This is what South Tyrol's chances are at the World Ski Championships

dominik paris Just in time for the World Cup, he shook off the crisis with second place in the Super-G in Cortina. He's still not one of the top favorites for precious metal, but he has the class and speed to reach the podium in the downhill and super-G. Paris is still the undisputed number 2 in Italy's men's team. If he has the trust, he can still keep up with Kilde, Odermatt and Kriechmayr.

His season hasn't gone as planned so far either. In 8 World Cup slaloms he only finished three times. And because he is not among the top 15 on the World Cup start list, he is somewhat dependent on fair conditions in the World Cup slalom on race day. In terms of potential, he certainly has the opportunity to reach the podium. He has shown this many times. Maybe he saved his best race of the winter for the World Championships. Florian Schieder

The Castelrotto is certainly the newcomer of the year among South Tyroleans. After the continuation of his career hung by a thread due to complications following a torn cruciate ligament, he wanted to get back into the swing of things in his comeback season. But he caught up quickly and not only impressed with second place in the first Kitzbühel downhill run. If he gets used to the route, he can be a dangerous outsider on the descent.

She is South Tyrol's only woman at this World Championships, and has probably not yet secured her starting place in the downhill. She hasn't finished in the top ten since 7th place in Lake Louise. She has the speed, but she kept making mistakes. She wasn't called up for the combination, even though she's a pretty good combiner. Her sister Nadia failed to qualify for the World Cup a year after winning bronze at the Olympics. Christoph Innerhofer

His World Cup participation was questionable for a long time. Only with 10th place in the 2nd Super-G in Cortina did he finally secure his World Cup ticket. Overall, the veteran's season has been disappointing so far, although he has repeatedly shown in training that he can still do it. The 2011 Super-G world champion can use his great experience in his 8th World Cup participation. He knows how to win medals, but it is not very likely that he is capable of it at the moment. Tobias Kastlunger

At the age of 23, the Enneberger makes his World Cup debut. He owes this to his 10th place at the start of the slalom in Val d'Isere. On Saturday in Chamonix he showed again what a fast slalom turn he has, but a serious mistake cost him a top placing in the first run. Kastlunger will not only compete in the slalom in Courchevel, but will also be in action in the combination tomorrow.

“Only” a quarter of Italy’s team for the Alpine Ski World Cup comes from South Tyrol, namely 6 out of 24 World Cup participants. There have been better times. And the medal chances are also likely to be modest. Below is an overview of the opportunities for South Tyroleans.
