Overall, a good run by the 29-year-old, who brought fifth place. With a deficit of 0:33 seconds on the leading Austrian Johannes Strolz, Straßer has every chance before the second race.
Alexander Schmid from Oberstdorf is in 23rd place after the first run (+2:03s). Like many other athletes, Julian Rauchfuss did not finish the race. He slipped on the steep slope and missed a goal.
