Just like during the ladies' competition on Thursday, it was a tricky surface with a lot of ice.

One of the big favorites, Marco Odermatt, drove out in the first run when he lost his grip.

The Swiss is second in the giant slalom cup.

- It is extremely hard and shiny.

It is precisely that small transition that is important to take seriously, Odermatt is getting away with it, says SVT's expert Tobias Hellman.

The competition then got a clear leader.

The Frenchman Alexis Pinturault was responsible for a phenomenal ride.

With start number four, he took the lead with a superior 2.12 seconds.

Two Swedes are in the starting field Mattias Rönngren (29) and William Hansson (33).

The competition is ongoing.
