18:28
Adrian Pertl (AUT)
The next Austrian follows with Adrian Pertl at the same time. Is things going better for him than for Raschner? Not really either. Like Raschner, Pertl also loses a lot of time from the top and struggles with his rhythm. After 2.32 seconds behind, he dropped to 17th place.
18:24
Dominik Raschner (AUT)
Messed up run for Dominik Raschner. The Austrian’s deficit opens up early on and he seems to be struggling with himself and his run. Rascher looks for the center of gravity, but doesn’t find it until the finish and only ends up in the lower midfield.
18:23
Sebastian Holzmann (GER)
Sebastian Holzmann is the next German to go to the slope. He drives the upper gates well and stays close to the best times. But on the steep slope he is like many before him and the gap is enormous. He ends up in 16th place, 2.32 seconds behind.
18:21
AJ Ginnis (GRE)
After Michael Matt had to withdraw from the race due to a flu-like infection, starting number 20 is already at the start. He has had to accept a lot of failures this season and is perhaps a bit unsafe on the skis as a result. The turns don’t fit together and he quickly loses pace. With a gap of 2.45 seconds, he will have to wait and see what is enough.
6:20 p.m
Alex Vinatzer (ITA)
Shortly afterwards, Alex Vinatzer shows that you can still have good times. It copes well with the existing grooves, remains active throughout the run and, at 0.67 seconds, puts itself in a range from which a lot can still be possible.
6:18 p.m
Albert Popov (BUL)
In front of Albert Popov we work briefly on the slopes, but then he can get started too. But the Bulgarian can’t get into position and he gives a thumbs down to indicate that he wasn’t at all satisfied with his run. There are already some traces in it, but he didn’t get the technique down well today either.
6:16 p.m
Filip Zubcic (CRO)
It’s not easy to set top times at the moment and only a few have managed to put Straßer under pressure after his top run. Filip Zubcic doesn’t succeed either and after many small problems, he shrugs his shoulders in perplexity at the finish when a gap of 1.98 seconds is recorded.
18:13
Fabio Gstrein (AUT)
Fabio Gstrein is the next Austrian to go to Stangenwald. In the first few goals he is searching and even after that he doesn’t really seem to find his way. Gstrein plays it too safe and has to settle for 14th place after 2.60 seconds behind. The final is not yet certain.
6:10 p.m
Marc Rochat (SUI)
Most recently, Marc Rochat was able to achieve good results in the slalom. Can the Swiss get himself into a good starting position again today? Rochat can’t go all the way to the top, but with 1.26 seconds behind and currently in ninth place, something is definitely still possible in the final.
6:08 p.m
Kristoffer Jakobsen (SWE)
Kristoffer Jakobsen is also one of those who likes to put everything into his run. But he can’t avoid mistakes today and so he’s one of those who ends up further back.
6:07 p.m
Timon Haugan (NOR)
Shortly afterwards, Timon Haugan really lets it rip! The 27-year-old is the first to manage to put Straßer under real pressure. He stays on top of it, delivers clean technique and ends up only ten hundredths behind Straßer.
6:06 p.m
Atle Lie McGrath (NOR)
Atle Lie McGrath shows that something is still possible! The Norwegian goes full attack, doesn’t let himself be disturbed even on the steep slope when he briefly loses his line and thus keeps the gap towards Straßer relatively small. With a gap of 0.62 seconds he is the new third.
6:04 p.m
Tommaso Sala (ITA)
The Italian is the next driver and wants to start the attack. On the steep slope he loses less than the athletes in front of him, but a mistake further down the slope also comes back to haunt him. With 1.42 seconds, Sala has to take second to last place.
18:02
Alexander Steen Olsen (NOR)
Alexander Steen Olsen starts really well at the top, is the first rider to get really close to Straßer and seems to be aggressive. But on the steep slopes he no longer has any options. Just like the competition directly in front of him, Steen Olsen also loses a lot of time here and has to find his way further back.
6:00 p.m
Dave Ryding (GBR)
Dave Ryding is technically doing well, but then loses a lot of time in the middle section and can’t put any pressure on the current leader.
