A Russian shines in the night sky of Schladming - Thaler 13.

Khoroshilov was in a class of his own on the Planai on Tuesday evening. After the first round he was already in the lead by 0,79 seconds. In the end he prevailed with a lead of 1,44 seconds over “Azzurro” Stefano Gross, who improved to second place in the decision. The 30-year-old Russian, who has only been on the World Cup podium once (third in the slalom in Are in December 2014), but has impressed with his consistency this season and has never been ranked lower than tenth, celebrated his first World Cup victory in his more than 1981 years ten year career. It was also the first success for Russia since 1,51, when Alexander Shirov secured the only victory for the then USSR. Schladming is obviously ideal for a debut victory, as Henrik Kristoffersen already achieved his first World Cup victory here last year. The German Felix Neureuther came third on Tuesday (+XNUMX).

Second best Schladming result for Thaler Meanwhile, Patrick Thaler from Sarner was once again denied a place in the top ten. The local slalom specialist was able to maintain his 13th place from the first run and finished the race 2,61 seconds behind winner Khoroshilov. After finishing seventh in 2006, he achieved his second-best result at the classic in Austria.

Mölgg should have a World Cup ticket in his pocket Manfred Mölgg, on the other hand, lost eight places. The man from Enneberg, who had already achieved eight top ten results in Schladming and climbed onto the podium twice in 2004 (2nd) and 2008 (3rd), had to settle for 23rd place in the end (+3,70). . Nevertheless, the Val Badia native, who only returned to the World Cup at the beginning of the year due to his injury, should now have the World Cup ticket in his pocket as he performed significantly better than his teammate Cristian Deville (38th) today. However, the Italian winter sports association FISI does not want to announce the final list of called-up athletes until Wednesday.

Riccardo Tonetti misses qualification for the second round For Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano, however, it was the end of the game in the first round. He missed qualifying for the decision in 36th place by just under 16 hundredths of a second.
