Popov enthusiastic: surprise victory at the slalom classic in Adelboden!

On Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the next slalom round will start in Adelboden, with Linus Strasser from Germany, which bears the first start number, followed by the two-time winner of the season Clement Noel from France and Tyrolean Manuel Feller, who most recently resigned in Madonna di Campiglio in the second run href = "https://www.laola1.at/de/wintersport/ski-alpin/weltcup-herren/ski-weltcup-live-die-start list-fuer-den-slalom-in-adaden/"> laola1.at reported.

in Madonna di Campiglio, Popov convinced with an impressive chase. After a solid first run in eighth place, he put everything on one card in the second run and got the victory with the best time, while Atle Lie McGrath, who was in the lead after the first run, left. Popov, who counts a tragic past after being seriously injured in his youth in a car accident, could hardly believe his great triumph. "It is brutal. I wanted to risk everything-and yet had no mistake," he said in an interview, such as "https://www.tagengeiger.ch/slalom-madonna-di-campiglio-atle-mcgrath-fuehr-1-153759042799"> Tagesanzeiger.ch reported.
