Marco Schwarz in the lead after the slalom of the combined Wengen

The Austrian Marco Schwarz signed the best time in the slalom valid for the combined Wengen.

The twenty-three of Carinthia, one of the few pure slalomists at the start, has put in line all those disputing a clean run but without taking particular risks. Schwarz in fact has closed the command with a rather limited margin on the main contenders, including the highly favored Alexis Pinturault who is in second place just 20 cents from the summit. The Frenchman also confirmed on this occasion that he had found the right drivers in the slalom, finding himself now in the ideal situation to return to success after more than two years since the last World Cup triumph. Third position for another transalpine, Muffat-Jeandet detached of 87 cents from Schwarz, fourth Ligety to 1 "20, fifth the Russian Trikhichev, sixth position to 1" 60 for the Swiss Mauro Caviezel who turned out to be the best of pure downhill skiers to the other sprinter Mermillod Blondin. These two seem to be the two main suspects to recover some position during the descent. For the blue colors, the best was Riccardo Tonetti ninth to 1 "82 from the summit, Thirteenth Innerhofer, has instead driven Dominik Paris. The descent run will be held starting at 14.00 weather permitting.

Curling: seconda giornata di partite con la formula knock-out nell'evento canadese, dove il Team capitanato dallo storico skip di Cembra prosegue il cammino immacolato (che impresa nel duello con Dunstone) per accedere alla fase finale. Primo ko per Spiller, mentre la formazione guidata da Alberto Zisa domina contro Thompson-Brown. Nel torneo femminile, una vittoria con Rozon e poi il 4-6 a favore di Middaugh nel bilancio delle cortinesi.
