Anything can happen, on the other hand if there have been six different winners in as many World Cup seasonal races, there will be a reason.
It's up to the Olympic slalom also for men, on the “Ice River” of Yanqing which crowned Petra Vlhova among women. A crazy race? It will probably be like this again, starting tomorrow at 3.15 am Italian, when the 1st heat designed by Marko Pfeifer, the Austrian coach, will start, followed at 6.45 by the decisive one that will have the tracing of Jacques Theolier, the Azzurri coach who, 12 years ago, he brought Giuliano Razzoli to the Olympic triumph.
And the Emilian champion will still be there, at the gate of his third Olympics, with important chances as demonstrated in the season of rebirth: bib n ° 18 for the "Razzo", second blue at the start after Alex Vinatzer, who caught the 12th and he will have to contain his exuberance, without however distorting himself, to compete for the medal in what will be the second five-circle slalom for the Gardena after his very young debut in PyeongChang. Tommaso Sala, in the first 7 between Kitz and Schladming, or the last CdM races, will have bib 20 on his shoulders and dreams of playing it too, in a specialty without masters.
Ramon Zenhaeusern (silver in Korea in 2018) will open the contest, starting with the 1 before Foss-Solevaag and Kristoffersen, the norge couple who want to bring the title back home. The last to conquer it was André Myhrer, who in the meantime has retired leaving the baton to Kristoffer Jakobsen, one of the many roaming mines for the Olympic race, bib n ° 9 and capable of everything, for better or for worse, as demonstrates the latest "night race".
Clément Noel, who was fourth in PyeongChang by touching a sensational medal at 20, would be the natural favorite but his season so far has been a semi-disaster, inaugural success in Val d''Isère aside. The transalpine will start with number 4, before Strasser, who won a surprise at Schladming, and the Austrian duo formed by Schwarz and Feller: the Carinthian is in crisis after chasing all year, the Tyrolean can play for any what, but it came out in giant.
Still running out of medals Alexis Pinturault (n ° 8), who plays the last card in a discipline where he starts, at least on paper, behind a dozen athletes, after Jakobsen there will be Matt, Meillard, precisely Vinatzer with 12, Dave Ryding for another British dream after Kitz, Lucas Braathen with 14, and we talk about the leader of the specialty World Cup, and Daniel Yule with 15. And then again Strolz with 19 and McGrath with 23 above all, together with Razzoli , after the first fifteen.
