The descent places the Norwegian ahead of the Canadians Crawford and Seger, but Strolz (34 years after his father Hubert) and Schwarz are just 75 and 95 cents towards the slalom and references for gold. Innerhofer seventh at 1 "07, for the two big favorites a really wide gap. Bad injury for Yannick Chabloz.

A descent that overturns the situation among the (few) favorites of an Olympic combined with just 27 members and which now sees Austria even dreaming of a double.
The best time on Yanqing's Rock was signed by Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, with just two hundredths of a margin on James Crawford, and so far no particular surprise even if Brodie Seger, at 42 cents, is really good at entering third place: the Norwegian and two Canadians, who will therefore start with the first three bibs in the decisive slalom scheduled at 7.15 am Italian, however, have too little margin on two specialists of narrow poles such as Johannes Strolz and Marco Schwarz, very good in the downhill heat.
The son of art is sensationally fourth at just 75 cents and becomes the first favorite for the gold medal, 34 years after the feat of father Hubert. It would be an incredible story, an Olympic story.
Marco Schwarz, the reigning world champion, is reborn on the most important day after a difficult season, he is just two tenths behind his teammate and knows how to handle this kind of pressure.
The third main candidate for medals is Justin Murisier, excellent sixth at 1 ”02, since the Swiss in slalom knows how to get by and how; Christof Innerhofer closes 5 cents behind him, he will have to "save himself" in the slalom and maybe hope for some other mistake to look for a good placement.
Thompson, Zabystran and Haaser are not very scary, and here is only eleventh at 1 "92 (ex aequo with the Greek Szollos) the favorite number 1 on the eve, Alexis Pinturault, at least from 4th place" virtual "(even if it will not be trivial recover almost 2 seconds to Kilde and Crawford) but who really sees the dream of the first Olympic gold from afar.
A very bitter debut in five circles for the young Swiss Yannick Chabloz, for whom there is a fear of a serious injury to his arm, while at the Rossocrocia home we also cry for the very serious mistake that takes Loic Meillard away from the medals, with a 2 "79 gap for the co-favorite for the title. Philp and Aerni, two other racing outsiders, do the same and finish at 3 ”72 and 3” 91 respectively, effectively cut off from the game.
