With the World Cup now firmly in his hands, for Alberto Tomba & egrave; raise important points for winning the cup of specialty & agrave ;, ultimate goal remained to seasonal. But Japan is once again demonstrates tab & ugrave; for the sample of Castel de & rsquo; Britt: third after the first run, only 7 cents from Jure Ko & scaron; ir, the Bomb ends out in the second, back in Europe with a double zero unusual when you consider that until now, the giants of Tignes and Val d & rsquo; Isere in part, he always won. Journalists are unleashed talking about the crisis of the Tomb and the World Cup at risk, comments nothing short of hilarious considering l & rsquo; unrepeatable season played until then and l & rsquo; large advantage that still boasts over rivals pi & ugrave; credible. I just have to go home disappointed his Japanese fans, who worship him as a rock star but have never managed & ndash; and never succeed & ndash; to see him triumph over their snow. L & rsquo; unique ranking still dancing & egrave; instead the giant slalom, which sees Tomb always in the lead but with Ko & scaron; ir, Strand Nilsen & Aring; modt, Von Gr & uuml; NiGen and K & auml; lin covered by less than a hundred points and therefore still theoretically in the running to overtake. The giant of Furano is won by Mario Reiter, the first success in career, completing a two-day triumphant considering the second-place finish in slalom. According & egrave; Ko & scaron; ir, once again unable to take advantage of l & rsquo; error of his pi & ugrave; great opponent and the first position in the mid & agrave; race, being beaten by Reiter of just 11 cents. The podium & egrave; completed by Harald Strand Nilsen preceding his pi & ugrave; illustrious countrymen Lasse Kjus and Kjetil Andre & Aring; modt, competitive returned too late to hope for a comeback against Tomba. If the previous day in slalom Fabio De Crignis had managed to win the first top ten of the season & rsquo; another Italian, the gigantism not improve their standards, finishing as usual in the rear. The best & egrave; Ivan Bormolini eighteenth 3 & rdquo; 70 from Reiter; at points, but trailing by more than 5 seconds, even Sergio Bergamelli twenty and Gerhard K & ouml; nigsrainer twenty-second. In general classification Alberto remains the lead with 1050 points against the 700 of & rsquo; harmless Ko & scaron; ir, which remain the only two races in Bormio techniques available, and 603 of Girardelli, also out in giant Furano. Fourth & Aring; modt, which nevertheless pays almost 500 points probably unrecoverable despite the calendar: the White Circus in fact moves in North America for four speed events between Whistler and Aspen that anticipate the two Kvitfjell before the grand finale of Bormio. Six hundred points in pi & ugrave; available to skiers, who still would need a miracle to complete a dramatic turnaround.
