The Norwegian was perfect in all the batteries, never going to win without spending too much and being able to afford to get up in the final meters. Even the final was equally without history, with opponents who have had to divide the remaining places on the podium.
According to Eirik Brandsdal he finished, managing to blow the place of honor at the third Josef Wenzl, which can, however, console themselves for the conquest of the red bib as the first in the cup against our specialty Federico Pellegrino. Complete the fourth great performance Norwegian Paal Golberg, by a whisker in front of Teodor Peterson fifth. Sixth, partly because of a fall, now is the Swiss Jovian Hediger.
As for Italians, as well as to appreciate signs of recovery by David Hofer, eliminated in the semifinals, there's bitterness for Federico Pellegrino who was unable to take advantage of the absence of the best sprinters Russians to defend the primacy of cup of specialty.
Pellegrino unlucky to break a stick uphill in his quarter-final, which then attempted to reassemble without being able to get past the third place. It should however be noted that, in the already very short loop of Dobbiaco, you do not understand how in this area was not any Italian technician to give support to the blues, with Pilgrim after a few seconds of hesitation had to settle for a stick to If, moreover, not her size.
