They are the new names in world skiing, not just the giant.
Lucas Braathen and Marco Odermatt took the opening of the World Cup, giving a show in the 2nd heat of a giant from Soelden who rewarded the very young. The phenomenal Norwegian born in 2000 beat the 23-year-old Swiss by just 5 cents, who cherished the idea of his first success among the wide gates (it would have been the second in the maximum circuit).
Well deserved, however, the first hurray of the terrible boy who enchanted everyone, climbing for the first time on the podium after having already shown, both in giant and slalom in the past season, to be ready to be there with the greats. "I can't believe it - Braathen exclaimed after the race, shaking his head several times - It's something incredible and unexpected, I just thought about skiing to the max".
Unconsciousness and enormous class, like that of a Marco Odermatt who last year threw the podium on the Rettenbach to the winds, making everything wrong in the second heat, but today he recovered from his part after the first closed in 7th place, but only 31 cents from Caviezel. “I knew I could have done better and it was a great heat. It wasn't enough to win, but I'm satisfied with the result ”.
