With start number 25: Swiss sensation in Garmisch

There were many indications in Garmisch-Partenkirchen that Henrik Kristoffersen would go into the short break as the half-time leader. With start number 1, the Norwegian promptly conjured up a strong time in the Bavarian snow, which the competition could no longer surpass. Only Loic Meillard kept up somewhat; the Swiss crossed the finish line a measly hundredth of a second behind. But wait! There was a certain Tanguy Nef with start number 25 at the top. The 25-year-old was not there in Beijing, which apparently spurred him on a lot. The Swiss rider defied the increasingly poor slope, set off like a fire brigade, and took a fair amount of risk with him - and was amazed when the green light flashed at the finish line. With start number 25, the man from Geneva raced to first place and is now aiming for his first ever podium finish. So far, a 1th place is his best World Cup result. Vinatzer knocked off The newly crowned Olympic champion Clement Noel, who is only in 12th place, fared less well. Alex Vinatzer also didn't get up to speed at all: numerous mistakes from top to bottom ensured that the man from Val Gardena was only in 23rd place at halftime. Tobias Kastlunger from Val Badia did not make it into the second round, more than four seconds behind. Simon Maurberger (Ahrntal) is eliminated, and Tommaso Sala appears to be the best Azzurro in 2th place. Experienced Manfred Mölgg (St. Vigil in Enneberg) is not there due to a corona infection.
