After the battle of today's women's competition, it's time for men's parallel on Sunday in Lech / Zuers, with 57 athletes competing for the only specialty event of the season.
The World Cup restarts after the victory of Marco Odermatt in Soelden and both the winner of Rettenbach will be missing, but also the second classified Roland Leitinger, who broke his crusader in the week training for this test, in addition to the other injured by luxury at home Austria, Marco Schwarz, and the various Meillard (world bronze in charge) and Murisier who have already left for the States as well as Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, while it was not a technical choice but dictated by physical problems that of the champion of specialties, Mathieu Faivre (sprained left ankle), and the Norwegian Rasmus Windingstad, who won the PGS of Alta Badia in 2019 and had to forfeit only a few hours ago due to a sore throat.
Two excellent specialists such as Alexander Schmid and Filip Zubcic will open the qualifying contest, decidedly tough given that only the best 16 times will go on (on the two runs), who in Cortina nearly won the world title, while the second series, remembering that the comparison direct will only count from the round of 16 onwards, will see the first two of the 2020 edition of this race side by side, Alexis Pinturault (who won) and Henrik Kristoffersen.
Five blues at the starting gate: Luca De Aliprandini will be the first to try to overcome the cut, given that we will see the Trentino (near the medals area at the Cortina World Cup, although never on the podium in this specialty) already in the fourth series with the bib. n ° 8, flanked by the Austrian Pertl. There are many hopes pinned on Alex Vinatzer, who can surprise even in this type of race and will have the number 29 (fifteenth series, in the previous one there will be Clément Noel), followed closely by Giovanni Borsotti and Simon Maurberger, who in Chamonix 2020 (the day of the Crusader injury for the South Tyrolean) they did very well in the qualifiers, and in the twentieth series by Hannes Zingerle.
It starts at 10.00 with the qualifications, from 16.00 the final phase, all live on Rai Sport and Eurosport channels (morning phase only on the Player).
