Alexis Pinturault adelt Marco Odermatt

Santa Caterina – French ski racer Alexis Pinturault missed the Santa Caterina giant slalom on Monday by nine hundredths of a second at the Ski World Cup. Still, he’s happy with his performance, even if there are some things that could be improved. The 29-year-old from Courchevel, who will also ski in the local Super-G at the Oreiller-Killy piste, praises his competitor Marco Odermatt. The Swiss rider has finished in the top three three times in the previous three giant slalom races. For Pinturault, the Swiss is the strongest man in the giant slalom. Furthermore, the Frenchman sees the versatile Swiss ski man as someone who will be at the center of the battle for the great crystal ball.

Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen made no secret of his disappointment. I wanted to show more in the two races in Lombardy. You don’t want to lose too much thought, but rather think about the next races. However, the 26-year-old Viking wants to congratulate the athletes who took the podium, but also the organizers, who did a very good job despite heavy snowfall and Sunday’s cancellation.
