Marco Schwarz cooks all the favorites in the first run

The World Cup season is not going as planned for Marco Schwarz (only top 5 once), but now the Austrian is leading the World Cup giant slalom with a big lead. The Carinthian was 58 hundredths faster than Marco Odermatt, who is considered the big favorite for the gold medal. The Swiss was only able to keep up with Schwarz in the upper part of the track, but then continuously lost time.

Most athletes lost a lot of time on the extremely icy slopes in Courchevel. Zan Kranjec (SLO) is third and is already 76 hundredths behind. It's already 1,13 seconds for fourth-placed Loic Meillard (SUI). The Azzurri was no different. Filippo Della Vite is the best Italian, 2,40 seconds behind. Luca De Aliprandini is 2,67 seconds behind, and Alex Vinatzer from Wolkenstein is 3,71 seconds behind - medals are therefore out of reach.

The first round was also disappointing for Henrik Kristoffersen. The Norwegian lost 1 seconds on black and is seventh. His teammate Lucas Braathen was not fit in time after appendix surgery and Atle Lie McGrath is also out injured. The strong Scandinavians giant slalom team is pretty shaken. The second round starts at 1,41 p.m. (live on SportNews -Ticker).
