At the end, Adrian Smiseth Sejersted was leading, who was attacking for the first victory of his career. The 28-year-old Norwegian started first and took advantage of the good conditions. They began to deteriorate significantly after the departure of the seventh Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr, after which the race was stopped for about ten minutes due to an accident of one of the workers on the track.
After the restart, the skiers had to deal with poor visibility caused by clouds and then even by snowfall and achieved significantly slower times. After the departure of the Italian veteran Christof Innerhofer with the number 24, the jury decided to cancel the race.
In the discipline evaluation, Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has a big lead of 156 points over Kriechmayr and can celebrate winning the small globe on Saturday after the second convention in Aspen. The SP program in Colorado will close on Sunday with the super giant slalom.
