An interesting start to the Australian New Zealand Cup, with good elements at the starting gate.
At Coronet Peak, in New Zealand, the second most important summer circuit began together with the South American Cup, with four slaloms played in just over 24 hours, waiting to move between Saturday and next Sunday on the commitments between super-g and giants (in the middle, a few days off and ... training).
It was a US domination between the tight posts, with the young stars and stripes (who have been training in the southern hemisphere for a couple of weeks already) who have monopolized the podium on both occasions. In the first slalom, success for Katie Hensien with 8 tenths of a margin on the very young Ava Sunshine and 1 ”69 against Zoe Zimmermann. The latter then won race-2, also taking advantage of Hensien's exit in the 2nd heat, beating Sunshine herself, still second, by 34 cents, and Allie Resnick by 1 ”07. Double 4th place for the young Swiss Baumann, while another now stable protagonist in CdM, albeit not at the top floors, like the hostess Piera Hudson, finished sixth twice.
The first men's slalom signaled a double USA, with the 2001 class Isaiah Nelson who preceded Benjamin Ritchie by 41 cents, while the Swiss Dionys Kippel, 3rd at + 0 "82, kept the much more down from the podium by 3 cents. compatriot expert Reto Schmidiger.
In the second round, which took place last night in Italy, Ritchie (former jr slalom champion) settled Schmidiher, second, for 58 cents with the young Norwegian Andreas Amdahl third at 2 "18, ahead of Nelson (4th) and Ian Gut, fifth. Tenth place for Vittorio De Pieri (who had come out in the first slalom), the only Italian in the race and already in the light in the first FIS races in Cardrona.
