Hirscher takes the record – no South Tyrolean in the top field

On a perfectly prepared Gran Risa, Marcel Hirscher showed that he is the best skier of today. The 28-year-old from Salzburg, who was already in the lead after the first round, showed no weakness and won the race with an incredible 1,70 seconds lead. He thus relegated his long-term Norwegian competitor Henrik Kristoffersen and the Slovenian Zan Kranjec, who was fourth in Alta Badia last year, to second and third place.

This makes Hirscher the first runner in World Cup history to win the race five times in a row in one place - chapeau!

Eisath as the 16th best South Tyrolean

There was little to gain for the South Tyroleans in Alta Badia. Florian Eisath did not perform optimally in the first run. The veteran from Eggen didn't get up to speed for a long time in the second round either. Only in the final part did Eisath show what he could do, but that wasn't enough. The fact that Eisath was still the best South Tyrolean in 16th place was also due to Manfred Mölgg and Riccardo Tonetti. While the man from Bolzano, 13th best South Tyrolean after the first run, slipped on the icy slope, Mölgg didn't have his best day. The Enneberger had problems in the first run and they continued through his second run. Ultimately, Mölgg came 19th.

Simon Maurberger (34th) and Alex Zingerle (he dropped out of his home race) were not there in the second run.

De Aliprandini with a strong second run

The risk was worth it. If Luca De Aliprandini hadn't made a mistake in the final part, he would have been able to do better than eighth place. But even so, the 27-year-old from Cles, who had repeatedly struggled with serious injuries in the past, was satisfied. So far, the giant slalom season hasn't gone well for De Alpiprandini. He was 15th at Beaver Creek and 19th at Val d'Isere.
