Maximum cone spacing in the giant slalom will be bigger than 2,50m. Expect something similar to Kreuzlingen. Maybe a little easier for the rookies. Some French skaters said in their discussions they didn't want to come because of the 2.50 m giant slalom. Unfortunately Kreuzlingen wasn't much of gia...

Thank's Alex, Follow up questions: Giant slalom (Saturday). There will be an offset course with a cone spacing between 1,80m – 2,50m. Doesn't seem like much of a giant slalom if the maximum is 2.50m. Is this just an approximation, or is this the limit? Will there be dual racing in both tight and gia...

At the top the ma...
