With Tomb on holiday in Polynesia awaiting the grand finale of Bormio (and mathematics achievement Crystal Ball) l & rsquo; Italjet gives more satisfaction in what sar & agrave; the best season ever for the colors blue alpine skiing. A Whistler fact Kristian Ghedina takes home the second victory of the season after that achieved in Wengen and fourth of his career. On a track made even more difficult & ugrave; extreme by fog, l & rsquo; Ampezzo submits its immense qualities scivolatore to recover in the second half & agrave; race & ndash; the pi & ugrave; easy & ndash; detachment piled high against Lasse Kjus awoke a bit & rsquo; too late to be competitive for the World Cup. The Norwegian & egrave; beat 11 cents, third place for Patrick Ortlieb, trailing by 21. The first six are enclosed in 40 cents, made quite unusual when you consider the length of the track (2: 11:31 time Ghedina).
Not only meager detachments, but also two & ldquo; sweet & rdquo; hazards Ghedina, who until the end can not & ograve; celebrate success. Pietro Vitalini fact occurs in half & agrave; race with 6/10 of advantage that however slowly loses to finish in fifth place at the end, also beaten by Jean-Luc Cretier that for once replaces Luc Alphand as the best of the French; Werner Perathoner instead remains in command until the penultimate intermediate before surrendering itself to the grand finale of teammate; l & rsquo; Tyrolean sar & agrave; seventh behind Armin Assinger, for a test team again at the highest level.
With this victory, Ghedina part in the fight for the cup of specialty & agrave ;, seen rising to second place trailing by 31 points from Luc Alphand, thirteenth in Whistler, with three descents still theoretically in the calendar. It promises a season finale intriguing, because & eacute; if & egrave; true that the crystal ball & egrave; firmly in the hands of the Tomb (which commands with 1050 points against 700 Ko & scaron; ir and 614 of Girardelli), the cups of specialty & agrave; - Slalom apart - are all wide open and see at least one blue in contention: the same Tomba in giant, Ghedina downhill, and Peter Runggaldier in SuperG. With the possible acute Vitalini, Perathoner and Alessandro Fattori, 1995 will remain & agrave; blue in the history of the sport.
