Now things are getting serious: Paris and Innerhofer are attacking

To Marta Bassino's gold ride in the women's Super-G The program at the Alpine Ski World Championships in France will be today (from 11.30 a.m SportNews -Ticker) continued with the first men's speed competition. This guarantees a lot of tension. The big favorites are Marco Odermatt from Switzerland and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde from Norway, who dominate the World Cup. The hunt for his first World Cup medal continues for the Swiss overall World Cup leader. In the Super-G, Odermatt won four of six events this season, Kilde won the other two. The 25-year-old admitted that there was a certain amount of pressure. “I didn’t set the goal in my head. But from the theory and expectations from outside, I can't say that it's not the goal. But stubbornly setting my mind to something is not me, I've never done that before," explained Odermatt. “I’ve never been as ready as I am now.” Aleksander Aamodt Kilde Kilde is also still chasing his first medal at the World Championships. “It's never fixed at a World Cup. You just know that there are people who really give it their all at events like this. But I was never as ready as I am now for downhill and super-G,” said the Norwegian. The medal contenders also include the Austrian defending champion Vincent Kriechmayr, as well as the technically strong Alexis Pinturault (France) and Marco Schwarz (Austria), who showed up in the combination. However, Dominik Paris is in no way inferior to them. The Ultner recently confirmed his improving form with second place in the Super-G in Cortina. He also gets along well with the challenging, shady and sometimes icy L'Eclipse piste in Courchevel, as he does SportNews readers after the Kombi-Super-G in the following audio interview. Paris had still used the suit to train for the Super-G, but now it's all or nothing for him! This motto applies even more to Christof Innerhofer, who is at this World Cup will probably only be used in Super-G. On Wednesday he set an exclamation point with the second fastest time in downhill training. The 2011 Super-G world champion and three-time World Cup medalist knows that he has to deliver on this day and will rush out of the starting gate with the handbrake released. This also applies to the in-form Mattia Casse, who is considered an insider tip and, together with the two South Tyroleans and Guglielmo Bosca, forms Italy's quartet in the Super-G.
