Svindal sets the tone on the Saslong - Fill 7.

Svindal, who has already won two speed races this year, reached the finish on the 3446 meter long course after 1.59,34:1.59,57 minutes and broke the two-minute sound barrier, just like the Americans Steven Nyman (1.59,76:XNUMX) and Travis Ganong (XNUMX:XNUMX) in second and third place. Nyman has already won three times on the Saslong and is now more than ever a contender for a fourth success. With "poker" he would draw level with Kristian Ghedina and Franz Klemm, the two record winners in Val Gardena.

"I skied well and, as always on this piste, there were a lot of jumps. The Ciaslat meadows were again very choppy, but the other jumps didn't go very far. Given the current snow conditions, it probably couldn't accumulate more snow. The piste is in "It's a wonderful situation, the organizers have done a great job. As always, you have to watch out for the South Tyroleans. Peter Fill started the season very well and Werner Heel also made an exclamation mark here. I'm excited to see whether Dominik Paris will come back," said Aksel Lund Svindal recorded in the finish area.

Seventh place went to the best “Azzurro” in the first training session, namely Peter Fill from Castelrotto (+0,81), Werner Heel from Walten in Passeier had the tenth time (+1,16). Siegmar Klotz from Lana also showed a strong performance, finishing 13th. Christof Innerhofer and Dominik Paris took things a little more leisurely during the first test run for the home race.

The second downhill training will take place on Thursday, December 17th from 12.15:XNUMX p.m.
