L & rsquo; & egrave occasion; those to be exploited, and Alberto Tomba does not fail: the crystal ball now pocketed the champion Emilia also debunks the tab & ugrave; Kuonisbergli, the track on which he had never managed to win. Yet, compared to the previous wins, not & egrave; a walk: after the first run in the head c & rsquo; & egrave; Harald Strand Nilsen, revelation of the season, a boy growing and determined to win the first victory of his career. Tomb & egrave; second trailing by a couple of tenths, third & egrave; the usual Jure Ko & scaron; ir, also & rsquo; he fighting for the coveted first triumph as well as seasonal & eacute; absolute between poles wide. It should however be noted as Strand Nilsen and Ko & scaron; ir, the only ones able to compete with Tomba, have been facilitated by a storm of wind behind that earned their precious tenths compared to & rsquo; Italian, for once not benefited from the bib number 1.
The second race, held in equal conditions for all, Tomb interprets the Tomb: after skiing in total control for three quarters of the race, on the wall draws a masterpiece, recovering & ndash; however mild & ndash; delay suffered both Ko & scaron; ir that Strand Nilsen and conquering the tenth win of the season and number 43 of his career which effectively closes almost definitely every speech on the World Cup. According & egrave; Ko & scaron; ir, who was beaten by just 7 cents, and that once again must bow to his great friend and rival; only the third Norwegian, who escapes to 14 cents a success that will fail & agrave; never pi & ugrave; even to approach in the course of & rsquo; entire career. Convincing evidence even by Richard Kr & ouml; ll and Fredrik Nyberg, who after playing a great super-G in Kitzb & uuml; hel confirmed in great shape closing fourth and fifth respectively. Nothing to do for the & rsquo; another Italian, who places the usual three men in points (Ivan Bormolini twenty-second, twenty-sixth and Luke Norman Bergamelli Weighing twenty-eighth) but stellar distance from the top positions.
The 100 points & ldquo; & rdquo given away; to reintegrate in the calendar of the Adelboden giant allow Tomb grow to around 1050, almost doubled Ko & scaron; ir, which comes to 570, and Girardelli, which does not go beyond the eighteenth place for 563 points overall. If the final victory of Bologna does not appear in the discussion, very open & egrave; the fight for the podium, with even Mader (500), & Aring; modt (480), Alphand (469), Von Gr & uuml; NiGen (440) and Strand Nilsen (437) capable of competing with the Slovenian and l & rsquo; Austro Luxembourg .
The World Cup will take another two weekend break, always due to the hole formed after all & rsquo; cancellation of the world; ripartir & agrave; Japan, with a slalom and a giant in Furano that may allow Tomb is close mathematically every speech on the crystal ball, is to win the first career win in a country that loves it as a Hollywood star.
