Not only Santa Caterina Valfurva and the two descents of the Italian Absolute Championships. Today's national competitions around Europe gave important results, as high-level technical competitions were staged between Austria, Switzerland, France and Germany. In Gunglezer, it is the vice world slalom champion, Adrian Pertl, to conquer the Austrian alpine combined title with a great comeback from 27th position, to take the gold with only 9 cents of margin on Pirmin Hacker and 10 on Michael Matt, who was not enough with a margin of 3 tenths on his teammate, accumulated after the speed test. Slalom day at the French championships, with the big greeting to Julien Lizeroux and Jean-Baptiste Grange, who played their last official race after having already said goodbye in the World Cup; a real party in Les Gets for the two veterans who leave the baton to Clément Noel, the present and the future that was beaten, however, by companion and friend Victor Muffat-Jeandet, already ahead of 11 cents after the 1st heat and in the end winning for 32 cents on the native Vosges sample. Bronze medal, two seconds behind, for Leo Anguenot in a race that did not see Alexis Pinturault as protagonist, however present at the Les Gets parterre. Sixth national title among the tight posts for Nastasia Noens, who had no rivals in the women's race, triumphing with a 1 "50 margin over the young Caitlin McFarlane (preceded in the FIS slalom by the Belgian Vanreusel) and 1" 67 Perrine Clair, who concluded ex aequo with the blue Lucrezia Lorenzi, 4th in the overall standings with Martina Perruchon eighth. Double slalom also in Switzerland: in Zinal here is the second career red-cross title for Ramon Zenhaeusern, who makes the difference in the 2nd heat and rules of 94 cents Joel Luetolf and 1 ”43 Marc Rochat. Among the women, everything was easy for Melanie Meillard, who made a void in the first and increased again in the second, even closing with 3 "54 on Valentine Macheret and 3" 76 against Selina Gadient, bronze medal. Finally, the male giant in Germany (he raced in Berchtesgaden) with surprise, as Frederik Norys rejoices in front of Jonas Stockinger (17 cents ahead), with Stefan Luitz only third at almost half a second and Alexander Schmid even down from the podium, fourth . The women's slalom also saw ... the Italian protagonists: at the FIS race level, in fact, Vivien Insam took home the success (with Tschurtschenthaler ninth and Unterholzner eleventh), who beat Emma Aicher by 18 cents, barely 18 years new German champion (but it is not a surprise, considering some amazing heats in the European Cup) with Lena Duerr mocked, second at 3 cents and ahead of Andrea Filser, bronze medal.
