Alexis Pinturault’s off-piste day

The triple Olympic medalist lived, Thursday, February 10, a very complicated alpine combined. After registering a delay of more than a second on the podium during the descent, the Savoyard then took big risks on the slalom, pushing him to make a mistake. At the bottom of the track, the winner of the big globe in 2021 was inevitably disappointed: “It’s not an easy race today for me, it’s not the expected result“.

Victim of a contusion on his right shoulder, the 30-year-old skier will still have two chances for a medal on the giant, Sunday February 13, and the slalom, Wednesday 16. He will have to regain his confidence this weekend, from the first Giant’s sleeve, to regain your sensations on skis after your fall. Pinturault is still in search of his first gold medal at the Olympic Games and does not intend to abdicate.
