“Too far” and “at the limit”: noise in Kitzbühel

The huge finish jump on the Streif was fatal for the Swiss and he fell horribly. He was later diagnosed with severe injuries from head to knee. Previously, the American Ryan Cochran-Siegle slipped on the traverse, but was not seriously injured.

The finish jump has been discussed more frequently in the last few days, which is why Kryenbühl's fall naturally caused criticism. Beat Feuz vented his anger ORF -Interview free rein: “The jump is simply too far. It's been an issue for three days, you fly 60 to 70 meters - it doesn't have to be that way." That Feuz is his first victory on the Streif celebrated and was allowed to receive his first golden chamois, something was lost.

Paris between criticism and emotions Dominik Paris also agreed with Feuz: “The jumps are at the limit. I think they will improve something there.” The Ultner also added that “in Kitzbühel you are always exposed to a risk when you push yourself to the limit,” but that “makes the Streif all the more beautiful.”

The Friday descent in Kitzbühel was a complete success for Paris. With third place, the Ultner returned to the podium for the first time. “I won’t forget this day. To be back on the podium here, of all places, a year after my injury is very emotional.”

Innerhofer struggles Christof Innerhofer is not satisfied. Innerhofer remained in 22nd place and over three seconds behind the winner Beat Feuz his start in Kitzbühel was up in the air for a long time , falls short of expectations. “The result not only hurts my legs, but also my heart. I just don't have the energy. Even if your head wants to, your legs won’t cooperate,” explained the disappointed Gaiser after the race.
