Ski, World Cup: Odermatt leads the Val D’Isere giant

The Swiss cup leader has no rivals: he closes in 1’01”89 and the only one to keep up is the Austrian Feller at 45 cents. The big names are late, De Aliprandini out

Marco Odermatt already makes a vacuum in the first heat of the Val d’Isere giant. The Swiss, leading the classification of specialties and the absolute one, travels at a different speed compared to his rivals and finishes in 1’01”89. The only one keeping pace is the Austrian Feller, 45 cents behind. Then the gaps become heavy: third the German Schmid at 1″19, fourth the surprising Norwegian McGrath, who went down with bib number 16, at 1″32. Then Kristoffersen and Meillard at 1”49. Pinturault makes a lot of mistakes in the central phase and finishes in eighth place with a delay of 1”63. Eleventh Kranjec at 1”87. Out De Aliprandinis who misses the trajectory after a few doors.
