“First a baby run, then a bad slope” – criticism from Paris

The Ultner Super-G world champion Dominik Paris led the field in the World Championships combined after the downhill, but like the other speed specialists he couldn't do anything in the slalom and ultimately had to settle for ninth place (click here for the race report) . Now Paris is sharply criticizing: “The slope was terrible. It was the third World Championships in a row with such poor conditions in the combined slalom. Those who started earlier had a big advantage.”

It was very difficult for the downhill riders to have a say in the top places. “First there was a baby run, then the slalom on such a bad slope,” said Paris. He had already pointed out before the race that the slopes were getting worse and worse. The World Cup is now over for the Ultner. “I’m overjoyed with how the World Championships went overall,” said the Super-G World Champion. Tonetti narrowly misses the podium Slalom specialist Riccardo Tonetti had a lot of bad luck. He narrowly missed out on a medal in fourth place. “Of course I could have done better. But I think I delivered a good race in both the slalom and the downhill,” emphasized the native of Bolzano. Of course, it is annoying that just 21 hundredths of a second were missing from a medal. “In the end, it was a disadvantage that we had a relatively good downhill run. “The later start in the slalom on the increasingly poor slope was not ideal,” Tonetti also criticized the conditions.

There was nothing to gain for Christof Innerhofer, fourth place after the descent. Gaiser was eliminated in the slalom. “The slalom course in a combination could be a little more neutral. This time the French coach has chosen a difficult course. The goals were very tight,” emphasized Innerhofer.

But Innerhofer is also not satisfied with his downhill performance. A small mistake cost him a few fractions of a second. “To win a medal you need the perfect day. “Unfortunately I didn’t have that,” Innerhofer summed it up.
