All very close and an open battle, on the snows of Reiteralm which host the last race of the men's European Cup season, or the slalom after yesterday's giant.
Sebastian Holzmann and Dominik Raschner set the best time ex aequo in the first heat, but just 4 cents from the German and the Austrian here is the British Billy Major, second in the specialty ranking just 3 points from Anton Tremmel, 5th today halfway through the race with only 25 cents to recover, preceded by 6 by the Swiss Rochat.
Also in the running for today's podium is the very young Norwegian Steen Olsen, 6th at + 0 ”42, one cent ahead of the other British Laurie Taylor and with Tommaso Sala not far away; 8th time at 56 cents from the leaders (with dangerous men like Haugan and Nordbotten just behind him), to look for a top 3 in order to close in the best possible way, despite the Lombard is already out of the game for the permanent position in the perspective of the Coppa del World 2021/22. The final top 3 in the specialty is still possible for Tobias Kastlunger, but the Marebbano is 17 °, 1 ”30 away, and will have to perform a half miracle to succeed in the enterprise.
In view of the second heat, starting at 12.30, the fight for the general classification is still open, given that Lahnsteiner went out in the 1st heat, while Raphael Haaser remained in the thirty and can still look for the comeback which, for a specialist of speed what he is, it would be incredible given that a 5th place would be needed to scoff at his compatriot by 1 point. Qualified in the 30 for the second also Hannes Zingerle, 26th at 1 "74 after yesterday's triumph in the giant, while Matteo Bendotti is out (but will still start in the 60), 2" 34 away.

Magico Becchis, apre la doppietta azzurra con Valerio: è il 5° titolo mondiale del fuoriclasse cuneese
A Madona ecco il titolo tanto atteso per l'Italia dello skiroll, con la Sprint a skating tutta del campionissimo ancora sul gradino più alto del podio iridato, assieme al compagno di nazionale d'argento. Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
