Hirscher remains the king of Gran Risa

It's impressive: Since 2013, the winner of the giant slalom in Alta Badia has always been called Marcel Hirscher. The Austrian celebrated his 61st World Cup victory in Val Badia in an inimitable style. Hirscher laid the foundation for victory in the first run, and in the second run he showed no weaknesses and ultimately won with a lead of 2,53 seconds (there has never been such a lead in Alta Badia) over Thomas Fanara. The Frenchman was only in 14th place at halftime – unbelievable!

At the finish, Hirscher celebrates his huge lead - which also makes the cameraman happy.

A Frenchman also came third. Alexis Pinturault was three hundredths faster than the North Tyrolean Manuel Feller, who gave up a possible podium finish on the finish slope. The race came to a bitter end for the surprise man of the first round. Marco Odermatt, junior world champion from Switzerland, was eliminated in third place in the final round after an inside ski error. The Swede Matts Olsson also fell from second to fifth place. De Aliprandini makes up 21 places Luca De Aliprandini averted a total debacle for the “Azzurri”. The Nonstaler, who finished 28th in the first run, had a perfect second run (clearly the best running time) and moved up place by place. So we ended up in the top 10 in 7th place. Manfred Mölgg was the only South Tyrolean to make it into the second run.

Manfred Mölgg, who was ill in the days before the race, fell back a few places in the second round. The man from Enneberg finished the giant slalom in 21st place. All the other “Azzurri” had already dropped out in the first run or had not qualified for the final round – including the South Tyroleans Simon Maurberger, Riccardo Tonetti and Alex Hofer.
