It all happens in the slalom of the European Cup in Oberjoch, with the top three of the standings at the end of the opening heat ending out, with a large advantage in their pocket, effectively delivering the success to Jonathan Nordbotten.
Fresh from a really difficult period in the World Cup, the Norwegian veteran returns to exult in the continental circuit, with his third victory coming almost two years after the last of Kranjska Gora. With Hirschbuehl first, then the French Letitre and the British Billy Major, in the lead after the first heat, who do not finish, here is the American Jett Seymour again on the podium, second only 9 cents from Nordbotten.
Third the Swiss Rochat (+ 0 ”32), at the foot of the podium instead the Germans Tremmel and Holzmann. On the day when Tommaso Sala comes out in the 1st heat, wasting a great chance, Italy is satisfied with Tobias Kastlunger's 9th place, 1 ”74 behind the winner, and Tommaso Saccardi's 24th.
