Slovak representative Adam Žampa he was on the fourteenth place with a gap of 1.07 s to the leader and 54 stoníns separated him from the top 5. His brother Andreas did not advance to the 2nd round when he was only one hundredth short of the last 30th place.
Faivre was the second to enter the track, right after Alex Gint Pinturault, the defender of the big globe. He was faster from his compatriot in all the split times and none of the opponents removed him from the current leading position.
Closest to this was the winner of the first two seasonal “giants” Odermatt, who also handled the challenging upper passage with the gates closed. He led in the first two split times, but lost a little at the bottom and finished just behind Faivrea.
However, the skiers also succeeded behind the two drawn groups, Feller rose to third place with the number 16, the fourth was the American River Radamus with 18 (+0.30 s).
Adam Žampa he set off for the Gran Risa piste with start number 20. He showed a risky ride at the top, but at the same time he was able to go clean, which he used especially in the lower passage. He caught a good rhythm in it and headed to the 2nd round (13.00 h), in which he could also think of an attack on the elite ten.
Younger Andreasovi (No. 52) after the finish, the 30th place with a deficit of 2.03 s belonged to him, but he was immediately pushed by a hundredth out of the top 30 by the Swede Mattias Rönngren.
