“Given everything”: Happy Paris beams in Wengen

Before he started, Dominik Paris had definitely thought he had a chance of winning. The Ultner had followed the journey of Beat Feuz, who had already been favored in advance, on TV and identified one or two opportunities to make up time on the Swiss. However, Paris made some inaccuracies in the upper part. "I gave everything. But in the Hundschopf I made a mistake and left too much time behind,” explained the leader of the discipline rankings in a statement from FISI.

Nevertheless, after his mistakes, he managed an unprecedented comeback, allowing him to take a few tenths off Feuz. “After that I was able to drive as I had planned. The result of this has been seen. I’m very happy because I always struggled in Wengen.” Kriechmayr and the mentality victory A few days before the start in Wengen, Vincent Kriechmayr received the bad news. Due to his infection with the coronavirus, the Upper Austrian was unable to take part in the training trips in Switzerland. Although this had no effect on his start in the Super G, he could have avoided the two descents. However, an exemption freed the world champion from the anxious wait . “Today I tried to show everything I’ve got with the ‘now more than ever’ mentality.” Vincent Kriechmayr While he was in 12th place in the first descent, Kriechmayr improved enormously on Saturday secured his first win of the season with a truly fabulous run . “We've seen in the last few races that if you're not completely at your limit, you won't win anything,” he explained his performance boost. He was particularly stimulated by the hustle and bustle surrounding him in the past few days. “Today I tried to show everything I've got with the 'more now' mentality. It’s crazy that it works like this.” Janka's emotional farewell For Carlo Janka, however, it was the last appearance in the ski circuit.
