André Myhrer chased first podium place in slalom.
How it ended? With a retract – after only three gates.
Instead, Jens Byggmark best Swedish for the first race in the Italian Santa Caterina.
It has been a dark Swedish slalom winter. On the men’s side.
Our big names like Mattias Hargin and André Myhrer has been difficult to sue.
So it continued also in 2016.
“A symbolic Image of Sweden “
The worst was that of André Myhrer – which has a tenth place from Madonna di Campiglio’s best slalom placement. Myhrers race was over after just three ports, then a classic interior pods screwed up.
– Neeeej! What is happening? That looked really fishy, says SVT expert Tobias Hellman.
– It is not true. He can hardly get started. But it is a symbolic picture of the Swedish national team in the winter, says commentator John Ejeborg.
Mattias Hargin took it all the way down, but is on the 18th place after the first run.
– There is no real speed. It’s a shame. Snow grabs it and it is quite difficult. It is not my strong point when it is tough. I hope the faster track in the second run, says Hargin to SVT.
“There are no excuses”
And he could climb sharply in the consistent results list.
It is just over one second until fourth grade Alexis Pinturault and 1:52 until leading Russian Alexander Khorosjilov.
Dear Swedish after the first run is Jens Byggmark – as with start number 21 – teamed up in ninth place. 95 hundredths behind Khorosjilov.
– Really nice for Jens says Tobias Hellman.
Anton Lahdenperä is on the 15th place. Markus Larsson’s 28th.
The big happy surprise was hidden ice Emil Johansson – as with start number 73 came in at 29th place and has to go the second run.
Despite five Swedes also were SVT expert is not completely satisfied.
– Normally, we will have a Swedish higher in the list. There are no excuses for it, says Tobias Hellman.
Slalom Giants Henrik Kristoffersen, Norway, and Marcel Hirscher, Austria, is in second and third after Alexander Khorosjilov after the first run.
