Austrian triple lead in the slalom - South Tyroleans trailing behind

Giant slalom world champion Marcel Hirscher is in the lead after a dream run, while compatriot Marco Schwarz, in second place, has already lost 0,43 seconds. Michael Matt (+0,48) made ÖSV's triple lead perfect at halftime. The Norwegian top favorite Henrik Kristoffersen had to settle for sixth place, 0,65 seconds behind. As in the World Cup giant slalom, the gaps in the slalom are also small. Over ten runners are within a second of each other after run one. The 14th Stefano Gross is the best Italian, 0,97 seconds behind. The first run didn't go according to plan for the local starters: Manfred Mölgg didn't get past 17th place (+1,21 seconds) after a major mistake. Meanwhile, Patrick Thaler lost his shin guards and reached the finish line with his face distorted in pain. He placed beyond the top 30. "Of course it was a lot of pain, but that shouldn't be an excuse. It just wasn't a good run," said Thaler in a TV interview. In the second round, the South Tyrolean slalom runners will try to work their way forward. The decision in St. Moritz is scheduled for 13 p.m. Results of the Ski World Championships in St. Moritz (SUI): Slalom men, 1st run 1. Marcel Hirscher (AUT) 46,43 seconds 2.
