Paris and Innerhofer ready for the Super-G

With the men's Super-G (Wednesday from 13.30 p.m. in the SportNews live ticker), South Tyrol's ski aces will also start the world championships. The last few days, especially for Christof Innerhofer, were anything but optimal preparation for the World Cup. The journey to Åre, Sweden, became an odyssey (see own report) .

“The problematic journey obviously bothered me, but now it’s time to stop thinking about it,” says Christof Innerhofer. The preparation was anything but ideal, also because a large part of the material had not yet arrived. “Luckily, now I have everything. On this slope, with these snow conditions, high speeds are possible, I like that,” emphasizes the Gaiser.

However, things would change if visibility was poor, “that makes the race much more difficult,” says Innerhofer. What does he expect? “We will know more on Wednesday from 12.30 p.m.,” said “Inner”.

Paris is hoping for a long haul It wasn't a normal journey for Dominik Paris either. However, he and Beat Feuz were lucky to catch a flight from Innsbruck to Östersund on Saturday. “I couldn’t do anything on Sunday because my equipment hadn’t arrived yet,” says Paris.

He hopes that the race will not take place on a shortened route. “The wind is blowing, but I still hope that we start from the top. A long route suits me better, but anything can happen here,” said the Ultner. He sees the athletes “from the surrounding area” as favorites, but also the Austrians. But at a World Cup, like at the Olympics, it is important to have a whole range of ski racers on the list. Feuz opened Beat Feuz opens the race with start number 1. Dominik Paris starts the race with number 3, Christof Innerhofer has start number 18.
