The several-time junior world champion and the greatest talent of alpine disciplines, he drove perfectly especially the second lap, in which he managed to set the fastest ride even on a worse track.

The Austrian Marco Schwarz did not start today’s race due to problems, because he does not want to take risks before Sunday, when he can secure a small globe in advance for the overall triumph in slalom. “Tomorrow is much more important to me, so today I prefer rest and rehabilitation to be 100% ready,” he said.
