Bravery with a fantastic ride before a historic success, the ecstasy of the Swiss

A fantastic day for Slovenian skiing. Miha Hrobat first had the honor of opening the legendary downhill on the famous Lauberhon track in Wengen. And he took his ride in style. Until the Swiss duo, he sat in the red chair of the leader, but in the end he had to admit superiority to only two and looked forward to third place, the best Slovenian ranking in Wengen. Faster than him were local matadors Franjo von Allmen and Marco Odermatt, who caused an explosion of enthusiasm. The latter took the lead in style and skied to another victory.

Slovenian skier Miha Hrobat wrote a new chapter in downhill skiing. After the first podium in Beaver Creek this season, he repeated the third place in Switzerland. And this on the longest downhill run of the season, the prestigious Lauberhon track in Wengen. At the same time, he became the first Slovenian to stand on the podium of the legendary downhill. He was closest to the podium in front of him Andrej Germanwhich was fourth in 2011.

Only the Swiss were better than him Marco Odermatt in Franjo von Allmenwhich sent 40,000 Swiss fans into ecstasy.

“At the start I thought 2:25 would be a good time. At the finish line it was 2:23, which was excellent. Unfortunately, two better Swiss guys overtook me. I’ll push a bit for third place. I’m happy with the ride. It’s a good day was,” said Hrobat in an interview for Slovenian national television, and when asked what it was like to sit in the leader’s chair, he added: “It’s stressful to sit in the leader’s red chair. Paris was very close, too Alexander. Unfortunately, Krichmayr fell. It’s nice, but it’s also stressful.”

He interrupted the game for a good number of minutes Vincent Kriechmayrwho just before the finish line fell ugly into the protective fence. Fortunately, the Austrian has recovered, but he is awaiting medical examinations in the hospital.
