Giant slalom now live: German Olympic hope flies out after 20 seconds

First report from February 13, 6:04 a.m .:

Yanqing - After 20 seconds it was all over: The German giant slalom hope Alexander Schmid failed prematurely in the Olympic race.

The man from the Allgäu was driving in difficult visibility conditions with start number 9 and an interim best time when he merged in after a driving error.

Disappointed, he drove to the side of the track and sank into the snow.

"It annoys me, of course I've planned something else," said Schmid on ZDF.

He could only explain his exit by saying that it was a bit slippery.

I just slipped.” However, the borderline conditions on the “Ice River” slope in Yanqing should “not be an excuse, everyone has to go through it”.

Olympia: giant slalom in the live ticker – Alexander Schmid eliminated early

On Sunday, for the first time during the games, it snowed really big flakes in the alpine center, so the second women's downhill training session was cancelled.

Apparently unimpressed by this, top favorite Marco Odermatt clocked the best time after the first run.

However, the Swiss also made a mistake, but unlike Schmid, he just stayed on course.

Before the final (1:45 p.m. PT, 6:45 a.m. CET), Odermatt is 0.04 seconds ahead of Stefan Brennsteiner from Austria.

World Champion Mathieu Faivre (France) is another 0.04 seconds back in third.
