The favorite leads in his home race

Odermatt has already won 3 of 4 World Cup giant slalom races this winter - in the other he took second place. He has also already won a Super-G this season. Things are looking good for the favorites on Saturday too. In the giant slalom classic on the Chuenisbärgli in Adelboden, the 2-year-old leads 24 seconds ahead of Frenchman Alexis Pinturault after the first run. The Croatian Filip Zubcic is in third place (+1). Riccardo Tonetti showed a decent performance. The man from Bolzano is in 11th place after the first run, close to the top 10. This also makes him the best Azzurro. Also taking part in the second run are Alex Hofer from Castelrotto in 2th place and Simon Maurberger from Ahrntal, who is in 24th place. The Val Gardena slalom specialist Alex Vinatzer, who started the race as the last runner with start number 27, has been eliminated. In any case, many athletes had a hard time on the technically difficult slope: There were a total of 62 failures in the first round. The race was overshadowed by a serious fall for Luca De Aliprandini from Nonsberg. He took a left swing too tight, threaded and fell. But the Trentino native was able to get up again on his own. The second round will be available in the SportNews live ticker from 2 p.m. Men's giant slalom in Adelboden, 1st round Pos Name Country Time 1. Marco Odermatt SUI 1.17,94 Min 2.
