Paris approaches, Caviezel wins

330 days after his last race in Wengen, Dominik Paris made his long-awaited comeback after recovering from a torn cruciate ligament. Although the man from Ultimo clearly missed out on a top placement, his performance can be viewed positively - he came 16th. However, the end result was not the main focus of the Swiss Mauro Caviezel's outstanding victory. Because of the forecast snowfall, the Super-G scheduled for Sunday was brought forward to Saturday. This decision turned out to be the right one, as a descent over the entire distance would probably not have been possible. The world elite competed on a short course that was technically demanding and didn't forgive any mistakes. Paris and Innerhofer solid With light snowfall and poor visibility, Christof Innerhofer and Paris showed a rock-solid ride. However, they did not take the ultimate risk, which meant they were denied a podium finish. The former in particular was able to convince with eighth place and at least left names like Beat Feuz, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Matthias Mayer behind him. Given the difficult last season, in which Innerhofer initially reported back but then concentrated on training, this is an encouraging start to the season. Paris, for its part, was ranked 16th, with the gap to sixth place being just three tenths of a second. >>> Serious fall: Fears for Alexander Prast Meanwhile, Caviezel impressively demonstrated that he has fully recovered from his Achilles tendon rupture in the summer. The 32-year-old chose a tight line, made no mistakes and clearly distanced himself from the competition - apart from second-placed Adrian Smiseth Sejersted. The Norwegian was only a tenth of a second behind the winner Caviezel, who celebrated his first World Cup victory in the 104th race. “It’s unbelievable,” said an overjoyed Caviezel. Christian Walder from Austria completed the podium. The result:
