Halftime in Beaver Creek: Two South Tyroleans in the top ten

Mölgg put in a strong first run, especially in the lower part of the route. The man from Enneberg is 59 hundredths behind the leader Stefan Luitz. Behind the German are the two long-term rivals Marcel Hirscher (+0,15 seconds) and Henrik Kristoffersen (+0,17 seconds) in second and third place.

Luitz showed a strong sign of life in his comeback race after a torn cruciate ligament. The 26-year-old has not yet been able to celebrate a World Cup victory. Reason for hope: His coach Bernd Brunner will take part in the second round.

Riccardo Tonetti also had a strong first round. The man from Bolzano finished tenth with start number 20. His best World Cup result to date in giant slalom was eighth place, on the same course in Beaver Creek.

Alex Hofer from Castelrotto was unable to qualify for the second round with 50th place. Mölgg and Tonetti are the only “Azzurri” still in the final.

The second round begins at 20.45:XNUMX p.m.
