Twenty-six-year-old Hintermann triumphed in the series only for the second time after his combined success in Wengen in 2017. Two years younger, Alexander has never been on the podium in the World Cup and only once placed in the top ten. It was the 10th place in the downhill on the local track from 2020 that was his career maximum, this season he was the best in the 40th.
Alexander’s unexpected attack pushed the bronze Swiss Beata Feuze out of the back positions until then. The Olympic champion from Beijing was a hundredth faster than the home-made Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, in a balanced battle for a small crystal globe, but the Norwegian skier kept a three-point lead over Feuz at the head of the ongoing evaluation of the discipline.
In addition to Alexander, other competitors with high starting numbers made it into the top ten in Kvitfjell. German Simon Jocher, who started 44th, made it to the divided seventh place, and Italian Guglielmo Bosca finished ninth with the number 48.
After today’s congress, which replaced the canceled December race from Beaver Creek in the calendar, the World Cup in Kvitfjell continues over the weekend. Another downhill is planned for Saturday, and a super-giant slalom will take place on Sunday.
