Innerhofer surprises everyone in Wengen

Innerhofer, who has not yet achieved a top ten place this season, smashed the best time into the snow on the Lauberhorn on Tuesday. The 37-year-old relegated the two local heroes Stefan Rogentin and Beat Feuz to second and third place. However, the gap between the two Swiss on the longest downhill route in the world was only 7 and 14 hundredths of a second, respectively. Feuz in particular is considered a hot commodity in Wengen, as he has already won the Lauberhorn descent three times. But Innerhofer has also proven in the past that he can be extremely fast in Wengen. “Inner” ended up in third place in the downhill 10 years ago and even on the top podium a year later. Full program at the Lauberhorn Dominik Paris also had a solid ride. The Ultner lost 1,52 seconds to Innerhofer and took 11th place in the first training session. Paris wants to defend its lead in the Downhill World Cup in Wengen. There he is currently 10 points ahead of the Austrian Matthias Mayer, who came 4th on Tuesday. As always, the training results should be viewed with caution, as some runners usually do not reveal their cards yet. The third South Tyrolean, Riccardo Tonetti, crossed the finish line 5,87 seconds behind. The final training continues in Wengen on Wednesday. The Super-G is on the program on Thursday before the two downhill runs take place on Friday and Saturday. It starts at 12.30 p.m. At the end of the long weekend at the Lauberhorn, the slalom takes place on Sunday (10.15/13.30). 1. Downhill training in Wengen Pos Name Country Time 1.
