The total Hirscher triumph in Kranjska Gora – Eisath strong

You can feel about Marcel Hirscher however you want. The fact is that the Austrian is one of the greatest skiers of all time - perhaps even the greatest. In Kranjska Gora he won his sixth overall World Cup victory in a row and also won the small crystal ball for giant slalom.

Hirscher defies the adverse conditions How strong Hirscher is at the moment became clear once again in the second round of Kranjska Gora. Persistent clouds of fog in the upper part of the route meant that the race had to be interrupted again and again. The top 8 runners in particular found conditions bordering on regularity. While athletes like Henrik Kristoffersen (2nd after the first run), Justin Murisier (3rd) and Victor Muffat-Jeandet (4th) fell far behind in the second run, Hirscher kept his perspective. In the end, he saved 1,69 hundredths of the 46 second lead over the interim leader Leif Kristian Haugen and thus made the total triumph perfect. The Swede Matts Olsson came third.

In the overall standings, the Austrian holds a 504-point lead over Kjetil Jansrud with five races to go and can no longer be caught mathematically. In the giant slalom rankings, Hirscher extended his lead over Alexis Pinturault, who was eliminated in the first round in Kranjska Gora, to 194 points and has also already secured the ball.

Eisath is convincing From a South Tyrolean perspective, Florian Eisath was convincing: After eleventh place in the first run, he gained four positions in his second run despite poor visibility and ended up in seventh place in the final ranking. Manfred Mölgg did not make it to the finish line after finishing 12th in the first round. Riccardo Tonetti (31st) and Simon Maurberger (34th) did not qualify for the second round, Alex Zingerle was eliminated in the first run. Two South Tyroleans, Eisath and Mölgg, qualified for the giant slalom final in Aspen.
