A battle between the holes on the Sljeme hill, which hosts the third men's slalom of the World Cup season, 72 hours after the women's slalom that opened the classic Zagreb event.
Classic, yes, but once again with the athletes who will have to extricate themselves in very difficult conditions, since compared to Sunday little has changed: little snow arrived, but the temperatures have risen immediately and the humidity is very high, so after a few numbers, the gaps will be important. Jacques Theolier, the Azzurri coach who will have his spearhead in Alex Vinatzer, tried to run the track a little: the Val Gardena, on the podium here a year ago and again, for the second time in his career, in the last slalom in Campiglio, he will have to invent a masterpiece with bib 11, to limit the damage from the very first.
Kristoffersen, who has never loved Zagreb, has a great chance with bib 1 to strengthen his leadership in the specialty, then we will see Foss-Solevaag and Schwarz (watch out for the Austrian on this track), before Pinturault, Yule, Zenhaeusern and Clément Noel, the outgoing champion of the Snow Queen Trophy, to close the first sub-group.
First heat starts at 12.15 (the second is scheduled at 15.30) and that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, with the FIS live timing service.

There are seven blues at the start. In addition to Vinatzer, Manfred Moelgg, the last blue winner in slalom in Zagreb, will come out of the gate with the 19th, four years ago, with the 25th here is Simon Maurberger to look for other points after Campiglio, from which Stefano Gross came out with a heavy zero, who will have to fight with the holes and the number 28.
A fight that Giuliano Razzoli, the only other Italian capable of taming the Crveni Spust in the 2010 edition (his first victory in the CdM, beating Moelgg himself), will live with the bib number 31 and certainly not ideal physical conditions, given that the Reggiano trained only yesterday after almost twenty days in the pits due to Covid. Finally Liberatore and Sala, who will have to try starting for 39 ° and 40 °.
