It was the date set for the parallellstorslalåm in the world cup in Alta Badia, in the evening, where the Norwegian athletes Kjetil Jansrud, Henrik Kristoffersen, Aleksander Aamodt Source and Leif Kristian Nestvold-the-Hill was on the starting line.
Swedish Mats Olsson were among forhåndsfavorittene in Italy, but he smoke out to Marcel Hirscher in the semifinals. Instead, it was outsideren Thibaut Favrot (who beat out Henrik Kristoffersen on the road), which met Hirscher in the final.
It ended with a victory for the superb austrian Hirscher. Alexis Pinturault took third place ahead of Olsson.
It was clear that the red trail was better than the blue trail, which made it an advantage to be able to select the track.
21-year-old disappeared the Norwegian prodigy Quarterfinal
Henrik Kristoffersen, who have previously been sceptical to the concept parallellstorslalåm, lost the final match against swede Mats Olsson after a poor start last year.
And there was no revenge for the 24-year-old from Rælingen in the evening.
In the years karret Kristoffersen forward to åttedelsfinalen so far as it was (two hundredths), and the Norwegian won with exactly the same margin round afterwards towards Luca De Aliprandi.
But in the quarterfinals got Kristoffersen a bad start and had to take chances at the end to take back the lost. It ended with the exit in the duel against Thibaut Favrot (four tenths in front).
He takes an enormous risk, but manage it not, said Kjetil André Aamodt on the fly.
In the last year when he went all the way to the final he hit very well there, but it was a little different type of start, believed Aamodt about the start-up phase afterwards.
Lost the stake
Aleksander Aamodt Source was max unlucky and lost the stake from the start in his first heat against Manuel Traps, and kept almost falling in the second, but struck nonetheless, the austrian in both launders.
In åttedelsfinalen beat Aamodt Source out compatriot Leif Kristian Nestvold-the-Hill (15 hundredths behind), before it was the sudden stop against Olsson in the quarterfinals.
Kjetil Jansrud of smoke on his side out in the åttedelsfinalen against Marcel Hirscher (13 hundredths behind).
Kristoffersen was finally number eight and the Source was number seven. The two duellantene met to determine the final location. Kristoffersen was clearly unhappy afterwards.
There is a close program for alpintgutta forward. Wednesday’s giant slalom in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. The day after is the slalom the same place. Two days before christmas eve is the slalom in Madonna di Campiglio, writes NTB.
