A very tough Olympic giant, between snow and fog but also some controversy, also raised by the big names, in particular for how (not) the track in the area after the finish was cleaned, with the risk of injuries around the corner.
At 6.45 the restart for the decisive heat, with Marco Odermatt in command as expected and despite a handicap start, but Brennsteiner (+ 0 "04), Faivre (+ 0" 08), Kristoffersen (+ 0 "12) and Favrot (+ 0 ”19) are glued. Luca De Aliprandini pays 49 cents, still a good sixth and still in full swing for the medals: the Italian leader explained his first heat to Rai Sport microphones. “Visibility was almost zero, a shame also for those who got up at home in the middle of the night - underlined the Trentino rider - Physically I recovered well from the injury, I felt ok, but I had little confidence seeing little of the ground. I just tried to miss as little as possible by staying on my feet, I thought I took 3 seconds and in the end I'm still there, half a second isn't even that bad.
The second? We hope the situation will improve and we will try ”.
