Second in Wengen: Paris takes the Lauberhorn

Beat Feuz knows the Lauberhorn descent like the back of his hand. The victory in the 90th edition of the Wengen classic is his fifth podium finish among the impressive views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Feuz was at the top three times and came second twice. Now the Swiss has struck again and has taken the overall leader's red jersey from Dominik Paris in the downhill rankings. With the victory, Feuz equaled the record of Franz Bracke, who had also achieved three Wengen victories.

Paris beats Dreßen in the fight for second place Paris will be able to get over it, the joy of the first podium finish in Wengen predominates. On the shortened route (due to heavy snowfall during the night we started at the combination start) the South Tyrolean did not show a flawless ride, but as usual he showed no mercy and finished just ahead of Thomas Dreßen in second place. The German was only two hundredths slower than Paris and shows shortly before Kitzbühel that he is finally back at the top of the world after a torn cruciate ligament.

For Peter Fill, however, these times are over. The man from Castelrotto continues to struggle with physical problems pointed a few days ago that his successful career is coming to an end. Even in Wengen, Fill never got up to speed; overall, the 37-year-old lost almost two and a half seconds. Emanuele Buzzi experienced a moment of shock, as he - just like Carlo Janka and veteran Johan Clarey - was only able to avoid a fall with a lot of luck and skill.

Second in Wengen: Paris takes the Lauberhorn

Dominik Paris had never been on the podium in Wengen - until January 18, 2020. The Ultner cracked the Lauberhorn and in the end only had to admit defeat to an outstanding local hero.
