Strolz and another dream, the Norwegians one breath away, Sala best blue: the 1st round of the Olympic slalom

After the gold in the combined, the Austrian leads in the middle of the race, but Kristoffersen and Foss-Solevaag are just 2 and 6 cents behind. In 12 under the second, with Razzoli to close the row, while Vinatzer will need a half miracle to still hope for the medal.

A battle without quarter, a first round of the men's Olympic slalom with great balance, as expected also for the technical context presented by the Yanqing track, as well as the uncertainty linked to the values of this discipline in the season. At 6.45 am, for the 2nd heat designed by the Azzurri coach, Jacques Theolier, Johannes Strolz will be the last to start again dreaming of another gold medal after the one won in the combined. The son of art prints the best time going down with the number 19, to anticipate Henrik Kristoffersen by just 2 cents, in full swing to win his first Olympic title, and by 6 the other top Norwegian, the world champion Sebastian Foss-Solevaag.
