Crazy slalom season: Straßer wins in Schladming

There is the 6th winner in the 6th slalom of the season: Linus Straßer kept his nerve on the plane and climbed to the top podium with a strong 2nd run from 5th place. For the 29-year-old from Munich, it is the 3rd World Cup victory overall and the 2nd in the slalom. The young Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath took second place. The 2-year-old, who wore start number 21, missed his first World Cup victory by just 34 hundredths of a second.

Giuliano Razzoli, among others, also became a tragic figure. The 37-year-old, who was in second place after the first run, was eliminated in the final, as he was in Kitzbühel. Razzoli was already entering the upper part of the route and had to give up his dream of his first World Cup victory in almost 1 years.

But Kristoffer Jakobsen almost got hit even harder than Razzoli. The half-time leader from Sweden scored three goals in the second half. Clement Noel and Lucas Braathen were also unable to take advantage of their good starting positions and fell back. This phenomenon happened more often in this year's slalom season. Vinatzer makes a giant leap Alex Vinatzer made a real leap forward. The man from Val Gardena improved significantly in the second run and moved up from 2st place to 21th place. In the end he missed a podium place by just 5 hundredths. This made him the best Azzurro at the same time. Only Manuel Feller made an even bigger leap, gaining 4 places with his best running time and finishing 26rd. The Austrian was only released from his Corona quarantine in the morning.

The second best Azzurro was Tommaso Sala in 7th place. The other two South Tyroleans, Manfred Mölgg and Simon Maurberger, took places 22 and 24. The men's skiing continues with the Olympic Games in Beijing. The first medal decision will take place there on February 6th with the downhill event. Olympic squad is set Meanwhile, the men's ski Olympic squad was also announced. How already announced Only 7 ski racers from Italy will travel to Beijing. These are Dominik Paris, Christof Innerhofer, Alex Vinatzer, Tommaso Sala, Matteo Marsaglia, Luca De Aliprandini and Giuliano Razzoli. Simon Maurberger and Manfred Mölgg also have to bite the bullet.
