He cheered angrily on his arrival, probably realizing that that heats would have been enough to at least get on the podium ... "but I didn't think I would win", he confessed at the end of the race.
Henrik Kristoffersen took the giant of Alta Badia for the first time, and at the same time he hoisted himself on the top of all the World Cup rankings that can be played, namely general, giant and slalom. After the umpteenth flop of Alexis Pinturault between the wide doors, the Norwegian is the first favorite for the crystal ball, if we think that we will see six slaloms in January. "And my focus is precisely on those races, after the parallel giant of tomorrow that I will try to play my best, but it is not my specialty".
Henrik had argued with the organization after the 1st race, which had seen him finish sixth, 26 cents from teammate Nestvold-Haugen: “They told me that the track has only been prepared since last Wednesday - his words to the Norwegian media - I think the water did not have a great effect, such a surface is dangerous as well as making the race unspectacular ".
Clearly, in the post victory the 25 year old Norwegian only thought of celebrating, with a small note: “I would have preferred to win starting from the top, the real Gran Risa, the one that Marcel (referring to Hirscher, winner of the last six editions) has always conquered. However, it is a very important victory, the second heat was good and in the end it was enough to get back up to the first place. Go on like this".
