Innerhofer shows his claws on the bird of prey slope

Christof Innerhofer feels at home in Beaver Creek. He won the downhill here in 2012, and here he regularly races into the top 10. And in the first training session on Wednesday, “Inner” also showed that the raptor slope – in the original “Birds of Prey” – suits him. He set the second best training time, beaten only by the Austrian Otmar Striedinger, who was 40 hundredths of a second faster than Gaiser. Third place in training was taken by Broderick Thompson, who started with number 3 and thus showed that he will also be someone to watch out for in the race. The big favorites took it easy in the first test run. Matthias Mayer ended up in 8th place, Beat Feuz was 10th, Vincent Kriechmayr 11th, while Marco Odermatt took 15th place. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who won the first downhill of the season in Lake Louise, skied down in tourist mode and accumulated a gap of 15 seconds. Paris cannot be seen in the cards And South Tyrol's hottest iron in the fire, Dominik Paris, didn't show his hand either. The Ultner, who made it onto the podium once in Beaver Creek, appears in 20th place in the final rankings. Florian Schieder, who is making his comeback season this year after tearing his cruciate ligament, ended up in 36th place. Also worth mentioning: The strong placing of the Italian Mattia Casse, who indicated the potential for a surprise with his 5th place. Another training session is scheduled for Thursday, after which things get serious. There will be a downhill run on Friday (18.15:18 p.m.) and Saturday (18 p.m.) before a Super-G takes place on Sunday (XNUMX p.m.). 1. Training in Beaver Creek, the top 10 Pos Name Country Time 1.
