In the rain the second heat Felix Neureuther gave to himself and to Germany (in the men) the first victory of the season by triumphing in the slalom World Cup Naeba.

Here the complete results and l & rsquo; analysis of the race and rankings of the World Cup! The race will & egrave; turning on a slope easy, certainly not comparable to the convoluted yesterday giant, and in a climate tutt & rsquo; other than winter: more than 10 degrees and the sun in the first half & agrave; race and, as mentioned, the rain in the second and Felix & egrave; He managed to do better than pap & agrave; Christian, he recalled in interviews after the race, which in the resort & agrave; in Niigata Prefecture he was second in 1973 and third in 1975 through the narrow doors. The 31 year old Bavarian Garmisch-Partenkirchen has climbed up from fifth place in the first round to win his twelfth success at the World Cup, the tenth in slalom, did not win the race through the narrow doors of Wengen on 17 January 2015. & nbsp; For he is also the 40 & deg; podium and & egrave; a great personal revenge after thrown victory in the second race of the Night Race in Schladming. His compatriot Fritz Dopfer, despite having done much better than the second run of the giant yesterday, once again missing the win after closing the lead the first half, however, with the bib number 1, the best number ever today, and closed quarter to 29 cents. According to just 5 cents you & egrave; placed Andr & eacute; Myhrer, Sweden's third in half & agrave; race, back on the podium of specialty & agrave; after the same position obtained in Adelboden January 12, 2014 but quest & rsquo; winter was gi & agrave; It was third in the so-called parallel giant dell & rsquo; Alta Badia last Dec. 21, up to now only podium of the men's Sweden, for him rather have 20 in his career. Third place went to 24 cents for the best of the Austrians, Mark Schwarz, the 20 year old Carinthian catching up from twelfth place equals the position obtained last December 22 in Madonna di Campiglio, and is still the most & ugrave; solid reality & agrave; while the strong young Wunderteam slalom. But the news of the day & egrave; that on the podium there are not n & eacute; Marcel Hirscher n & eacute; Henrik Kristoffersen. L & rsquo; Austria has even got on to the fourth port of the first round while the Norwegian, who went in search of the seven victories record in specialty & agrave ;, finished in a tie seventh place with compatriot Sebastian Foss Solev & aring; g after being eighth at half & agrave; race. Now the fight for the World Cup becomes a lottery: Hirscher and Kristoffersen are separated by 88 points, still a relative margin of safety to the benefit of & rsquo; Austrian who memorize options sar & agrave; almost forced to play in the three super-G that remain, possibly picking up serious points. As for the slalom cup, Kristoffersen l & rsquo; almost in your pocket: when missing three races, including the City Event in Stockholm, his lead & egrave; 216 points on Hirscher, everyone else is out of the game. L & rsquo; Austria consoles dell & rsquo; Marcel output with its & ldquo; & rdquo ;: new wave in addition to Schwarz, c & rsquo; & egrave; the best career result for Marc Digruber, gi & agrave; ninth and tenth in Santa Caterina Valfurva to Schladming and today the fifth, and also to Michael Matt, Mario's brother, that making the best part-time has climbed up from twenty-second to sixth place centering his first result in the top ten. Rounding out the top ten in ninth and tenth on the Swiss Daniel Yule and l & rsquo; eternal Frenchman Julien Lizeroux, among the disappointed of the day the Swede Mattias Hargin, second after the first run and the twelfth to the finish line, the Russian Aleksandr Khoroshilov, fourteenth, and Frenchman Alexis Pinturault out in the decisive fraction after the tenth place in the first. After three podiums in three races between South Korea and Japan l & rsquo; Italy this time remains out not only from the first three, but the top 10: Stephen Gross and Patrick Thaler were fourth and seventh after the first run but finished eleventh and eighteenth respectively, can memorize options ; be happy instead Andrea Ballerin that over twenty-fifth place winning his first career points in slalom, off in the first round Simon Maurberger, Roberto Nani and Riccardo Tonetti and second Manfred Moelgg. The male White Circus returns to Europe, specifically in Chamonix, where Friday & igrave; and Saturday will be played a combined and downhill.
