super Henrik Kristoffersen puts everyone in the first round of the slalom in Kitzbuehel. The Norwegian, under a dense snowfall, has tamed a difficult path with more than one fatal bump (they have also pushed Pinturault and Khoroshilov) and with such difficulty to give speed. And so Kristoffersen sees at least the podium in his pocket. In fact, only an extraordinary Austrian Michael Matt was capable of a performance up to the leader, closing with a delay of just 10/100. Third is the king of the slalom, Marcel Hirscher. But the Austrian champion, back from five consecutive victories in the specialty, accuses a heavy gap: 1 “05! Behind Hirscher at the moment we find the Swiss Daniel Yule to 1” 23 and the Norwegian Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen to 1 “69. Stefano Gross (with the bib number 1) is a sixth in 1 “70:” A race difficult to interpret with the bib 1, on tracks so difficult you do not know what speed to keep.A short track Matt and Kristoffersen have good skis, the Rossignol, but they also know how to make them go, their skiing was different from the others “.
