Christof Innerhofer continues to nibble on the podium

The World Cup dress rehearsal is over! On Saturday, the world's best skiers completed their last race in the Super-G in Garmisch before medals are on the line in this discipline in Cortina on Tuesday. There was reason to celebrate in Bavaria, especially for the Austrians.

Vincent Kriechmayr won the race on the Kandahar and was ultimately 17 hundredths of a second faster than his compatriot Matthias Mayer. The Swiss all-rounder Marco Odermatt ended up in third place, 0,49 seconds behind.

As with the departure on Friday, which Dominik Paris had won , the early starting numbers also made the difference in the Super-G. Kriechmayr started the race with number 5, Mayer with number 3, Odermatt with number 1. Niels Allegre, who appears in fourth place in the final ranking, also left the starting house with number 4. For this reason, the achievements of the South Tyroleans are to be valued even higher. Innerhofer is a model of consistency Because of their position in the world rankings, Christof Innerhofer and Dominik Paris were only numbered 17 and 19, respectively. Nevertheless, Innerhofer in particular showed great performance and moved up to 5th place. Because the conditions were not ideal (although it should be noted that the slope held up better than expected despite the high temperatures), this is a remarkable achievement. For the Gaiser it was the fourth top-5 place in a row, but the breakout onto the podium is still missing. Given its shape, it should only be a matter of time.

Dominik Paris has also worked his way up and appears in eighth place in the final ranking. For the Ultner, it was the best Super-G result of the season, but he still didn't seem completely satisfied at the finish. Nevertheless, Paris gained a lot of self-confidence this weekend for the World Cup in Cortina.

Florian Schieder, on the other hand – just like Riccardo Tonetti – narrowly missed the top 30. The Castelrotto and Bolzano residents are in 32nd and 33rd place in the rankings.
