For James Crawford, he surprised “everyone” and is going for WC gold in the super-G. The Canadian has no previous World Cup victories, and was number 14 in the previous WC in the same discipline. – The first reaction was really just: Is it possible? But you get what you deserve when you don’t hit the whole course, and he hits well, so that’s just the way it is, says Kilde to news. – Have you seen?! We see Kilde is upset about the one hundredth, said news’s alpine expert Elton Myhre, when Crawford took over as manager. Thus, it seems to be moving towards silver for Kilde, which will be his first WC medal in his career. The supposed best have driven. – It is the first WC medal as it looks now, it tastes quite good. And of course, you have to be realistic and say that one hundredth is sour, but that’s how it is, says Kilde. FIRST MEDAL: Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won his first WC medal in his career. Photo: LEONHARD FOEGER / Reuters – Completely raw power Kilde and Swiss Marco Odermatt were the two big favorites before Thursday’s Super G. And the Swiss delivered, stepped into the lead and put pressure on the Norwegian star. – He lives here Odermatt. Very decisive in the lower part and clenches the fist. That it is not a medal race, I do not believe in that, said Elton Myhre. Shortly afterwards, French Alexis Pinturault topped the race to Odermatt, but there was a Norwegian hungry for a WC medal at the top. Kilde delivered green times in spades and entered a new leadership period. – Oi, oi, oi. It’s absolutely raw power. He sets the target like no one else, said Elton Myhre. But then came the big surprise. James Crawford had probably not envisioned Kilde as his biggest challenger in Thursday’s race, but Crawford went about it disrespectfully, beating Kilde’s lead by a hundredth. – Are you going to ruin the day? You should. He is one hundredth ahead. I didn’t see that coming, said news’s radio commentator Patrick Rowlands. Fall for McGrath Then Kilde threw his gloves in frustration. – Were you angry?, asks news Kilde. – Yes, that’s the first reaction then. When you build up and are ready to attack, it happens as a first reaction, in a way. That’s the way it is, you have to show some emotion, he says. Adrian Smiseth Sejersted is currently in 7th place. Atle Lie McGrath fell and drove out. In the goal area, the Norwegian limped. He is now in the medical tent for treatment. – Preliminary check is OK. But we are taking him for a proper check-up with a doctor and physiotherapist. So it always takes some time, then. We will come back with a message later, says sports manager Claus Ryste to news. For the gold winner from 2019, Dominik Paris, there was also a fall. The Italians went out hard from the start, but lost their balance and drove into the fence. The emergency crew quickly came to the rescue. – Ouch, ouch, ouch. Then things go wrong. How did it go? Paris is left in pain. He looks down at his calf and tries to get up, but he can’t. Paris is clearly in pain here, said news commentator Rowlands.
