An exciting competition in the Alps attracts attention: On Sunday, December 21, 2024, a giant slalom in Alta Badia is on the program for skiers. The first round begins at 10 a.m. The Swiss Loic Meillard opens the race, followed by Filip Zubcic and Henrik Kristoffersen. Among the athletes there are also the prominent names such as Thomas Tumler and Marco Odermatt, who recently triumphed in Val d’Inere, as well as the Austrian stars such as Stefan Brennsteiner and Marco Schwarz, who celebrates his comeback in the giant slalom. Brennsteiner starts number 9, while Black wears 10. Manuel Feller follows the 17, and Patrick Feurstein with the 20th. The interest in this competition is high, since the athletes already have to prepare for the important points for the overall ranking, such as laola1.at reported.

Marco Odermatt shines in Val Gardena

In the meantime, Marco Odermatt demonstrated his impressive skills on the Ciaslat slope in Val Gardena, where he was able to win his first victory of the season in the departure. He took first place with an excellent run, while his compatriot Franjo von Allmen landed only 0.45 seconds behind him. The American Ryan Cochran-Siegle followed just 0.46 seconds behind, which made the event a real race for the top. It was noteworthy that Odermatt won on this route for the first time, which continues to strengthen its dominance in skiing, such as Eurosport.

The technical skills that Odermatt demonstrated in the Ciaslat were crucial for his victory and already marked his 40th World Cup win, his third in the departure. Another aspect to be emphasized is that the 6th place by Stefan Eichberger and the 5th place of Martin Carter have expressly shown that solid services can be provided outside the large start numbers. The distances at the finish line were minimal, which made the tension all the greater. In view of these services, you can only wait for what is going on in Alta Badia during the upcoming giant slalom.
