Yule at halftime behind Braathen in 2nd place – Nef and Zen houses in wait
Daniel Yule is second in the Kitzbühel Slalom after the first run. The Valais is replaced by the 19-year-old Norwegian Lucas Braathen, who started with number 34, from the top.
Braathen made a reserve of 33 hundredths on Yule. Behind it, the time intervals are small until far back. No less than 15 athletes classified within a second. There is also less than a second between Yule and Croatian Elias Kolega in 21st place.
The Austrians Michael Matt and Marco Schwarz followed behind Yule. On the other places Alexis Pinturault (5th), Henrik Kristoffersen (8th), Clément Noël (9th) and Ramon Zenhaeuser (13th) lurk with short intervals further contenders for the victory. Zenhausen is outside the top 10, but only 43 hundredths behind the podium.
Tanguy Nef continues to advance. The Geneva student studying in the USA, whose qualities Yule had already pointed out before the start of the season, finished 10th with start number 20. Less than four tenths of a second off the podium. Third best Swiss is Reto Schmidiger in the 18th intermediate rank. Loïc Meillard failed 1.42 seconds behind Braathen as 31st by two hundredths in the second run. The race is also over for Luca Aerni (49th) and Marc Rochat (56th). The second run starts at 1.30 p.m. (Pre / SDA)
