A cancellation that has once again changed the balance of the men's World Cup, with only two races left available and all for Kilde, Pinturault and Kristoffersen, at this point still in the running, which will be staged (crossing the fingers that do not there are problems in this sense) next weekend in Kranjska Gora with giant and final slalom.
AAK commands with 54 points on the transalpine and 161 on the compatriot, but it is clear that the cancellation of the super-g of Kvitfjell involves damage for the leader, among the great favorites of today's race. With the usual honesty, Kilde said he was disappointed, but "certainly not surprised by the decision, because today it was too complicated to run in these conditions".
And speaking to Ski Chrono colleagues, Alexis Pinturault was equally clear: “This cancellation is clearly positive for me, since Kilde was a favorite. However, he remains the leader and anything can happen in Kranjska Gora â€.
Who celebrates for a season ended with the trophy of dreams is Mauro Caviezel, who brought home his first specialty cup with three podiums, an extraordinary constancy (never out of 5) and the only small regret of never having succeeded to win, reaching ten top 3 in career without climbing on the top step of the podium. “Of course, I would have liked to have done it, but this cup pays for everything. Continuity was crucial, for me it was a very good season from this point of view ".
And Switzerland, with many crystal balls (Feuz, Meillard and Corinne Suter's brace), toasts a record year with Austria now dethroned in the ranking by nations.
