It was not an exceptional weekend for the Italgigante in Kranjska Gora, but all in all the 6th place yesterday and then today's top ten are results that keep Luca De Aliprandini in the running for the final podium in the ranking of specialty, with the Trentino fourth at 53 points behind Manuel Feller, when only next Saturday's match of the finals is missing.
In Courchevel-Méribel there will also be Giovanni Borsotti, who qualified thanks to today's top 20 and 23rd place in the discipline ranking after 7 of the 8 giants played. Marco Odermatt won four (in addition to the Olympic one), three Henrik Kristoffersen who scored an amazing double on the “Podkoren”.
Magic track for the Norwegian who, however, already in the Garmisch slalom had shown that he had finally found that balance to play every race in the technical disciplines. Triumph number 27 in the World Cup, the seventh among the wide doors where he is the best specialist in the history of his country, as Kjetil Andre Aamodt has collected 6 in his career. "Of course, I like Kranjska Gora, but when you feel good on skis it works a little everywhere - explained HK94 candidly to the FIS microphones in the post race - Even with different trackings, which maybe try to put you in difficulty, I was able to adapt well. The finals? I know Méribel (referring to the 2015 finals, ed), we will see a bit 'what will come out of it ”.
The second place today is the best result achieved in CdM by Stefan Brennsteiner. “The second heat was a ... unbridled race - his words to oesv.at - I'm very happy, obviously I would have liked to win considering the gaps, it was still possible after the mistake of the first descent. I don't want to think about it, 2nd place is fine ”.
Marco Odermatt makes the best of a bad situation, given that a few too many smudges in the final of the 2nd heat cost him the seasonal five in giant, but the absolute World Cup is practically done, with 329 lengths of margin against Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, naturally without chances, or almost, to score points in the slalom of the finals.
