Ted Ligety: "I was lucky to go first in slalom"

Thank fisalpine.com report the statements of the three on the podium of the men's super combined World Cup in Wengen.

TED Ligety: "It 's nice to finally win a super combined. I had only done at major events, which is a nice thing to do, but it would be nice to win a race at the World Cup even before today. This win is a big confidence booster and makes me feel really good because January was a difficult month for me so far so it is nice to have changed course. '' It was tough today. C'' was a lot of snow, but they set up the track and was not the most beautiful snow for downhill skiing, but I feel lucky to have had good visibility. Down if I do not feel confident enough to attack me let go slowly so I can see where I'm going. I had the good fortune this morning to go first because I had a track superliscia and that helped me to relax and stay far enough ahead to downhill despite not having done a fantastic race. Instead, I made a big downhill and I'm lucky to have beaten Alexis on this slope because it is one of the best skiers we are. " ALEXIS Pinturault: "This is a win is a second lost is fantastic. This race is not like a giant or a slalom, downhill is a specific combined slalom difficult, so if you are stronger in slalom as me, you have to stick to it all. downhill Then I just tried to avoid making mistakes and see where it would take me. Eventually Ligety was just too strong for me downhill. Tried to make a good descent, was a beautiful race for me, maybe on some stretches I could be faster but they are second and I'm really happy about that. Now I have to concentrate on the slalom, I know that I can do well here. " Natko Zrncic-DIM: "This result is great. I'm glad I did a great slalom and then the descent was good, I'm glad to be back on the podium. '' It's different when you can ski here in a normal descent, which is two and half minutes long, compared to this, which is almost a minute shorter. This immediately changes things. I skied better today and I am very satisfied. Secretly I was hoping to do well but I knew that, even after the slalom, downhill that there were many strong and that nothing good could happen on the way down, but I gave it all and I did it! "
