Qualifying in the top 6 – Widmann wants to attack on Sunday

The “Black Snake”, the downhill route in Commezzadura on the Sulzberg, is one of the most difficult in the World Cup. This weekend the world champions will be crowned on this infamous descent. But before the eagerly awaited final runs take place on Sunday, the qualification runs took place on Friday. Veronika Widmann from Tramin landed in 4.19th place with a time of 6 minutes. She achieved the sixth best time in both the first section and the second. Widmann was 2 seconds behind the fastest in the qualification, the Austrian Valentina Höll. The French Myriam Nicole came in second place (+8,342), while the Swiss Camille Blanche (+2) took third place. Eleonora Farina (+1,07) came in 3th as the best Azzurra. Widmann, who is part of the extended circle of medal contenders, would like to attack on Sunday and have a say in the top places. She already demonstrated in 2,1 that the 4,6-year-old has the “Black Snake” in her heart: Back then, she took third place in the World Cup qualifying at Sulzberg and fourth place in the final. Of course, the big favorites are now different, especially the young Austrian Höll. She recently made people sit up and take notice several times in the Downhill World Cup. In mid-June she took second place in the final in Leogang. In mid-August, the 2-year-old was the fastest in qualifying in Maribor. Höll had already won the qualification at her home World Championships in Leogang last year, but was then injured in a training fall and was unable to compete in the final. World Cup leader Nicole and World Cup defending champion Blanche are also gold candidates. A total of 19 women will be competing in the final on Sunday, starting at 30 p.m. Alber survives Quali Rittner Hannes Alber finished the qualification on Friday with a time of 3.49,104:52 minutes in 3.32,440nd place. The fastest in the qualification was the Frenchman Loris Vergier (0,990:1,506) ahead of the Briton Laurie Greenland (+35) and the Frenchman Antoine Vidal ( +80). As the best Azzurro, Davide Palazzari ended up in 14.10th place. Alber is therefore in the final of the best XNUMX men on Sunday (from XNUMX p.m.).
