The special feeling of our 3 speed aces for the Streif

In the last two years, the winner of what is probably the most important World Cup downhill each year came from South Tyrol: in 2016, Peter Fill was included in the list of winners of the Hahnenkamm downhill, and a year ago it was Dominik Paris. But that's not all: 5 years ago, in 2013, the winner of the Streif downhill run was Dominik Paris.

The South Tyroleans have also been at the forefront in the Super-G recently and have been on the winner's podium three times in the last 5 years, once on each podium: Dominik Paris won in 2015, while Christof Innerhofer came third in 2013 and second last year.

The three of them made it into the Kitzbühel Top 33 10 times The number of top 10 places that Fill, Paris and Innerhofer collected in Kitzbühel is no less impressive: the Castelrotto, the Ultner and the Gaiser made it into the top 33 in World Cup races in Kitzbühel no less than 10 times.

Including combination, Peter Fill achieved 14 top 10 places with the 2016 win and a 2nd place in the Super-G 10 years earlier as highlights. Christof Innerhofer achieved 12 top 10 places with the two aforementioned podium places as top results. Finally, Dominik Paris has made it into the top ten seven times so far with the four podium places mentioned above.

Since the 28-year-old Paris probably has more Kitzbühel races ahead of him than the 33-year-old Innerhofer and the 35-year-old Fill, he should also achieve a similar number of top 10 placements as his teammates.

Peter Fill better than Gustav Thöni The importance of this number of top results becomes clear if you leaf back even further in the archive: Gustav Thöni, South Tyrol's best ski racer of all time, was in the top ten in Kitzbühel 12 times with two wins, four second places and two third places. It may be that Thöni didn't have Super-G at his disposal at the time, but on the other hand, as an all-rounder, he also had slaloms and even a giant slalom at his disposal to collect points.

To cut a long story short: Peter Fill, Dominik Paris and Christof Innerhofer will probably also have an important say at the front on Friday and Saturday at the Streif.
