Niels Hintermann wins the lottery combined in Wengen

We do not want anything away from Niels Hintermann, which moreover is a young Swiss, born in 1995, but the combined male of the Wengen World Cup was a horrible thing.

Before the slalom under a heavy snowfall with only six slalom skiers in the race, then the descent with little snow at the beginning but then it increased to the detriment of the intensity of the best slalom heats and favoring instead the first to fall. The podium is probably the most impronosticabile in the history of the World Cup: Hintermann dates back to the twenty-third to first, French Maxence Muzaton from twenty-eighth in the second, the ausriaco Frederic Berthold from twenty-second to third. All three were in the top ten to get off on the way down and all three of course the podium before today they had seen with binoculars. Soon further comment, although it is difficult to make on this absurd race, and we will also talk of the blue disaster.
