Kitz dress rehearsal: South Tyroleans let it rip

The Austrian Hannes Reichelt set the best training time, but with Dominik Paris (+0,36 seconds) and Christof Innerhofer (+0,61, at the same time as Adrien Theaux), there are two South Tyroleans in the immediate vicinity: Paris came in third, Innerhofer in fifth place.

The Italian Matteo Marsaglia, who started training with starting number 51, sensationally took second place. Austrian Daniel Danklmaier's fourth place was also notable: he won the European Cup on Monday on the Streif and made people sit up and take notice with third place in the first training session. Paris and Innerhofer are ready Of the South Tyroleans, Paris in particular has an ideal feeling with the most spectacular piste in the ski circus: if he hadn't let off the accelerator in the last few meters and driven upright to the finish, he would probably have set the best training time. But even so, it is clear that the double winner from Bormio is one of the top favorites for the descent on Friday.

Of course, Innerhofer, who finished fifth, is also a force to be reckoned with. However, the better results for Gaiser in Kitzbühel were not in the downhill, but in the Super G: “Inner” raced onto the podium there in 2017 (2nd) and 2013 (3rd). Paris, on the other hand, has already won the downhill twice, came second once and also won the Super G once.

Werner Heel made an exclamation mark: The Passeirer took a good 35th place with start number 14. Florian Schieder also had a strong training run: the Castelrotto native finished the training in 20th place. The schedule On Friday the downhill is on the program from 11.30 a.m., on Saturday there is the slalom (9.30 a.m. first round, 12.30 p.m. second round).
