Henrik Kristoffersen (28), Rasmus Windingstad (29) and Lucas Braathen (22) were close to something big, but two fast names from the Alps spoiled the Norwegian dream day.
After six days of water cycle, in the same sea as Ben CartwrightBen CartwrightThe main character in the TV series Bonanza (1959-1972), played by Lorne Greene. The series still airs on TV 2 every weekend. The gang wreaked havoc on TV’s “Bonanza” in the 1960s, and technical Norwegian drivers did a razor-sharp act Saturday morning local time.
After the first round, four Norwegians were among the top eight. Alexander Steen Olsen (8), Henrik Kristoffersen (7), Lukas Brathen (4) and Rasmus Windingstad (3) have all scored goals and can take the top spot in less than a second in front of leader Marco Odermatt.
It was Kristoffersen’s trainer, Jörg Roten, who was allowed to be honorable and hit the trailhit the trailIt is common for coaches from different teams to be allowed to set up the gates before the first and second half of a slalom. in the second half. It paid off.
Kristoffersen threw himself around the gates like a lasso, pressing hard on Odermatt and the rest of the Norwegians.
– It’s a very good game. I think this can go all the way,” commented Viaplay expert Kjetil André Aamodt.
…but it didn’t last long. Marco Schwartz delivered a dream run and smashed Kristofferson by a 73-hundredth.
Lukas Brathen was the number one contender: he made a big mistake in the middle of the track and was nowhere near as threatening as the Austrian. He finished sixth.
Rasmus Windingstad had a giant lap earlier in the day, and managed to match the pace somewhat on the last lap. However, he wasn’t able to beat Schwarz’s time, but did get his first World Cup podium since Kranjska Gora in 2019.
In the WC giant slalom just over a week ago, Marco Odermatt had the edge, and namesake Schwartz had to settle for bronze. On Saturday, the Austrian got a bit of revenge with his huge second Tour – but it was much smoother than it looked at the halfway point when Odermatt uncharacteristically missed it. However, he found the pace again, and amazingly managed to get the entire lead to Schwartz on the final lap. Three hundred was too much.
However, it was enough to push Windingstad into third place, and Kristofferson off the podium.
Thus, there was still no Norwegian fortune, a pistol shot from the fictional farm “Pondarosa”.
However, there is little reminiscent of the Cartwright family’s cowboy life on Lake Tahoe during the day. California was hit by a storm Historical proposals This week, Palisades also affected Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) at the top of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Christofferson and associates. It survived the worst of Saturday’s weather.
Alexander Steen Olsen was, as mentioned, eighth before the last round, but crashed halfway through.
He’s young and inexperienced. Kjetil Andre Aamodt commented on Viaplay, he must take it here at the expense of inexperience.
Alexander Aamodt Kilde had spectators open their eyes when he opened the second round brilliantly, but a big mistake meant he ended up lower in the charts at No. 24. Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen ranked No. 20.
