Christof Innerhofer is Italian champion again

On the short route (only 59 seconds travel time) Christof Innerhofer left everyone behind. The 38-year-old drove the best time in all sections and in the end was almost 7 tenths of a second ahead of second-placed Pietro Zazzi. Guglielmo Bosca and Mattia Casse came third (+0,75). Innerhofer celebrated a successful end to a season that otherwise didn't go as planned: He only finished in the top 10 once in the World Cup this year. The Gaiser had already won the Italian downhill championship title in 2016 and 2018. Last year's winner Dominik Paris got off to a good start, but lost a lot of time in the lower section and finished 1,33th, 7 seconds behind. Florian Schieder was disqualified after a big mistake. The third-best South Tyrolean was Max Perathoner, just 20 years old, who came in 12th. The performance of Tobias Kastlunger, who, as a technician with the high number 53, finished in 15th place, was also remarkable. Surprise winner The South Tyroleans were denied victory in the women's race, but at least a local athlete, Nicol Delago, climbed onto the podium. In the absence of the superstars (Elena Curtoni, Sofia Goggia, Federica Brignone, Laura Pirovano and Marta Bassino were missing), Monica Zanoner from Trentino won her first Italian championship title. The only 17-year-old Ludovica Righi, who is considered a great speed talent, achieved a sensational second place (+ 2). Behind him was Delago, who lost 0,21 hundredths to Zanoner's time. 28-year-old Sara Thaler from St. Ulrich narrowly missed the podium in fourth place. Third best South Tyrolean was Teresa Runggaldier in 18th place. Nadia Delago did not take part in the race. The men's result: Pos Name Time 1. Christoph Innerhofer 59,93 seconds 2. Pietro Zazzi + 0,67 3. Guglielmo Bosca + 0,75 3. Mattia Casse + 0,75 5. Nicoló Molteni + 1,25 7. dominik paris +1,33 12. Max Perathoner +1,69 15. Tobias Kastlunger + 2,26 29.
