The finishing is now complete, on the eve of the third seasonal slalom, but also the first of the six events scheduled in January for boys.
On Sunday in Zagreb a total battle is shaping up, with the challenge between Henrik Kristoffersen and Alexis Pinturault thinking of the general World Cup, but at least ten athletes who could play for the podium and even the victory. The Norwegian has never loved this track (and closed only 5th in 2019), on which he was unable to win as he did practically in all the fixed stages of the circuit; the transalpine, however, last year closed in 2nd place, beaten only by Marcel Hirscher, launching towards a January at high altitude in the slalom, for a newfound feeling that led him then this season to win, almost 6 years after the last time in the specialty, in the race of 15 December last Val d''Isère.
Pinturault who trained on the snows of "home" in Reiteralm, no longer complaining of pain in the adductor of the left thigh which had been injured in the parallel giant in Alta Badia. The success achieved in the combined Bormio has earned Kristoffersen a new overtaking, with the aim of jumping to the top of the general classification (which sees Kilde and Paris in front of the 28 year old from Courchevel) between tomorrow's race and Wednesday's slalom in Campiglio, although then there will be two other possibilities in the poker of technical competitions that opens 2020, with giant and slalom in that of Adelboden.
Reiteralm who also saw Ryding and Khoroshilov at work, while the Germans had chosen the snows of the Val di Fassa in recent days for the training to approach the Croatian stage, with Austria's newfound Feller in Lienz, while the blues concluded in the morning the three-day training session in Ravascletto, and then moving quickly towards Zagreb.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
