After two ideal rounds, the Frenchman was crowned combined world champion on Tuesday in Courchevel, after a well-controlled slalom.
He couldn’t have started his world championships better. In front of his home crowd in Courchevel, Alexis Pinturault won his first gold medal in combined on Tuesday 7 February. Four years after his last coronation in Sweden in this same discipline (2019), the Frenchman, author of a perfect first run in the combined super-G, repeated the song on the second run, in slalom.
Despite a slight loss of time halfway through, the tricolor skier completed the two runs in 1’53”31. He is ahead Marco Schwarz by 10 hundredths, the Austrian having made an error in the last meters depriving him of a second consecutive coronation. Raphaël Haaser completes the podium at 44 hundredths. AT 31-year-old Alexis Pinturault, the local child, who had not done better than a fifth place in slalom this season, is launching his world championships perfectly to the delight of the supporters.
