Kitz dress rehearsal with a moment of shock and strong Paris

In the first training session on Wednesday, Dominik Paris crossed the finish line more than 2 seconds behind. The fact that he only presented a fraction of his skills was shown in the dress rehearsal on Thursday: the Ultner finished the final training in 4th place and would probably have ended up further ahead if he hadn't slowed down in the last few meters. One thing is clear: Dominik Paris will be a force to be reckoned with in the two downhill runs on Friday and Saturday as well as the Super-G on Sunday. The hunt for his 5th Golden Chamois is on.

But another Azzurro caused the biggest surprise on Thursday: Matteo Marsaglia ended up in second place. In 2, the Roman native had already attracted attention once in Kitzbühel with a best training time, but in the race itself a 2018th place is his best downhill result. He's definitely one to keep an eye on on Friday and Saturday. The Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr set the fastest time on Thursday, third place also went to an Austrian, Max Franz. Innerhofer fights, Clarey is lucky After the turbulent last few days, Christof Innerhofer completed training in Kitzbühel and is therefore allowed to compete in the downhill runs. However, it was clear to Gaiser that his corona infection from the beginning of January and the associated ten-day quarantine did not leave him unscathed. Innerhofer crossed the finish line more than 3 seconds behind. Meanwhile, Florian Schieder had a good ride: He finished the race in 16th place and was visibly satisfied at the finish.

Johan Clarey fell.

There was also a scary moment in the final training: During the finish jump, the Frenchman Johan Clarey fell and hit the safety fence. Fortunately, this crash went off lightly. “My whole body hurts, but I didn’t suffer any serious injuries,” he said in an ORF interview. Because several athletes - including Dominik Paris - see the finish jump as problematic (Quote Paris: “There is a wave just before the jump”), it could be that improvements are made for the race.

The runs on Friday and Saturday start at 11.30 a.m., the Super-G on Sunday starts at 10.20 a.m. As always, all races can be viewed in the live ticker SportNews be followed.
