Pinturault has it in his hands, but a Canadian is leading

When everyone was already expecting a Pinturault victory in the Super-G round, the Canadian once again caused a murmur to go through the small audience. With an advantage of 8 hundredths, he moved ahead of the top favorite Pinturault. Whether Crawford is good for a medal will be shown in the slalom, because the Canadian is usually not a technician.

As we all know, Pinturault is – he is still the hottest contender for gold. But his competition also finished well. Above all, the ski racers from Austria and Switzerland really gave Pinturault a run for his money in the Super-G. Slalom specialist Marco Schwarz (AUT) took 5th place after a convincing performance in the speed race. The same applies to the Swiss Loic Meillard (6th) and Luca Aerni (7th), who are also at home in the slalom.

Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano is still good for precious metal, but he has to put in a fantastic run in the slalom. He is currently 61 hundredths behind Pinturault and is in 10th place. Christof Innerhofer (Gais) was unable to attack in the Super-G and is behind. The third Azzurro in the group, Giovanni Franzoni, was convincing and will end up in the top 20.

Kriechmayr and Mayer at the front There are two Austrians in third and fourth place. Double world champion Vincent Kriechmayr is in third place, followed by Matthias Mayer. Despite the good interim placement, winning a medal between the two would be a sensation, as they never do slaloms in the World Cup.

The women's combination will be decided in Cortina at 14.10:15.20 p.m., followed by the men's slalom round at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. James Crwaford can open this as the current leader. With the SportNews -Live ticker means you won't miss any medal decisions.
