Alta Badia: Pinturault could land a historic victory

One of the favorites in the competition, which will also have its own World Cup classification for the first time this year, is certainly Alexis Pinturault. If he wins, the Frenchman would be the first ski racer to win at least one World Cup race in six different disciplines. The 28-year-old has already competed in giant slalom, slalom, super-G, combination and city events. In the women's category, US superstar Mikaela Shiffrin even achieved victories in seven disciplines (slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, combination, parallel slalom and city event).

Another big name in the ski circus who is still missing a win in the competition is Henrik Kristoffersen. The Norwegian, who won the classic giant slalom on the Gran Risa on Sunday, would like to follow up straight away. “I will definitely try my best. “I was second in the race before,” said the Norwegian, who was only beaten by Swede Matts Olsson in 2017.

5 South Tyroleans there The qualification, which will be held in two races, will take place on Monday afternoon (15.00 p.m.). The 32 participants are determined who will then compete in the final under floodlights. The South Tyroleans Simon Maurberger, Manfred Mölgg, Riccardo Tonetti, Hannes Zingerle and Alex Vinatzer will also compete in the qualification.

For the first time this season, a crystal ball will be awarded to the best parallel racer. However, only two competitions are scheduled. On February 9th, the World Cup decision will also be decided in a parallel giant slalom in Chamonix.
