After the first pass of the giant slalom competition was Filip Zubcic in ninth place and looked like someone who could very well tease the very best in the World Cup department of the Italian Alta Badia on Sunday.
But kroaten ended on the tenth, which perhaps reflects his place in the strong field, but that very well could have been better, had it not been for a big knollert of an official.
For as Zubcic like a herd of buffaloes at a watering hole came thundering towards the finish line, went there, suddenly a man at the finish line. As if nothing had happened, and he just had to to the grocery store for a liter of milk.

This article writer has not been skiing on the level, and are not aware of, how much, a world-class skier as Zubcic look at the distance, but the 26-year-old croat dodged at the last moment, when he got turned right on tumpen.
– Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, what in all the world, it came surprised from the Norwegian NRK’s commentator, Thomas Lerdahl.
Zubcic came down in pace and turned around at the end of the target area to immediately look for the person that now had come a few steps further. Exactly what Zubcic said, is not published.
And perhaps it is very good.
But the fact is, as skilegenden Kjetil André Aamodt noted in the tv studio, to Zubcic in all probability have got shaved some hundredths of his time because of the incident.

And it is usually the difference between success and failure in the sport.
– He was not happy, it is fatal. A strange turn, and he must swing to the side there. It is perhaps the the hundredth, which he loses to the Norwegian skiers, said Aamodt.
the General was a weekend marked by poor conditions because of rain, fog, and sleet, and the winner of the storslalomkonkurrencen, Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen, explained subsequently that he would not have been on the ski, if it had been an ordinary training.
– It is the toughest giant slalom, I have been running. It is quite on the border, but we’re pretty good skiers, so it went, he said.
There was a second between the top ten front – from Kristoffersen for Zubcic.
