Dominik Paris' amusing anecdote about the Bormio hit

Because of the heavy snowfall, the one scheduled for Monday was canceled Super-G will not be held in Bormio . On Tuesday from 11.30 a.m. the time will come: Then the speed stars will take on the fight against the Stelvio. First in the Super-G and then on Wednesday in the downhill. A ski ace is particularly motivated. For Dominik Paris, Bormio is something like his personal living room. He won 6 of his 18 World Cup victories on the icy, steep and sometimes brutal Stelvio. This year we can be particularly excited about Paris: After tearing his cruciate ligament a year ago, he wasn't quite his old self at the first races of the season in Val Gardena and Val d'Isére - also because these slopes don't necessarily suit him. Is the knot now bursting on his favorite route of all places? Last year, the 31-year-old was crowned King of Bormio when he won both descents and thus achieved an unusual double. “On my first Bormio descent I finished 14 seconds behind.” dominik paris The Stelvio was not one of his favorite slopes when he was younger in Paris. “2008,” he told the Journal of Sport , “I drove in Bormio for the first time, back then as a forerunner. It was so difficult. The slope was icy, the skis rattled, it was raining and the thermometer showed 10 degrees below 0. I said to myself at the time, 'Okay, just try to finish somehow.'" The result? “In my very first Bormio descent – it was a training session – I lost 14 seconds to the fastest of the day.” At that time, Paris could not have imagined that a true romance would develop between him and Stelvio. The raw numbers show how much he likes this slope: He completed a total of 8 downhill runs and super-Gs on the Stelvio and was crowned winner 6 times. So it will be interesting to see how the Ultner powerhouse will handle its Stelvio on Tuesday and Wednesday. The start numbers of the Super-G (11.30 a.m.) start list super-g bormio 2020 (pdf)
