For the slalom cup 5 athletes running (with the lowest score in the last 30 years), but Kristoffersen "sees" the trio

The rankings of the men's World Cup after the Flachau slalom: at the finals in Courchevel-Méribel, the Norwegian will defend almost 50 points over Braathen, no one was able to take advantage of his mistake yesterday. In WCSL, McGrath breaks into the second sub-group closed by Vinatzer and Razzoli (who will remain in the 15 at the end of the season). For the general, Odermatt ready to close the accounts in Kranjska Gora.

The night in Flachau did not change the fate of the CdM general, as none of the top four in the ranking slalom and Marco Odermatt is ready to seal his first crystal ball with the two giants of Kranjska Gora, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday , to escape to over 300 points of margin against Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. On the other hand, the situation linked to the slalom classification remains very open, even if the very serious mistake made in the final of the first heat yesterday, did not affect the advantage of Henrik Kristoffersen over his pursuers: with only 15 points collected yesterday by the Norwegian champion, a figure it is already certain with an early race. That of this year will be the cup of this discipline awarded with the lowest score ever: in fact, since 1990/1991 in which Marc Girardelli imposed himself when the reject mechanism was still in force (therefore not comparable), 500 points have been exceeded in each year, with the exception of 2010/2011 with Ivica Kostelic who won the crystal ball in slalom with 478 points obtained in 11 races, against 10 this year. Kristoffersen is at 371 and will play in Courchevel-Méribel with compatriot Braathen, 48 points behind, Linus Strasser who pays 64 late, Manuel Feller at -70 and Daniel Yule with a disadvantage of 88 points. In the slalom WCSL, Yule himself returned to the top 7 taking out Dave Ryding, who came out yesterday in the 2nd heat, while Atle Lie McGrath conquers for the first time the second sub-group (to the detriment of Ramon Zenhaeusern) in which they are, in 13th and 14th position, Giuliano Razzoli and Alex Vinatzer. In the finals, Alexis Pinturault will take a big risk, who could give his place in the top 15 to another blue, Tommaso Sala, who will only need a result that is not too lower than that of the French to restart in 2022/23 from a situation that could change many things for the Brianza area. Final chapter: for the top 25 that entitles you to the last race of the season, there are of course the top 3 Azzurri, Razzoli, Vinatzer and Sala, with the battle for the last passes won by Salarich, 23rd, and by the trio formed by Gstrein, Winters and Popov, ex aequo with 97 points and therefore we will have 26 athletes enrolled in the challenge between the close posts on March 20, in addition to the world champion jr Alexander Steen Olsen.
