Juan del Campo and Aingeru Garay have not qualified for the second and final round of the first round of the slalom World Cup held this Sunday in the Finnish resort of Levy. It was the first of the course and they were left out of the first 30, those who go to the round of the chosen ones. However, Garay finishes with a good feeling, with a notable drop that placed him in 39th place and just half a second behind the 30th place finish. Spectacular.
The first to go down was Del Campo, a skier whose goal this season is to sneak into the top 25 in the world ranking. He came out in 53rd place, just behind the third Spaniard in contention in this championship, Salarich. Neither of them has finished their descent.
In the first section the man from Bilbao did not improve his position, he clocked 53rd time, in a bad start that forced him to take risks. Therefore, in the next one he has taken a step forward and has placed himself in 36th at that time. However, he was unable to finish the series and was left out.
Meanwhile, Garay, constantly growing, started in 68th position out of 81 participants in this opening round of the World Cup. And he finished 40th. It is true that he did not enter the final round either, but it is true that he improved 28 positions. And he barely touched the top 30 for the first time in his young career. He was half a second away. And he has been the best of those who have started in such a backward position.
