“It’s very disappointing,” said the World Number five, who was slower than the outsiders Arnaud Alessandria (Monaco), Jack Gower (Ireland) or Barnabas Szollos (Israel).
The best chances for gold are the Austrians Johannes Strolz and Marco Schwarz, who are better slalom riders than Kilde. Strolz is 0.75 seconds behind in fourth place, while World Champion Schwarz is another 0.20 seconds back in fifth place.
Alexis Pinturault (France/+1.92), vice world champion and Olympic runner-up, as well as the Swiss World Championship third Loic Meillard (+2.79) had a hard time.

Jocher called the fact that only 27 athletes were at the start in the traditional “station wagon” “a testimony of poverty”. The two-man competition was the first competition in which Alpine Olympic medals were awarded in 1936.
In the World Cup, he has been neglected for years, this winter there is not a single competition in the program. The last one so far was held in Hinterstoder in 2020. At that time Pinturault won, Kilde was third.
