In view of the tight schedule in the second week of the World Ski Championships in Cortina, several renowned technicians will resign from the parallel competition on Tuesday (final at 2pm, live on ORF1 and direct). In the two-time men’s medalist Alexis Pinturault (FRA), as well as the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen (NOR), and in the women’s event, the gold and bronze winners of the combination, Mikaela Shiffrin and Michelle Gisin, will miss the event.
The American Shiffrin had decided before the start of the World Cup to compete only in Super-G, which ended with a bronze medal, combined, giant slalom and slalom. Gisin will probably also compete in the giant slalom and slalom after the downhill and Super-G starts. “My affection is very, very little for the parallel. In fact, I’m not that good at it, ”said the Swiss on Monday.
For Austria, Stephanie Brunner, Franziska Gritsch, Katharina Liensberger and Ramona Siebenhofer and the newly crowned combined world champions Marco Schwarz, Adrian Pertl, Fabio Gstrein and Roland Leitinger start qualifying for the parallel competition (9.00 am).
