No miracle Brignone, the giant cup is Gut’s. Feller took the slalom and Odermatt took the giant slalom despite the fall.
Men’s GIANT SLALOM – Odermatt falls, Meillard thanks! It stops at 12 la win streak by Marco Odermatt in giant slalom: Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 14 is very close. The Swiss champion can console himself with the Giant’s Cup lifted in Saalbachspeech archived months ago. Second success of the season for Loïc Meillardthe first in GS, who was following his national teammate by just four tenths before he crashed. The snow in Saalbach, turned into a granite despite the salt treatment, it did not allow in Odermatt the circus act to stay in the race. A small loss of the internal support, which hits against the external one causing the derailment (admitted for the technicians), and the first ”zero” in the Swiss’ perfect season. They complete the podium Joan Verdú (2nd at 0.71”), already appreciated in Val-d’Isère in December with the first podium in the history of Andorra, and Thomas Tumler (3° a 0.79”)the Swiss on the podium for the first time this season. Anonymous Italyto put it mildly: the better de Aliprandini 14th; Borsotti and Vinatzer 18th and 19th respectively. Filippo Della Vite exits in the first heatdemonstrating the much work to be done this summer, especially on a mental level.
Women’s SLALOM – 60 times Slalom Queen! Mikaela Shiffrin gets her second consecutive success since returning from the Cortina injury, as well as #60 in Slalom. It is no coincidence that 60 in the Kabbalah is associated with harmony and balance, qualities which fully reflect not only the personality of Her Majesty but also his skiing. Only Mikaela’s grace could tame the ruts on the heat-torn snow of Saalbach, conditions that caused six athletes to withdraw from the games. Behind the Winter Queen Norwegian is attested Mina Fuerst Holtmann (2nd at 0.54”), the most consistent in the two heats, who reaches the second podium in Slalom after 2 years. The Swede closes the podium Anna Swenn Larsson (3rd at 0.63”) who managed to stay ahead of Shiffrin in the first heat, albeit just slightly. The deterioration of the track left the Dalarnese with no chance, losing more than 7 tenths to the American. Well done Martina Peterlini 9th – 2nd time of the 2nd heat, better than her only the Slovenian Neja Dvornik: this is the first Top10 of the season for the Rovereto native.

GIANT SLALOM Female – Brignone like Lazzaro! Federica Brignone ends up on the floor twice but still wins with an abysmal gap over her opponents. The biblical parallelism is not exaggerated: any athlete would have been doomed with such moves – Odermatt the day before is a clear example – but Federica NO! There Tigre he digs his claws into the snow, gets back on his feet twice and leaves everyone stunned. It matters little double success in the final ranking for Lara Gut (8th) in general and in giant slalomFederica’s competition is an Oscar winner for Best Film of 2024 (with all due respect to Christopher Nolan). The season to remember ends with a second place – 5 podiums in SG – for 2001 Alice Robinson (2nd at 1.36”). 3rd the Norwegian Thea Louise Stjernesund (+1.67”). Yet another fall for Marta Bassino who will try to redeem himself next week with the speed races.
Men’s SLALOM – Timon Haugan wins but the party is all for Feller! The Norwegian from Marcel Hirscher’s ”stable” is the protagonist of an excellent second part of the season, crowned with the first success of the year at the home of the new Slalom champion: Manuel Feller (2nd at 0.40”). For the Austrian, an unstoppable ride towards the specialty cup after a career with fits and starts, some very good performances alternating with many sesquipedal errors. In the multiverse in which Marco Schwarz had returned after Bormio, the epilogue would probably have been the same: D’Artagnan Tyrolean he defended himself all season from the constant pressure of Linus Strasser (3° a 0.44”). The Bavarian tried until the end, only obtaining podiums after the Wengen tour. However, what was decisive was the cumulative delay in the first part of the season. Also back in the Top 10 isItal-Slalom maschile: Alex Vinatzer (8°), up to Saalbach largely more skilled in Giant. Tommaso Sala immediately close to the Top10, 12th.
