Six World Cup races. Six different winners. It's anyone's guess who will win the men's slalom at the upcoming Winter Olympics.
The Olympics are almost back. Exactly 180 days after the curtain was brought down on the Tokyo Games, the Beijing Winter Olympics will officially be opened on February 4. However, competition begins two days prior, with preliminary matches in curling and ice hockey ahead of the Opening Ceremony.
Linus Strasser emerged victorious from the final World Cup race before the Olympic Winter Games in a thrilling race in Schladming, Austria. Strasser came home in 1:46.00, three-hundredths of a second ahead of Norway’s Atle Lie McGrath, to earn his first World Cup win of the season.
Germany’s Linus Strasser triumphed in the men’s slalom in Schladming, Austria as Britain’s Dave Ryding failed to back up his historic victory in Kitzbuhel. Strasser topped the standings after the final two skiers, Sweden’s Kristoffer Jakobsen and Italy’s Giuliano Razzoli, crumbled under the pressure and failed to finish their second runs. Ad/> The 29-year-old clinched victory by just 0.03 seconds from Norway’s Atle Lie McGrath, who was overcome with emotion after realising he had bagged a podium finish.
Team GB have never won more than one gold medal at the Winter Olympics but Beijing 2022 surely offers the best chance to make history. A squad of 50 athletes has been finalised containing world champions and regular podium finishers, making this contingent arguably the most talented that has ever been assembled by Britain.
