Austrian double victory on the second downhill run in Reinswald

The “Schöneben” slope in Reinswald is getting faster every day. Christopher Neumayer was one and a half seconds faster in his triumph on Thursday than Thomas Biesemeyer in his success the day before. Neumayer was number one in both the upper part of the route and the final section and set an amazing best time of 1.11,21:26 minutes. For the 2018-year-old, it was the fourth European Cup victory of his career. In Reinswald, Neumayer was on the podium for the second time after finishing second in the Super-G in XNUMX.

Second place in today's descent went to Christoph Krenn, who seems to be feeling particularly comfortable in Reinswald this year. The 24-year-old from Göstling in Lower Austria had already finished third on the podium on Wednesday. Krenn lost 0,35 seconds to his teammate Neumayer, but was 0,02 seconds faster than the “Azzurro” Davide Cazzaniga. In the upper part of the route, the 26-year-old from Correzzana achieved the second fastest part time (+0,08), but lost almost three tenths to the eventual winner Neumayer at the bottom. For Cazzaniga it was the second European Cup podium of his career. He achieved his first top 3 result in the second highest racing series in alpine skiing almost exactly a year ago, also coming third in a Reinswald downhill run.

Schieder as the best South Tyrolean in 16th place Florian Schieder took 16th place as the best South Tyrolean. The 23-year-old from Castelrotto was 1,01 seconds behind the day's best time at the finish. The remaining local speed riders came away empty-handed in the second European Cup downhill run in Sarntal.

The two Swiss Lars Rösti and Nils Mani have achieved a rare feat in the three European Cup races so far this week, who were almost always at the same speed. On Thursday they both drove the same time and finished ninth. In the first downhill run on Wednesday, Mani was a hundredth of a second faster than Rösti, but Rösti finished the slalom on Tuesday 0,01 seconds ahead of Mani - which meant that the two Swiss were also ranked fifth in the Alpine Combined at the same time .
