Brutally awesome! Paris double in Bormio

Dominik Paris took to the icy slopes with the high starting number 16 and was not error-free in the upper part of the route (only 16th split). From the traverse and the San Pietro jump onwards, he fired up the turbo - similar to the downhill run on Friday. When entering the finish slope, Paris was second, 33 hundredths behind the leading Olympic champion Matthias Mayer from Austria. With a merciless ride over the last section of the route, the 29-year-old secured his fourth victory in Bormio with a minimal lead of one hundredth of a second over Mayer. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde from Norway came third (+0,46 seconds).

Also in 2012, only 0,01 seconds ahead For Dominik Paris it is the eleventh World Cup victory of his career, drawing level with slalom ace Giorgio Rocca. By the way, Paris also celebrated his first victory in Bormio: in 2012 he won the downhill at the same time as Hannes Reichelt; Aksel Lund Svindal came third, 0,01 seconds behind. So far, Paris has one Super-G victory to his name, in 2015 he won in Kitzbühel with a lead of 0,06 seconds over Matthias Mayer. Innerhofer makes a mistake The last race of 2018 began with a moment of shock for Christof Innerhofer. The Gaiser went into the Super-G with starting number 1 and got stuck with his right hand at the fifth goal. With great difficulty, the runner-up on Friday was able to avoid a fall. With anger in his stomach, “Inner” put everything on one card, but at the finish line he couldn't score a goal and was eliminated.

The race was overshadowed by a serious fall by the Norwegian Stian Saugestad, who flew into the safety nets at the entrance to the traverse and had to be flown to the hospital by rescue helicopter. The young Austrian Daniel Hemetsberger was also thrown off the “Stelvio”. Meanwhile, it became known that Klemen Kosi, who had a serious fall during the descent on Friday, was able to leave the hospital and begin his journey home. Paris ends the Austrian series With his victory, Dominik Paris ended the series of Austrian winners in the Super-G in Bormio: At the premiere in 1995, Richard Kröll (AUT) won ahead of the two South Tyroleans Peter Runggaldier and Werner Perathoner. In 2000, four ÖSV runners finished the Super-G on the podium: winner Hermann Maier, Fritz Strobl in second place, and the two third-place finishers Werner Franz (cousin of Max Franz) and Andreas Schifferer. 10 years ago, in 2008, Hannes Reichelt (AUT) won, ahead of Didier Defago (SUI) and the Slovenian Ales Gorza.

The “Azzurri” Emanuele Buzzi (24th) and Mattia Casse (26th) finished in the points, while Matteo Marsaglia, Alexander Prast from Bolzano, Davide Cazzaniga and Federico Paini missed the top 30.
