Double cup for Alexis Pinturault.
Imperial this Sunday, the French won the giant slalom in Alta Badia (Italy), and regained the lead in the general classification of the Alpine Skiing World Cup.
“It's great, it was very close but winning here is always special, it's a myth,” he said.

Already leading the first round, he had to fight to keep a short margin of 7 hundredths over the young Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath, 20, who climbs for the first time on the podium in the World Cup.
First also in the top 3 for the Swiss Justin Murisier, third at 24 hundredths.
With 376 points, that is to say a small unit more than the defending champion of the big globe Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, sixth this Sunday, Pinturault takes again the head of the general.
