(Dagbladet): Henrik Kristoffersen has ravaged the wild this season. The technical marvel, which has been called “Alpine skiing Mozart ‘, would like to round off the season with new toppløp in World gathers in St. Moritz.
But in 1st half in giant slalom today, disappointed Kristoffersen from start number one. 21-year-old struggled to find rhythm, and eventually became his time smashing of the strongest competitors.
Before the final round is Kristoffersen no. 11, the entire 1.52 seconds behind French Mathieu Faivre, as leader ahead of Alexis Pinturault and Italian Florian Eisath. Also world number Marcel Hirscher disappointed and no. 7, just over a second behind Faivre.
– Hirscher just lose and lose. It is surprising, cried NRK commentator Andreas Toft.
Kristoffersen part was the disappointing 1st half far more understandable, given that the youngster has struggled with illness in recent days. With restricted airways did not 21-year-old forward its best level in the current 1st half.
After the finish, he was isolated and taken indoors due to the tight airways and to optimize their preparations before final round.
Kjetil Jansrud is one hundredth behind his compatriot in 12th place after the 1st half.
– I’m between satisfied. I conducted without major errors, but swung a little too far up the hill and would have spent more energy to bring the move. It’s like that can happen when you come from speed to technical exercises, says Jansrud NRK.
He tried out new equipment, specifically the same type of skis and boots as it Pinturault uses. It gave Jansrud positive response.
Alexander Aamodt Source is number 19 before the final round. Leif Kristian Haugen ran out for the first time this season and will not run the final round.
– All the ugly words I can walked around in my head, but I have to forget what I’ve done here and continue working, says Haugen.
