Big trouble in Gurgl
“Disgrace!” Kristoffersen pissed off after slalom
Henrik Kristoffersen is really angry! "It's a disgrace that they have these conditions," the Norwegian grumbled about the piste in Gurgl on Sunday.
The nail-biter went well. Just a few days ago there was hardly any snow in Gurgl and the slope preparation was not easy. "We made it in time and then the weather also helped to get all the parameters right. We couldn't be happier," says Alban Scheiber, head of the Gurgl World Cup and the local mountain railroads.
"Also dangerous for the knees"
However, Henrik Kristoffersen was highly critical. "The slope in the women's race was perfect, then they water it for the men and ruin it," he hissed in the Eurosport interview.
The change between smooth and aggressive not only caused riders like Manuel Feller and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen to fail. "It's also dangerous for your knees when you come out of aggressive passages into the soft section," said Kristoffersen, who finished sixth in the end.
"Most difficult slalom" for McGrath
No one else made similarly drastic comments. Third-placed Atle Lie McGrath simply said: "The snow and the course - that was the most difficult slalom of my World Cup career."
