OAR (Dagbladet): In the evening the packages 26-year-old bag and travel home to Norway, knowing that åttendeplassen from utforen is the best result he takes home with them.
It is far below the expectations of the man who has won the downhill event and been on the podium several times in the course of verdenscupsesongen.
world cup ended with that he ran out early in today’s giant slalom. The fun was over before it had really begun:
– It is the summary of the VM. It does not go according to plan, ” says a clearly disappointed Source. He shakes his head and adjusts quickly on capsen before he continues:
I’m going a little tight on the gate over the edge, and then comes the ski out in the snow where it is not so much salt. When the only away from me, and then it is out.
Must-see forward
the Source now waits a few days with zero position, before his gaze is directed towards the ending of the world cup.
the Source is including again in the battle for the super G-sphere. He is 17 points behind the leader Vincent Kriechmayr.
– What do you take with you from the world cup?
– Small. A åttendeplass and a fast downhill in the combo fades. I need to take with me, and I know that the pace is there. There is a small choke in the world cup, ” says the Source to Aftenposten’s reporter.
the 26-year-old believe that he simply wanted too much through the championship, and that it leads to errors that cost too much in the world cup ground. Source have made small or big mistakes in each run, and then, he is punished mercilessly:
I had hopes of a medal, but perhaps I need to become better to balance. It’s a bit like three years ago where I was fast in batches, but destroyed the flows in the wrong. I know I have the go inside, ” says the Source.
One year after the OLYMPICS: – Stands as a ghost town Hope for Kristoffersen
Everything is right for a giant slalom-drama in 2. place in the world cup.
Only 18 hundredths separates from Henrik Kristoffersen in third place and up to the leader, Alexis Pinturault from France. All of the big favourites for the run, and only a big surprise could change the scenario before the 2. place.
– I would rather be slightly ahead than slightly behind. Fortunately, there is little that separates. It was a bit loose in the five-six first ports, ” says Kristoffersen of the Oar.
I put a lot of time at the top – and there was no advantage to run first, ” says Kristoffersen who ran with the start number 1.
Marcel Hirscher is second, 0.1 seconds behind the leader.
A big mistake at the top cost the Leif Kristian Nestvold-the-Hill, who took bronze in the giant slalom in 2017, a good starting point before the second pass. 31-year-old had the best time in all zones without about where the error came.
I made at least a little entertainment, and maybe a little too much. It is nice that the speed is there. The pace was good. I’m happy that I’m not lost more than I did. It is not something drømmeutgangspunkt, but I’ll give it a fair chance, said Nestvold-the-Hill.
The second half starts 17.45, and is broadcast on NRK. An entire nation holding its breath: “Is he healthy enough?”
