Paris takes the podium in Santa Caterina

At the last Super-G of the 2016 calendar year, Paris was one of the few athletes who took full risks. The South Tyrolean's daring tactics finally worked: With his hussar ride, Paris was initially the fastest - of the following runners, only two of the following runners, the Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud and Hannes Reichelt (Austria), managed to beat the Ultner's time. While Jansrud clinched his third victory in the third Super-G of the season, Paris was able to celebrate third place and thus his 17th podium place in the World Cup. The 27-year-old climbed to the “Stockerl” in Val d'Isère for the second time this season.

In the interview after the race, Paris was in a great mood. “This third place is a real relief after the disappointing weekend in Val Gardena. The right feeling has returned and I drove well again today,” said the visibly satisfied Ultner into the ORF microphones.

Innerhofer and Fill without a sense of success The Super-G didn't go as planned for Christof Innerhofer and Peter Fill. Innerhofer couldn't keep up with the fastest from the start and didn't finish higher than 18th place. However, Innerhofer is still a force to be reckoned with on tomorrow's descent: the 32-year-old set a superior best time in his only training session - he now wants to confirm this performance in the race. Peter Fill even lost over three seconds to winner Jansrud in today's Super-G. The Castelrotto native, who was apparently struggling with material problems, clearly missed out on a place in the points. Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano (rank 52) also came away empty-handed.
