Alpine Skiingmen's world cup
The Beaver Creek giant has shortened, as expected, a general classification that, at the male level, had never been so indecipherable. Even if the Norwegian could take off in Val d''Isère ...

A World Cup overall with three sprinters in front, but that will certainly change face from the next weekend of technical races in Val d''Isère.
And it is Henrik Kristoffersen, second in the giant of Beaver Creek after winning in slalom at Levi, the main candidate to inherit the throne currently occupied by Matthias Mayer, still leader of the general with some points picked up again among the wide doors. The Carinthian always precedes Kriechmayr and "Domme" Paris, but the Norwegian is -40 from the primacy and above all already in front of Odermatt and Pinturault, the real disappointed of the giant in Colorado.
The Swiss, among other things, lost the first sub-group of merit by coming out in the 1st round, to the advantage of Nestvold-Haugen who, next Saturday on the Face de Bellevarde, will therefore start among the first 7: from a WCSL perspective , little change for the Azzurri with De Aliprandini stable in second group with the 15th place (13th without Hirscher and Fanara), while Moelgg loses something and goes down to 25th, with Tonetti 29th and dangerously close to the possible exit from 30 which would be very heavy for the bolzanino.
As for the specialty ranking after two races, the news is another first time for Tommy Ford, that is the red bib he had never worn in his long career; behind him are all there, with constant Faivre and Kranjec between Soelden and Beaver Creek, but obviously Pinturault and Kristoffersen who, in the long run, should emerge.
