Gold follows silver: Franzoni comes out on top

In contrast to the Super-G, where Franzoni was the overwhelming favorite, a number of athletes in the giant slalom had serious gold ambitions. This became clear in the first (extremely strange) run on exactly the same track on which the World Cup greats raced last week. Because the talented people threw everything into the balance and risked a lot. As a result, favorites like Filippo Della Vite (Italy), Alexander Steen Olsen (Norway) and Thomas Lardon (France) were eliminated on the way to a confident best time. Franzoni, on the other hand, knew how to control his temper. He made no obvious mistakes, but was far behind the athletes mentioned above. However, because they were eliminated, the gap to half-time leader Kaspar Kindem was only four tenths of a second. Lukas Feurstein from Austria was lurking behind the Norwegian (+0,07). Furious run In the second round, the 19-year-old from Manerba del Garda released the handbrake, set the fastest time and replaced Simon Luca Wolf at the top. Because of his mother's origins, the Vinschger competes for the German Ski Association and ultimately narrowly missed out on a medal. Because both Feurstein and Kindem showed no nerves. Thanks to a fabulous ride, the Austrian won gold, while the Norwegian slipped behind Franzoni but confidently secured the bronze medal. The men's slalom will take place in Bansko on Friday before the women start the title fights. The result: Pos Name Country Time 1. Luke Feuerstein Austria 1.45,33 Minutes 2.
