We have not checked if it has ever happened in the other specialties of alpine skiing in slalom but had never happened in the World Cup either between men or between women an interpreter of the narrow doors had finished second beaten ten times by the same opponent.

This incredible statistic regards Marcel Hirscher and is even more incredible for two facts: that the gentleman in question of Cup slalom has won 20 and because the one who beat him ten times, Henrik Kristoffersen, won for hours only other three slalom. In practice, the Austrian ruler of the White Circus is the favorite victim of the Norwegian, his bete noire. If you do not believe here you are all the slalom where Kristoffersen beat Hirscher.

He had never seen anything like it in slalom. In the past in the men's Ingemar Stenmark he finished second seven times behind Phil Mahre and it is curious that two of the three strongest slalom skiers of all time have found their way to their nemesis. Felix Neureuther instead it finished behind Hirscher six times and four of the ten occasions when Kristoffersen beat Marcel has occupied the lowest rung of the podium.
Among women happened on three occasions that an athlete has been beaten seven times by the same opponent: Pernilla Wiberg by Vreni Schneider, Frida Hansdotter by Mikaela Shiffrin and Veronika Velez-Zuzulová as ... Mikaela Shiffrin! Fantastic duel between Kostelić Janica and Anja Pärson, the Croatian beat five times the Swedish which has prevailed over rival on six occasions.
Returning Kristoffersen and Hirscher, to tell the truth it must be said that Marcel has managed a couple of times to give tit for tat to Henrik: January 6, 2016 in Santa Caterina Valfurva when overrunning for 21 cents, and March 6, 2016 in Kranjska Gora when prevailed for 81 cents. The two, with very few exceptions, are showing an embarrassing superiority in a specialty by the way where is the absolute highest competition in alpine skiing.
Now these two aliens promise to give an incredible show also next Sunday in Kitzbühel: the favor Kristoffersen series will stretch or Hirscher, who is clearly impatient for missed both victories in both giant slalom, will finally get the better
