22 December 2017, Madonna di Campiglio (World Cup)
The 64th edition of the 3Tre is pure adrenaline. After taking the lead in the first run, Marcel Hirscher goes on to claim his second 3Tre victory — but not without drama.
The Austrian makes two major mistakes in the second run, only to produce two extraordinary recoveries and hold on to the narrowest of margins at the finish. Two moments of pure magic, reminiscent of Alberto Tomba at his best.
Switzerland’s surprise contender Luca Aerni takes second place, while Henrik Kristoffersen has to settle for third. The Norwegian had arrived in Madonna di Campiglio chasing a third consecutive victory, a feat that would have earned him a unique place in the history of the Trentino classic.
