At halftime: Pinturault drives away from the competition

Pinturault, who has yet to win a giant slalom this season, performed a dream run in the first run. The Frenchman pushed hard on the accelerator in fantastic weather and fantastic piste conditions. In second place is Matts Olsson from Sweden, who is already 0,63 seconds behind Pinturault. Third is the Swiss youngster Marco Odermatt (+0,88 seconds). The 21-year-old recently achieved his first podium in the World Cup at the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora.

De Aliprandini puts an exclamation mark The best “Azzurro” after the first round is Luca De Aliprandini from Nonsberg in fifth place. The best result of the season so far for the Nonsberger was seventh place in Alta Badia. The two long-term rivals Marcel Hirscher and Henrik Kristoffersen did not have an ideal run and are in seventh and ninth place. Hirscher in particular, who was unable to win the last five races in the World Cup, seems a bit tired at the end of the season.

Manfred Mölgg slipped on the steep slope entrance - after an inside ski error - and did not make it to the finish. Christof Innerhofer, who ran his last World Cup giant slalom exactly six years ago in Lenzerheide, is in 20th place after the first round. As a reminder: “only” the first 15 runners score points in the World Cup final.
