Fischlerler and Coratti fail in the quarterfinals

The Sochi runner-up won the final against the South Korean surprise Lee Sangho, while bronze went to the Slovenian Zan Kosir, as was the case four years ago. Galmarini, meanwhile, celebrated Switzerland's third victory in this discipline since the Olympic premiere in 2002.

“Fish” makes the Olympic champion look old Co-favorite Vic Wild, Olympic athlete from Russia and double Olympic champion in 2014 in the parallel giant slalom and in the no longer Olympic parallel slalom, was eliminated in the first round - against a very strong Roland Fiwickeler.

The veteran from Villnöß had already made people sit up and take notice in the qualification with the second-best time on the red course. He then put Wild in his place, before the final stop was against the eventual Olympic champion. Galmarini prevailed in a thrilling finish.

Fischler's teammate Edwin Coratti also made it to the quarterfinals. After his opening win against the Austrian Alex Payer, he was narrowly defeated by Sylvain Dufour from France. Fischler and Coratti took seventh and eighth place in the final ranking. March fails in qualifying Aaron March, on the other hand, made a big statement by taking first place in the first qualifying run. However, he completely messed up his trip on the blue course and was passed on in 23rd place. For the 31-year-old, the Olympics ended with him being eliminated from qualifying. The results: Final
