His day of glory. At the end of the picturesque village of Le Praz, and at the foot of the sublime Eclipse, Alexis Pinturault exploded with joy. After an already exceptional super-G at the end of the morning, the Frenchman held on in the slalom and was crowned combined world champion on Tuesday, February 7.
He thus won his second world title in “his” specialty, more than enough to ignite the thousand supporters present all around the finish area, who had come to encourage “the local child”. The Frenchman resisted the return of the defending champion, Marco Schwarz (2nd, +0”10), the only one to have shaken the Courchevel skier.
