Two Austrians lead on RTL – Tonetti shows his claws

Marcel Hirscher once again lived up to his role as favorite and is at the head of the field after the first run. 26 hundredths of a second and one place behind was also an Austrian, Philipp Schörghofer. Alexis Pinturault, who has already won three giant slalom races this year and is the favorite alongside Hirscher, is in third place and therefore in waiting position. A total of four South Tyrolean athletes took part, with Riccardo Tonetti achieving the best result. He is only 0,85 seconds behind Hirscher and is in ninth place. For the man from Bolzano, whose season didn't always go as planned this year, it's an interim result that acts like balm on the soul. Florian Eisath is also on track with 11th place. Simon Maurberger took to the slopes with start number 35 and justified his subsequent nomination with a strong interim placement. He finished the first round in 19th place, one place ahead of Manfred Mölgg, who had some difficulties during his journey. The second round begins at 13 p.m. With SportNews and Stol you are always there via live ticker. FIS Ski World Championships in St. Moritz Men's giant slalom 1. Marcel Hirscher (AUT) 1.06,73 2.
