But it should have been enough.
9:08 p.m .: Linus Straßer was
annoyed in the BR about his failure: “A threader can happen.
But it was a driving mistake on my part, that's stupid.
It was clear to me that it wasn't all going uphill.
There are also difficult phases that you have to go through. "
16 - Timon Haugan:
The Norwegian is fighting for the lead against his compatriot Kristoffersen, but in the end it's not quite enough.

The US-American was able to qualify for the second run for the first time and is eliminated shortly after the start.

What was that ?!
The American falls after the last goal and flies to the goal.

Update from January 26th, 8:43 p.m.:
The decision will be made in the
night slalom in Schladming
.
The best 30 drivers of the first round start in reverse order.
“It's a difficult run, but cool to attack.
I'll see what's up
I want to attack “, said a tense
Linus Straßer
in the BR.
Update from January 26th, 7:52 p.m.: Linus Straßer
made it as close as possible to the second round of the
night slalom
in
Schladming
.
The DSV star from TSV 1860 Munich struggled with the Planai in the first round and finished in 27th place, 2.66 seconds behind.
But: Straßer is known for his strong second runs and could open up the field again from behind.
The Austrian
Manuel Feller
is in the lead after the first run and could triumph in the prestigious home race.
38 - Julien Lizeroux:
The man of the evening attacks.
The Frenchman, who is driving his last race today, comes to a halt for a moment.
In the end it was only enough to finish 28th - it was probably his last run.
“Fini, done,” Lizeroux calls into the camera.
37 - Jonathan Nordbotten:
The Norwegian got
stuck
in the snow shortly after the start and rolled over.
The next two drivers,
Sandro Simonet
and
Marc Digruber, are
eliminated.

