Exclamation mark in Wengen: The Parisian laugh is back

“If you see the Domme laughing at the finish, then everything is fine,” said Paris in the run-up to this season with his typical smile. However, South Tyrolean ski fans have hardly seen this smile in recent weeks because the 33-year-old was going through an extremely difficult time. 10th place in his living room in Bormio was the best result, otherwise there were only placements from 18th down. But now, of all places, in Wengen, where “Domme” had never really felt comfortable for a long time, the big sign of life came: In the Super-G he finished in a strong 5th place.

When Paris, who started the race with the high starting number 19, swerved off at the finish after a courageous and courageous drive and saw the “5” light up, the Ultner was extremely happy about it. The liberation was successful, the Parisian laugh is finally back! And that also in Super-G, the discipline that hasn't brought the South Tyrolean very much luck recently. In any case, Paris has gained a lot of self-confidence for the big classic on Saturday: the Lauberhorn descent starts at 12.30 p.m.

Paris was 1,17 seconds short of victory on Friday. This was once again grabbed by Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who blew up the Swiss party and prevented a sensational success. Because 27 hundredths of a second behind the Norwegian was Stefan Rogentin, a Swiss who has never been on the podium before and drove the best race of his life on Friday. Third place went to superstar Marco Odermatt, who was 0,66 seconds behind, while fourth place went to Vincent Kriechmayr, who was only seven hundredths of a second faster than Paris in the end.

Innerhofer was lucky, Franzoni was seriously injured Meanwhile, there was a moment of shock for Christof Innerhofer. After a few seconds of driving, the Gaiser made a violent departure and crashed head-on into the safety net ( SportNews berichtete ). Luckily, the veteran was able to quickly give the all-clear and drive to the finish line alone. Meanwhile, things got worse for Giovanni Franzoni, one of Italy's greatest ski talents. He fell almost exactly in the same place as Innerhofer and was seriously injured because he had to be transported away by helicopter.

As a result, the race had to be interrupted for a longer period of time and the wind picked up more and more. Florian Schieder from Castelrotto no longer found good conditions with start number 53, so he ended up in 43rd place.
