And the first of the two slaloms in the program (the second one will take place in the Italian night between Sunday and Monday), in particular for the men's sector, has seen so much quality with World Cup athletes taking part in the trials that took place in Coronet Peak.
Let's start with the girls and the success of the British Alex Tilley, who defeated the competition with an important margin (93 cents) on the American Storm Klomhaus, excellent even among the rapid gates after the victories in giant. Third, another athlete already in the lap of the maximum circuit, the Swiss Carole Bissig detached by 1 "58, while Greta Lattuada concluded 12th (almost 8 seconds behind), after the 13th placement in the giant 24 hours before, with the other blue Ottavia Barra Caracciolo left the scene in the 1st round.
Among men, debut with victory for the Swiss Marc Rochat, one of the most anticipated talents in the Swiss scene and not only, but a very high level race with many athletes in very few tenths and the Austrian Johannes Strolz second, only 12 cents. In 3rd place, two hundredths from the place of honor, a resounding Armand Marchant: the Belgian class '97 in fact started with bib 43 (the first two with 4 and 6) and recovered 1 "40 to both rivals in the 2nd round, even touching another hurray after having restarted his "second career" after the injury.
In the 4th and 5th place two Norwegians: the first is '94 Roeisland, the second is much better known as we talk about Sebastian Foss-Solevaag. First and only blue at the finish line an excellent Stefano Baruffaldi, 9th at 73 cents from the winner, with Lorenzo Thomas Bini out in the 2nd run and Pietro Franceschetti left the scene in the first. Noteworthy is also the tenth place of Noel Von Gruenigen, son of the great Mike and already seen at the beginning in CdM, the 12th of Adam Zampa, the 14th of Sam Maes, winner in the previous giant, in addition to the first seasonal approaches of the young Norwegians expected to gap, like Timon Haugan (19th) and Lucas Braathen, ruler in the European Cup last season and, in a specialty where he can and must still grow (we are talking about a 2000 class), 27th at the finish line.
