Vinatzer and a second heat of suffering: "I have to train in these conditions, but it's a great experience"

The man from Val Gardena at the foot of the world podium in Cortina, but with few regrets: "The gap from the podium is large, I knew I would have had difficulty on the salt".

A fourth place that hurts because we are in a World Cup and the second time trial of the first heat, but also what happened to many big names in the second, had made us believe in the medal. Alex Vinatzer suffered a lot in the decisive round of the Cortina slalom, always in defense and at the end at 1 ”20 from Sebastian Foss-Solevaag's gold, but very far (over 7 tenths) also from Kristoffersen's bronze. Therefore, the regrets are relative, but as the 21-year-old from Gardena explained immediately after the race to Rai Sport microphones, “I expected to suffer in this heat, because I have to train a lot on the salt to adapt to these conditions.