5:59 p.m
Daniel Yule (SUI)
Daniel Yule is the next competitor. He finds his way in well at the top, stays close to Straßer’s time, but then loses towards the German on the steep slope and finally ends up in third place, 0.78 seconds behind. Meanwhile it started to rain more. Does visibility also play a role now?
5:57 p.m
Manuel Feller (AUT)
For Manuel Feller it is important to give everything in the second run, because the Austrian also drops out. Feller looks for his rhythm, a few mistakes creep in and he arrives at the finish just over a second behind.
17:54
Henrik Kristoffersen (NOR)
In Kitzbühel things didn’t go well for Henrik Kristoffersen in the icy conditions. How does it work out for the Norwegian today in softer conditions? Certainly not the way he had hoped. You can see Kristoffersen’s frustration when he looks at the results boards and sees a gap of 0.98 seconds.
17:53
Loïc Meillard (SUI)
In the upper part of the slope the riders are relatively close together, but then he seems to take off to master the crux in the lower part. Too much, because there is a huge deficit towards Straßer. Meillard is 1.31 seconds short.
17:51
Linus Strasser (GER)
Now it applies to Linus Straßer! What can the Kitzbühel winner add? Straßer is doing well at the top, stays close to the best time and masters the difficult passage when transitioning to the flat much better. This means that they take the lead with a score of 50.46.
5:49 p.m
Clément Noël (FRA)
Clément Noël starts the race slower at the top than Zenhäuser, but drives a good, tight line. He also had difficulties in the hairpin when his momentum was too late, but he managed to compensate for the mistake and stayed in the race. Noël presents a 50.82.
5:47 p.m
Ramon Zenhäuser (SUI)
Ramon Zenhäuser from Switzerland opens the night slalom party in Schladming, but he won’t make it to the final! Zanhäuser has problems entering the flat and falls in the hairpin. But nothing happened.
5:41 p.m
The conditions
Yesterday the athletes encountered an icy slope in the giant slalom. Warm temperatures and rain will make it more difficult to create equal conditions for everyone today. The piste is softer than yesterday and should ease up more quickly over the passage.
5:37 p.m
The remaining favorites
Atle Lie McGrath (11), who has already been on the podium twice this season, must always be on the list in the slalom. Henrik Kristoffersen (5) will also want to attack again after the messed up Kitzbühel race. We can also look forward to the Swedes Kristoffer Jakobsen (13), Clément Noël (2) and Dave Ryding (8).
5:29 p.m
Swiss want next podium
After the slalom riders from Switzerland had to wait a long time for their first podium of the season, they wanted to go straight to Kitzbühel today. Ramon Zehnhäuser will open the slalom. Loïc Meillard (4) and Daniel Yule (7) also have a starting place in the top group of the best seven athletes. Marc Rochat (14) and Luca Aerni (25) also need to be taken into account. Tanguy Nef (34), Reto Schmidiger (48) and Noel von Grünigen (62) also received a nomination.
17:22
Is Straßer upping the ante?
After his brilliant victory in Kitzbühel, Linus Straßer from the German team, who will start the first round in third place today, also wants to take part in the traditional race in Schladming. In addition to him, Sebastian Holzmann (21), Anton Tremmel (41) and Nikolaus Pföderl (70), who is competing in the World Cup for the first time today, make up the four-person DSV team.
5:15 p.m
Feller is aiming for victory
Just one day after an exciting giant slalom, the traditional night slalom is on the Planai today. One of the top favorites to win is Manuel Feller, who missed out on victory yesterday by just five hundredths ahead of Marco Odermatt. Manuel Feller has already won three of five World Cup races in slalom this season. With another win he could become the first rider since Marcel Hirscher to win four World Cup slaloms in one season. Today Feller goes into the Stangenwald with start number six. In addition to Feller, the ÖSV team in the slalom includes Fabio Gstrein (15), Michael Matt (19), Dominik Raschner (22), Adrian Pertl (23), Johannes Strolz (27) as well as Joshua Sturm (46) and Kilian Pramstaller (55 ) at the start.
