The wait is over for Paris and Innerhofer

Both had been suffering from a torn cruciate ligament for a long time. While Paris was hit in January of this year, Innerhofer suffered the serious knee injury in March 2019 - although he only competed in two races last season. Now the real comeback should take place together with Paris. It starts with the Super-G at 10.30 a.m. Innerhofer and Paris are starting with starting numbers 10 and 11. Two other South Tyroleans, Riccardo Tonetti and Alexander Prast, are also there in the French Alps. But it's their turn later, namely 35th and 39th. The departure follows on Sunday at the same time. Innerhofer was not entirely satisfied with the training runs The athletes already had this on Friday morning second downhill training on the program. Innerhofer wasn't 100 percent satisfied: "Yesterday (Thursday) my training was okay until I made a mistake in the penultimate corner and almost retired," Gaiser analyzed. “Today (Friday) I tried to step up a gear but couldn’t. The visibility was poor and I wasn't able to get the little bit more I needed.” All in all, Innerhofer is optimistic: “I'm driving pretty well so far, but it's nothing special yet. I want to improve with every attempt and always give my all.” “I want to improve with every attempt and always give my all.” Christoph Innerhofer The only thing that worries the athletes about the Super-G is the fresh snow. “It has started snowing and the French say a lot could come. The line for the descent is nice, but it gets a little more difficult for the Super-G. If you get out of line, the piste becomes soft and difficult with the new snow,” says Matteo Marsaglia, who did well in training.
