Who are the favourites?
In view of the preparations for the Olympics, some of the top stars of the scene are also missing in Antholz. For example, the best athletes from Sweden leave out. The Norwegians are back after the break in Ruhpolding, and Sturla Holm Laegreid, in particular, should be taken into account, as he won the individual at the start. In addition, Quentin Fillon Maillet from France should be considered as the overall leader of the World Cup.
