In Sölden, the second run will be set by the German technical coach Albert Doppelhofer.

He coaches Germany's Felix Neureuther, who finished third in Sölden last season.

Doppelhofer was the course setter of the second run in Sölden in 2014.

France's Alexis Pinturault won the men's giant slalom event in Sölden last season while Switzerland's Lara Gut took victory in the women's.
