Let’s go. The skiers set off on the Rettenbach Glacier, Austria, to the first giant slalom event by Sölden, Sunday October 24. The first round will be followed around 10 a.m., the second will follow from 1:15 p.m. For Alexis Pinturault, the objective of this new edition will be to defend his title acquired last March and to win the second big crystal globe of his career.
A success that could go through another, the giant slalom, an event in which the 30-year-old skier had already shone during the last edition by finishing first in the standings. He will have to get rid of Swiss Marco Odermatt, his second with two victories and six podiums last winter. Another French could also shine in this discipline in the person of Mathieu Faivre, winner of the giant at the Cortina d’Ampezzo Worlds last February.
