Marcel Hirscher out in the first round of the Olympic slalom, commands Henrik Kristoffersen

What nobody expected was in the first run of the Yongpyong men's Olympic slalom happened: Marcel Hirscher did not make it to the finish line.

It was two years since the Austrian Martian was not mistaken among the narrow gates, coincidentally in Asia, on the Japanese snows of Naeba, today he has never found the right rhythm on a very easy snow, ending up in the upper part. He took advantage of Henrik Kristoffersen who closed the first half of the race with 21 cents ahead of the Swedish André Myhrer, third at 62 cents with the number 16 the French Victor Muffat-Jeandet, fourth only 6 cents the best of the Azzurri, the eternal Manfred Moelgg, fifth the Norwegian Sebastian Foss Solevåg, sixth and seventh the French Alexis Pinturault and Clément Noël, this last reality more and more concrete of the narrow doors. Eighth and eleventh Austrians Marco Schwarz and Michael Matt, the best of a Wunderteam beheaded by their leader, among them the best Swiss, respectively ninth and eleventh Ramon Zenhäusern and Daniel Yule, and the Swedish Kristoffer Jakobsen, tenth, sixteenth and nineteenth two of the day's disappointments, the Austrian Manuel Feller and the Swedish Matthias Hargin. We will update you on the final placings of Riccardo Tonetti and Alex Vinatzer.
