A US boy becomes a Bormionator

Ryan Cochran-Siegle's star rose in Val Gardena. After finishing 8th in the Super-G, the 28-year-old from Vermont reached the podium in the downhill for the first time in his career (2nd place). The US boy is not a comment that disappears as quickly as it appears - as the brilliant victory in the Bormio Super-G proves. Cochran-Siegle outclasses everyone Cochran-Siegle already showed signs of his strong form in the downhill training sessions (twice the fastest time). But he probably wouldn't have expected the American to win the Super-G with a lead of 79 hundredths. The competition was also astonished, even though Cochran-Siegle was definitely on the list.

“He had an incredible ride,” summed up runner-up Vincent Kriechmayr in an interview with ORF and didn't quite know how he could lose eight tenths. The Upper Austrian also showed a strong performance and was in the lead by 99 hundredths. But no one could keep up with the flawless performance of Cochran-Siegle, who only finished in the top 10 six times in his career. Adrian Sejersted from Norway came third. Christof Innerhofer & Co. defeated The South Tyroleans had significantly less reason to be happy because nobody had anything to do with the top field. Dominik Paris, who somewhat surprisingly chose the lower starting number 2, was the best Azzurro on the Stelvio. However, the man from Ultimo will not be satisfied with a little more than two seconds behind the winner. Just like Christof Innerhofer, who lost 2,67 seconds. Riccardo Tonetti didn't finish.
