Braathen-Kristoffersen-Odermatt, what a show on the Gran Risa: "See you tomorrow guys..."

A Norwegian double on the Gran Risa, a breath ahead of that monster by the name of Marco Odermatt, for once beaten in giant after having "slept" in the first heat which, in fact, prevented him from the trio of the season and the second victory consecutive in the temple of Alta Badia, where he rejoiced for the first time a year ago. Who knows that on Monday, on the occasion of race-2 (the two heats at 10-13.30), the same situation as in 2021 will happen, or rather "Odi" beaten in the opening and then dominant in the encore, as many are already predicting for tomorrow given what was shown in today's second heat by the leader of the specialty and absolute cup. In fact, Lucas Braathen and Henrik Kristoffersen managed to beat him by a tenth, with the 2000 class of Brazilian origins in turn ahead of 2 cents compared to HK94. “What a race, it was close to the first victory of the season - commented Henrik on social media - I'm definitely satisfied with the skiing, it's a very nice 2nd place for a Norwegian double. And I'm ready for a new battle tomorrow." "Pinheiro" took another legendary slope, after having won the slalom seven days earlier on the Face de Bellevarde in Val d''Isère, demonstrating the quality and completeness of a boy who is now always ready to gamble for something great. "How nice it is to win two races like this in one week. Today was very hard and tomorrow it will be even more". “I didn't think I could get back into the fight for victory, even at just 10 cents - Odermatt himself told SRF Sport, who in any case with third place kept open the streak of 11 consecutive podiums in CdM giants (the 8 of last season and the first 3 of this one) – What happened in the 1st heat? This morning I returned below my value, there is little to say. I just wanted to do much better and simply attack at full speed."
