Many surprises on the Ganslernhang

To talk about a favorite dying on the Ganslernhang would be an exaggeration. Because ninth-placed Hirscher (0,88 seconds behind) and Kristoffersen (+0,92/11th place) will only have one motto in the second round: full attack. And Hirscher showed two years ago that he can make up for a big deficit in Kitzbühel. At that time, Salzburg caught up by over a second.

Felix Neureuther is also still having a hard time; he is over one and a half seconds behind the leader Zenhäuser. And Manuel Feller's second place in Wengen didn't make him any more consistent. The North Tyrolean intervened and was subsequently disqualified.

The surprise man of the first round was the Bulgarian Albert Popov. The 1-year-old took fifth place with the high start number 21 - outstanding. Two giants in the lead The Swiss has had a strong run with start number 13 and is just ahead of Wengen winner Clement Noel (+ 0,12). The two are over 1,90 meters tall - unusual for pure slalom specialists. Behind Noel comes another Frenchman, Alexis Pinturault, before Christian Hirschbühel and Marco Schwarz hold the Austrian flags high in the first round.

As was the case a week ago in Wengen, the “Azzurri” were out in droves. Manfred Mölgg started, followed by Stefano Gross, Alex Vinatzer and Fabian Bacher. That's why veteran Giuliano Razzoli is the best “Azzurro” in the first run on the Ganslernhang, followed by Ahrntaler Simon Maurberger. Slalom in Kitzbühel: 1st round Pos Name Country Time 1.
