He returned to the World Cup leader, with three consecutive podiums from Wednesday in Campiglio to the weekend in Adelboden, but without victories Henrik Kristoffersen was far from satisfied after the slalom on Chuenisbargli.
To worry the Norwegian, who does not feel at the performance level of the previous seasons (when chasing Marcel Hirscher sensationally raised the bar starting from the giant), is a state of physical fatigue that led him to affirm, Sunday afternoon , to "wait for some exams that I will do on Tuesday, given that from Zagreb they have been difficult days", in addition to a choice problem related to materials.
Even between the first and second heats of yesterday's slalom, Kristoffersen changed skis and boots, but did not feel the ideal sensations while still coming up to touch the victory: “The details make a huge difference in the field of materials, very little is needed because you change everything. We have to find the right setup. "
Marco Schwarz was very happy, and on Sunday he found the podium, almost eleven months after the world slalom that saw him complete an Austrian triumph with Hirscher and Matt, on the snows of Are. A few days later, Bansko's serious injury: "This third place is worth more than a medal - said the Carinthian in the post Adelboden - I have to thank all those who have helped me in this long period, I'm still in a process to return 100%, but for me this race is like a liberation. "
The world slalom, so balanced and uncertain, has certainly found a great protagonist.
