The Norwegians are in the top three after a tough first round: – Absolutely terrible

Henrik Kristoffersen and Lucas Braathen put in a good first slalom run in Wengen, Switzerland.

The first round is still in progress, but the supposed best is up and running!

As a first junior, Braathen made the list with a time of 57.61 on the waterlogged and saltwater course in Wengen.

– I felt absolutely terrible, but I knew that based on how hard it was, I did a good job, Braathen tells Viaplay.

Brathen’s time was soon beaten by Switzerland’s Loic Millard, who finished 0.48 seconds faster than the Norwegian, but led by a large margin along the way.

– I got off to a slow start, and I couldn’t get the pendulum out of the start. If you’re probably six-tenths of the time intermediate first, Braathen says, it’s absolutely ridiculous.

After he was supposed to be the best, it is precisely Millard who leads.

But right behind him follows the Norwegian. Because from start number six, Kristoffersen performed solidly and put himself between Millard and Brathen in second place. Even the Swiss team, there are 0.45 seconds left before the second round.

Atlee Lee McGrath, who finished second in Adelboden two weeks ago, beaten only by Prathen, is fifth after turn one. In the goal area, he sent a powerful blow to the British, who scored in the first period:

– This was an assassination attempt signed by the British, so we Norwegians will get a track where you can see a little better skiing, McGrath tells Viaplay.

Norwegian coach Christian Mitter will open the gates in the second half.

Since it was not only the conditions that were difficult in Wengen, but also the sets of goals that were set.

– The conditions held up well for me, it wasn’t too crowded, but the course was tougher than we all expected, says McGrath.

But even with three Norwegians in the top five, there were no ups and downs in Wengen alone on Sunday morning. Sebastien Vos-Solevog was knocked out, thus not making it to the final round.

– He’s in real trouble, Sebastian. There’s been a lot of that here, says Andreas Toft, commentator for Fiplay.

Of the four races the 31-year-old has competed in this season, he has run out in three of them.
