4 South Tyroleans are hunting for points in Zagreb

No less than 6 slalom runs await the world's best slalom specialists in the next 23 days. One thing is clear: if you want to be at the forefront of the fight for the little crystal ball at the end of the season, you have to deliver consistently in January. After Marcel Hirscher, the dominator of the past few years, announced his retirement in the summer, this year's Slalom World Cup is more exciting and balanced than it has been for a long time.

There is no clear favorite to win in Zagreb either. Every runner in the top group has the potential to compete for first place. In the first two slalom runs of the season, the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen and the Frenchman Alexis Pinturault prevailed - it is quite possible that a third winning face will also be seen in the third slalom of the winter. In any case, the list of potential contenders for victory is long and guarantees a very interesting race.

Local slalom aces want to surprise A South Tyrolean quartet will also be taking part in the Croatian capital. The number 1 is still veteran Manfred Mölgg, who at 37 years is still one of the best slalom specialists in the world. The Enneberger, who celebrated his last victory in the World Cup three years ago in Zagreb, was ranked in the top 3 in both goal runs this year.

In addition to Mölgg, youngster Alex Vinatzer can also be expected to do a lot. The 20-year-old from Ladin finished 12th in the first slalom in Levi this winter, but remained without points in Val d'Isere after a retirement. Now the reigning slalom junior world champion wants to get back into the points at Bärenberg. The same applies to Simon Maurberger from Ahrntal and Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano - while Maurberger was unlucky in the slalom this year, Tonetti is aiming for the next top 1 placement after 30rd place in Val d'Isere.

The first round in Zagreb begins at 1:14.15 p.m., the decision will take place at 17.40:XNUMX p.m. Men's slalom in Zagreb - the starting numbers of the Italians 9 Manfred Mölgg 12 Stefano Gross 18 Giuliano Razzoli 26 Alex Vinatzer 34 Simon Maurberger 38 Tommaso Sala 51 Riccardo Tonetti
