Swiss double for Hirscher
Print Edition
Austria鈥檚 Marcel Hirscher won a second race of the weekend yesterday, adding a slalom victory to a giant slalom triumph 24 hours earlier for a 52nd career World Cup win with a classy display on the steep, tightly-gated Adelboden slopes in Switzerland.
Hirscher timed 1min 50.94sec with his compatriot Michael Matt, younger brother of the 2014 slalom gold medallist Mario Matt, second at 0.13sec down the soft, ski-rutted run. Norway鈥檚 Henrik Kristoffersen was narrowly edged into third at 0.16sec.
On a relatively warm day in rutted conditions Hirscher took his foot off the gas on the second run of what is considered a tough, steep course, but still had enough to cruise to a seventh win of the season, three in slalom and four in giant slalom. It is the kind of form that will make him the man to beat out in Pyeongchang for February鈥檚 Winter Games, as he seeks a first individual Olympic gold.
