The race
Norwegian double lead after the first run: Henrik Kristoffersen in front of compatriot Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen. Behind: The Swiss in wait. Gino Caviezel achieved his best result with fifth place in the first run. And Marco Odermatt even reached 3rd place. In the second round Filip Zubcic will soon set the best time. From then on, the competitors bit their teeth at the time of the Croatian. Caviezel starts again quickly, shows a good performance – until the final slope. There he loses over a second and falls far behind. The second Swiss hope in the second run, Marco Odermatt, is also in the lead shortly before the end. However, due to the poorer ground visibility and the soft conditions, he also has no chance of getting to the time of Zubcic. After all, 2nd place. Because Nestvold-Haugen and Kristoffersen fall behind the Swiss, Odermatt can finally celebrate. And Zubcic makes history: He is the first Croatian to win a giant slalom – Chapeau!

That was talkable
The situation in Yuzawa. The snow becomes extremely soft in the first run after just a few drivers. The athletes with a high start number? Chance. SRF expert Didier Plaschy describes the situation in a humorous way: «You have to drive with a lot of feeling. The athlete should imagine driving over eggs. Then come well. » And before the second run it rains a little too! It wasn’t a fair race. (Nim)
