Frenchman Nils Allegre scores his first World Cup victory in Garmisch

The Tricolores never cease to surprise. In Super-G, while we were waiting for the irresistible Cyprien Sarrazin, winner in this same discipline in Wengen two weeks ago, it was ultimately another Frenchman who stole the show. Nils Allegre won on Saturday January 27 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany). He was thus ahead of Guglielmo Bosca by a little less than two tenths (+0”18), and Loïc Meillard (+0”25).

In Garmisch, Nils Allegre found a track that he appreciates and which is successful for him: it was already there, three years ago, that he achieved his best result in the World Cup, with a fourth place in the Super- G. He thus won his first victory in the World Cup, and quickly increased the number of French victories to five this season.

Cyprien Sarrazin outside the Top 10

This victory brings to fruition a season full of promise in speed for the Frenchman: a seventh place in downhill in Wengen two weeks ago, a sixth place in Super-G in Bormio at the end of December and a fourth place in downhill in Val Gardena even earlier.

His compatriot Cyprien Sarrazin took eleventh place and comes off the podium for the first time this year.. “It’s not a bad run, it’s just not a perfect runcommented the Frenchman. I’m very happy for Nils (…), we’re in a lot of competition and he did a perfect run, incredibly accurate, and today it paid off.” Marco Odermatt, for his part, fails at the foot of the podium and leaves the top 3 of the Super-G for the first time since March 2022, in Kvitfjell (Norway).
