Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

Slalom of the finals: HK94 still in control of the specialty cup, but "Pinheiro" is unleashed and precedes him by 5 cents. Noel is fourth, Sala the best blue with just over 8 tenths of a second, while Vinatzer and Razzoli are above the second and far from the podium.

A beautiful generational comparison, with the "old lion" (even if we are talking about an athlete born in 1994 ...) in the midst of the twins-phenomena of 2000.
Henrik Kristoffersen is close to his third slalom World Cup, after the first heat of the decisive race in Méribel (at 13.30 the start of the 2nd heat on the planning of the Scandinavian team's technician), inserted in an all-Norwegian dream hat-trick, with Lucas Braathen in front of the “captain” for 5 cents (and “Pinheiro” is the first follower of HK94 in the standings, with 48 points to recover), while Atle Lie McGrath is third at + 0 ”21.
On the salt of the “Roc de Fer”, the adaptation of the norge was exceptional, so much so that only Clément Noel, who had a really good heat starting with number 12, is close enough even though he paid 45 cents from Braathen.
Meillard is already fifth at + 0 ”58, Ryding sixth at 76 and a great Tommaso Sala 7th at 83 cents, one better than Linus Strasser who would be in the running for the discipline cup.
Just below the second Kristoffer Jakobsen (9th at + 0 "97), above instead the duo Vinatzer-Feller, tenths ex aequo at 1" 03, while Giuliano Razzoli will restart from 14th position, paying 1 "23 from the head, to try at least another top ten, albeit in a snow condition that is anything but loved by the villager.