The Croatian has no chance - 28th place.
33 - Armand Marchant:
The Belgian crosses the finish line ahead of Linus Straßer - 20th place.
32 - Sebastian Holzmann:
The second German is doing well at first.
In the lower part, however, the Oberstdorfer ends up behind Straßer - Platz 26.
31 - Giuliano Razzoli:
The Italian is eliminated.
Good for strangers.
6.40 p.m.:
A disappointed
Linus Straßer
spoke up on
Bavarian radio
: “Schladming is a special slope.
In the last two races I ran out of breath a bit, I don't have enough preparation time.
Now I have to hope to get into the second round. "
30 - Erik Read:
The Canadian has some slide phases and is a few hundredths behind Linus Straßer in 23rd place.
29 - Albert Popov:
The “smallest skier in the world” from Bulgaria shows a great run, is less than two seconds behind and is ninth.
What a surprise!
28 - Stefano Gross:
After an uneven journey, the Italian still manages 15th place. For Linus Straßer, things are getting tight.
27 - Simon Maurberger:
The Italian
gets stuck
and misses the next goal.
26 - Timon Haugan:
His Norwegian trainer set the course.
In the end, Haugan finished 14th after a good final sprint.
25 - Luca Aerni:
The Swiss takes full risk and can barely avoid a fall - 3.33 seconds behind and thus behind Linus Straßer.
24 - Christian Hirschbühl:
The Austrian is already threading in after the first goals and is out.
23 - Manfred Moelgg:
The veteran from South Tyrol still measures himself against the best.
Moelgg puts in a great run on the slopes and is just under a second behind.
Very strong!
22 - Stefan Hadalin:
The slope is
getting
better again.
The Slovenian crosses the finish line just under two seconds behind.
DSV hope Linus Straßer is unfortunately only 18th.
21 - Adrian Pertl:
Again an Austrian.
But Pertl cannot jeopardize his compatriot's fastest time - tenth place.
20 - Jean-Baptiste Grange:
The French veteran sets a good time and is only 1.5 seconds behind Feller.
19 - Alexander Koroshilov:
The Russian stands
sideways for a moment
, but stays with it.
Koroshilov crossed the finish line in seventh place, “only” 1.62 seconds behind.
18 - Kristoffer Jakobsen:
The Swede threads in and leaves.
17 - Tanguy Nef:
The Swiss player has to correct a lot and can no longer iron out the mistake - ninth place.
16 - Filip Zubcic:
The Croatian has now completely lost his rhythm and is undermined by a wave - tenth place.
15 - Alex Vinatzer:
The Italian comes to a standstill and is more than three seconds behind.
That will be close for the second round.
14 - Alexis Pinturault:
The overall World Cup leader is also fighting for important points in Schladming.
After a strong start, the Frenchman also loses a lot of time in the lower part - seventh place, 1.73 seconds behind.
13 - Manuel Matt:
The Austrian has a strong run and drives like a piece - third place.
So it can go.
Schladming in the live ticker: DSV ace Straßer with bad luck in the night slalom
12 - Linus Straßer: Now it counts, the ski lion attacks. Straßer has got off to a good start and takes risks. The DSV ace stays on the edge for too long and almost comes to a standstill in the lower part. In the end it's 2.66 seconds behind - that's bitter! But Manuel Feller also cut one out here.
11 - Dave Ryding:
The Snow Briton is here!
But then Ryding takes a blow and slips away a bit - more than two seconds behind Feller.
10 - Loic Meillard:
The Swiss, who drove Super-G on Monday, crossed the finish line in just over two seconds.
The change was probably too ambitious.
9 - Victor Muffat-Jeandet:
The Frenchman looks a bit clumsy and doesn't really get into the flow - 2.54 seconds behind.
8 - Fabio Gstrein:
The Austrian shows a good run and then slips away - more than four seconds behind the finish line.
Pity!
7 - Henrik Kristoffersen:
The record winner from Schladming starts.
The Norwegian has already won four titles on the Planai.
But then a big mistake happens.
Kristoffersen almost stops on the slope and is a huge deficit - 2.6 seconds.
The Norwegian is very frustrated.
6 - Clement Noel:
The tall Frenchman chooses a very narrow line as usual, but things don't go completely smoothly.
The vote is still missing - fourth place.
5 - Marco Schwarz:
The overall World Cup leader starts furiously and pulls out four tenths of a lead right from the start.
But then a small mistake happens, in the end it is almost nine tenths.
The Austrian cannot believe it at the finish.
4 - Sebastian Foss-Solevaag:
The Norwegian won the last slalom in Flachau, what's in Schladming?
Second place, four tenths behind Feller, everything is still possible in the second round!
3 - Daniel Yule:
It's the turn of third place from last year.
On the steep slope the Swiss is almost on par with Feller and then the mistake happens.
Yule briefly loses her balance and threads.
Is that annoying!
2 - Ramon Zenhäusern:
The Swiss doesn't make it and is seven tenths behind Feller.
Start number 1 - Manuel Feller:
The Austrian set the first time under heavy snowfall.
Let's see how long Feller can stay on top.
Update from January 26th, 5.42 p.m.:

After the season highlight of the speed specialists with the downhill race in Kitzbühel on the Streif, it is now the
turn of
the
technicians
.
The
24th night slalom in Schladming
is
coming up
.
The
floodlit spectacle
on the Planai in Austria is one of the highlights of the World Cup season for fans of alpine skiing *.
However, this time the finish stadium in Schladming is not transformed into a
cauldron
with thousands of ski fans from all over the world,
as is usually the case
.
Due to the corona, no spectators are allowed.
So far, no German has won the night race on the Planai.
The closest thing to it was
Felix Neureuther
, who was on the podium with his third place in 2014 and 2015.
Henrik Kristoffersen
triumphed
for the fourth time last year.
The Norwegian is currently looking for his form.
The Flachau winners
Manuel Feller
from Austria and
Sebastian Foss-Solevaag
from Norway are
among the favorites
.
The overall World Cup leader
Alexis Pinturault
is one of
the favorites, as is
Marco Schwarz,
who leads the Slalom World Cup
.

The DSV cracks also have a hot iron in the fire.
Ski lion
Linus Straßer
wants to show off at the “Nightrace”.
Born in Munich, he is in
top form
and celebrated his first World Cup victory this season in Zagreb.
This was followed by a second place in Adelboden.
In Flachau, with fifth place, another top result jumped out.
A day later, however, the
28-year-old got involved
and dropped out.
"Now we have a bit of air," he said, looking at the short break until the next gate run in
Schladming
.
He wanted to use this to “train well and rest a bit and then attack again”.
In
Schladming
, Straßer wants to "attack fully" again.
"If you want to play at the front, you have to take risks," explained the slalom measure in the show
Blickpunkt Sport
.
