And of course to win & egrave; Alberto Tomba. There & rsquo; & egrave; their history, in 1994-95 l & rsquo; Emilian & egrave; two categories superior to his opponents in slalom, and even on the difficult track Swiss Bomb confirms unbeatable, dominating with ridiculous ease & agrave; both the first and the second heat and winning once again with more than a second margin. Tomb sounds cos & Igrave; The ninth symphony: ninth consecutive victory in slalom (the last two of the previous season and seven in the current one) and ninth win of the season (seven in giant slalom and two). The family Pacor, the late envoy of Corriere dello Sport Aldo and his son Matthew, you do find ready reproducing during the awarding Beethoven's Ninth, l & rsquo; Ode to Joy dedicated to him that & egrave; now intended to bring the World Cup Alpine Skiing in Italy vent & rsquo; years after the fourth triumph of Gustav Th & ouml; ni. For the moment Alberto makes sure the fourth cup of specialty & agrave; Slalom career, won two races with d & rsquo; advance given the 323-point margin that boasts Michael Tritscher.
The superstar of Castel de & rsquo; Britt & egrave; accompanied on the podium by a newfound Michael Von Gr & uuml; NiGen and usually Jure Ko & scaron; ir. L & rsquo; Switzerland, the best result in his career between the posts tight, back cos & Igrave; among the top three after the dislocated shoulder suffered in December slalom in Lech when was the & rsquo; man pi & ugrave; fit after Tomb, proving to be ready to compete for medals in the forthcoming world. The Slovenian instead you will have & agrave; eat your hands to have found its way on an opponent like Alberto, without which probably would have not only won this crystal ball, but he also had a better career than that however good that led him to be one of the pi & ugrave; large Slovenian skiers of all time. Fourth Thomas Fogd & ouml ;: nobody knows, but will & agrave; this l & rsquo; last race in the career of the unlucky Swedish champion. As for the & rsquo; other Italy, are three to center the points, but all a far cry from the first: Kurt Ladst & auml; tter & egrave; fifteenth to 5 & rdquo; 24, Fabrizio Tescari twenty-seventh at 7 & rdquo; 36 and Fabio De Crignis twenty-eighth at 7 & rdquo; 40.
The slalom as said also applies to the combined, won by Marc Girardelli walking in front of Norwegian Lasse Kjus and Harald Strand Nilsen. The 100 points scored in any case do not allow all & rsquo; Austro Luxembourg to approach Tomb, as in the slalom real ends tenth for 26 points overall gain. Raise the white flag instead definitely Kjetil Andre & Aring; modt, which bestrides, dates back to the lineup and & egrave; forced to give way to the podium to his countrymen.
The general classification sees Tomb the lead with 950 points, 400 ahead of exact Girardelli and 460 in pi & ugrave; compared to Ko & scaron; ir. Fourth & egrave; Mader, which stores the three days of Wengen with the misery of 6 points collected in slalom, Alphand fifth, sixth & Aring; modt. This, therefore, the situation when the World Cup you should stop to give way to the world of the Sierra Nevada.
Yet, even during the most & ugrave; dominant career, the Bad luck on Alberto Tomba. A few days after the slalom in Wengen in fact the FIS officially announces that because of & rsquo; lack of snow in the Sierra Nevada World Championships not be held & agrave ;, being postponed all & rsquo; following year, with no main event. Beffa atrocious for our champions, who would win on one leg slalom and would be the number one favorite in giant. The curse of the world (one bronze, in giant in Crans Montana in 1987, & egrave; the miserable haul of four exhibitions played by King of Alpine skiing) continues to haunt Tomb, which you might & agrave; however, from here to the end of the season to concentrate to take home the coveted crystal ball trophy that still does not seem the least questioned.
