Alexis Pinturault "necessarily disappointed" after leaving the track in Giant

Alexis Pinturault, in Cortina -

There is the France which laughs and the one which weeps.

If Mathieu Faivre is jubilant after his title of world champion on the Giant of Cortina, Alexis Pinturault can feed him immense regrets.

Before leaving the track in the wall, "Pintu" had flown over the morning as the boss of the specialty that he is.

What to be "inevitably disappointed", as the skier confided in the mixed zone after the race.

“I had a lot of desire for this race, a lot of motivation.

I skied very well the first run, the second I started pretty well.

I try to ski right on those problematic gates.

Despite everything, I am a little fooled.

The light didn't help, I ended up in the wrong hole, it gets me out.

I didn't have time to react to try to correct.

Sometimes I succeed, but there I did not succeed.

Outsider on the slalom

Alexis Pinturault still has a chance to bring home an Olympic gold medal on Sunday in the slalom, a specialty that has not been successful for him so far this season apart from two podiums.

“Sunday is another race, a race where I am an outsider.

There are possibilities, but there are a lot of people in this discipline.
