Who will be crowned giant slalom king?

Alexis Pinturault showed in the last two giant slaloms in Adelboden (beginning of January) that he is difficult to beat in this discipline. But the Swiss Marco Odermatt and the Croatian Filip Zubicic have also shown themselves several times this giant slalom season and can certainly compete for World Cup gold in Cortina. After two bronze medals (in the combination and in the parallel giant slalom), the Swiss Loic Meillard can do anything on Friday. It will be exciting to see how defending champion Henrik Kristoffersen performs. The Norwegian recently showed improving form at the slalom in Chamonix. If he shows this in the giant slalom, he will certainly have a say. Tonetti was the only South Tyrolean there From the Azzurri's point of view, their hopes rest on Luca De Aliprandini, who had an unfortunate exit in the quarter-finals of the parallel giant slalom on Tuesday. The Nonsberger can be expected to achieve a top result, although a medal would come as a surprise. From a South Tyrolean perspective, only all-rounder Riccardo Tonetti will be there. The man from Bolzano, who came 7th in the combination and was eliminated from qualifying in the parallel giant slalom, will catapult himself out of the starting line with number 3 in his 24rd World Championship race in Cortina. The first round begins on Friday at 1 a.m. The final will then take place from 10 p.m. With the SportNews -Live ticker means you won't miss anything and can follow the race in real time.
