Irresistible: Kristoffersen strikes again

The decision for victory came at the finish line. Of course, course setter Anders Husby made sure that the course of the slopes suited his protégés around Henrik Kristoffersen. In fact, the Norwegians in particular made significant gains in the final section. So the half-time leader Odermatt also bit his teeth into it and ended up in third place (+0,23) behind Stefan Brennsteiner (+0,27). Kristoffersen, meanwhile, repeated his success from Saturday and celebrated his fifth win of the season. Incidentally, the Norwegian remains the only giant slalomist who was able to defeat Odermatt this season.

The decision has not yet been made in the overall World Cup. Odermatt goes into the World Cup final in Courchevel with a comfortable lead of 329 points. However, since it can be assumed that his competitor Aleksander Aamodt Kilde will not compete in the final slalom, the 24-year-old can already be congratulated on his first overall World Cup. De Aliprandini fails to catch up After Luca de Aliprandini was still within striking distance of the podium places after the first round, the man from Nonsberg was no longer able to improve in the decision. Ultimately, he bit his teeth on a hitherto phenomenal Atle Lie McGrath. In the end, the 31-year-old was able to defend his 10th place.

Giovanni Borsotti, the second Azzurro in the showdown, managed to make a big leap forward. After finishing 28th in the first round, the Italian finished 19th. The South Tyroleans Simon Maurberger, Riccardo Tonetti, Hannes Zingerle and Alex Hofer were eliminated in the first round.

It continues on Wednesday with the World Cup final in Courchevel. Then the men's and women's descents take place (9.40:11 a.m./10:XNUMX a.m.).
