Kriechmayr on Paris: “Constantly at the limit”

It's no secret that Dominik Paris has his sights set on winning the Downhill World Cup. The Ultner narrowly failed every year, but this year it should finally work. But Paris isn't the only one keen on the little crystal ball. Vincent Kriechmayr is also aiming for it, as he stated in an APA interview in Wengen: “So far we have not managed to be consistently on the podium. That's why we're far behind in the Downhill World Cup; that can't be our goal. The goal is to ride around a ball.”

“Domme has a hookup every now and then.” Kriechmayr about the South Tyrolean Defending champion Kriechmayr is prepared for the Lauberhorn downhill on Saturday - but: “The two men who have dominated the downhill sport in recent years are in great shape. The first thing we have to do is beat them.” Of course, the two men mean Paris and Beat Feuz. While Feuz as a Wengen specialist (two wins, two second places), the Ultner has never been on the podium in the traditional Swiss resort. “Beat doesn’t make mistakes in the race.” Kriechmayr about the Swiss Nevertheless, Kriechmayr is counting on Paris on Saturday: “With Domme you can see that he has a hitch every now and then, but he is constantly at the limit, constantly pushing.” A crucial factor that the Upper Austrian criticizes about himself: “With me I often notice that I'm pulling back a little bit, that's because the gap is simply too big." Kriechmayr credits the third in the group, local hero Feuz, with absolute perfection in the race: "Beat isn't always fast in training either, But in the race he’s just there and shows his performance and doesn’t make any mistakes.”
