The Swiss rage on Norwegian soil, while the Norwegian alpinists have far up to the victory at home. – I was a little shocked, says Henrik Kristoffersen to news about his own time in the 1st round of the big slalom race in Hafjell. The latter won the previous big slalom race in Kranjska Gora, but then wondering at her own time and said “hi” after finishing in Hafjell. – I actually think I gave good gas, but I don’t know. It must be something. There is no doubt about it, says Kristoffersen-who is in 15th place. He has 1.48 seconds up to leading Loïc Meillard from Switzerland, who has the countrymen Thomas Tumler and Marco Odermatt in the nearest places. Best of those with the Norwegian flag, is Alexander Steen Olsen. The 23-year-old was uncertain about the gutter, but chose to run with pain in the heel. He is in sixth place, 63 hundreds behind Meillard. In the square in front of Steen Olsen, lies the Norwegian-Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen. Atle Lie McGrath, Timon Haugan, Jesper Wahlqvist, Rasmus Bakkevig and Rasmus Windingstad also made their way to the final round, in the 10th, 12th, 18th, 21st and 26th place respectively. Eirik Hestad Solberg ended one hundredth outside the 30 best who can drive the final round at 12.30. Theodor Brekken was number 51.
