Sensation in Beaver Creek: Tumler celebrates the first World Cup victory in the giant slalom!

Beaver Creek, USA - An exciting ski weekend in Beaver Creek offered several highlights, with the Super-G producing an unexpected winner on Friday. Marco Odermatt triumphed despite initial doubts and a "shit", as he himself expressed. The Nidwaldner, who was the dominant skier last season, secured first place with his 38th World Cup victory and overwhelmed the competition with only 18 hundredth ahead of the Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin. This victory marks a return to the top after a mixed first half of the season, such as Tages-Anzeiger reported.

shocking turns in the giant slalom

The coming day was a giant slalom on the program that was disappointing for the two Austrian skiers Lukas and Patrick Feurstein. While Lukas fought for the podium in the Super-G and reached third place, both failed in the first round of the giant slalom. They took place 34 and 37 and were therefore unable to move into the second run. Only Stefan Brennsteiner managed to fight towards the front places as a tenth, albeit with a gap of over a second to the leading Thomas Tumler. The latter finally celebrated his first World Cup victory with a narrow lead of 0.12 seconds after he had left the competition behind, as Vol.at

The performance of the Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen was particularly remarkable, who impressively returned after an injury -related break and took fourth place with the best term in the second round. This competition revealed the unpredictable nature of skiing and the constant struggle for success, in which individual trips often decide on triumph or failure.
