Baumann is the big hunted in the combined slalom - Paris 8.

The 31-year-old Tyrolean drove flawlessly and took 12 hundredths off second-placed Frenchman Adrien Theaux. Baumann is now within reach of his second World Championship combined medal, after bronze in Schladming in 2013. Behind speed specialist Theaux, the surprisingly strong newcomer Thomas Dreßen from Germany takes third place. Fifth-placed Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud, who took combined silver at the World Championships two years ago, also has a chance of winning a medal. Dominik Paris has to hope for a small miracle in the slalom. Although he hardly made any mistakes on the downhill slope, he lost valuable time with a cautious ride. As the best Azzurro, he took eighth place, almost seven tenths behind. "I just can't find a fast line here, I can't explain it myself. Now I'll throw everything into the balance because I have nothing left to lose in the slalom," promised Paris after the descent. Peter Fill is very disappointed For Peter Fill, the third World Cup appearance didn't go as planned either. The man from Castelrotto was traveling well for a long time, but he lost contact with the ground on the rocks, couldn't hold on when driving diagonally and drove past the next gate. "Compared to the downhill run, the gates were slightly offset and the piste conditions were slightly different. It's a shame, because I had big plans for this combination," said Fill at the finish area. The third South Tyrolean in the group, slalom specialist Riccardo Tonetti, was also not satisfied with the first round: "I had imagined the descent differently. Unfortunately, I'm a long way behind, but I'll try to make up for it in the slalom." The man from Bolzano was 35th, more than 3 seconds slower than Baumann. The decision in the men's World Cup combined is scheduled for 13 p.m. Here you can follow the slalom in the live ticker.
