Tonetti misses the huge coup – downhill skiers have no chance

Somehow gratifying, somehow bitter: Riccardo Tonetti achieved his best career result ever in the combination of Åre on Monday. However, in fourth place he missed the bronze medal by just 21 hundredths of a second. The man from Bolzano was in 16th place after the first round, the downhill run. The technology specialist then put in a solid run in the slalom, but lost a few important hundredths of a second in the upper part of the route, which ultimately cost him third place: In the end, Tonetti had to be content with “Blech”.

Dominik Paris and Christof Innerhofer also had medal hopes after the descent: the Ultner Super-G world champion led the field, Gaiser was in fourth place. But in the slalom it became clear early on that the downhill skiers had a difficult time. This was also confirmed by the performance of the two South Tyroleans: Paris lost a total of three seconds and came ninth, Innerhofer was eliminated.

The new world champion is Alexis Pinturault. The combination specialist, who is struggling with knee problems, got along best on the slalom course set out by his coach and thus took the crown: Although he has already celebrated seven victories in this discipline in the World Cup, just one was enough World Cup never for the podium. Now the 27-year-old won the gold medal.

Silver went to the Slovenian Stefan Hadalin, who was in 30th place after the downhill and gained an incredible 28 places in the slalom. Meanwhile, the Austrian Marco Schwarz took bronze.
