The third place gained by Dominik Fischnaller at the end of today's day that opened the Beijing 2022 program for sledding, with the first two runs of the men's single, lights up hope for a potential medal for the South Tyrolean, already brilliant in the official training in recent days, before cousin Kevin's cousin Kevin's tile of positivity arrived at Covid.
Speaking to physi.org, in addition to telling the dynamics of the two descents, Dominik also makes a comparison with the Korean Olympics where he lost the bronze by a whisker. “In PyeongChang the first two heats were not good, today in the first I didn't risk, trying to make as few mistakes as possible and perhaps this is why I lacked time a bit. In the second I risked more, making two mistakes, but quite irrelevant since with Ludwig and Kindl the weather was similar.
Tomorrow I will have to do as well as today; three tenths of a disadvantage are recoverable if I manage to do well, perhaps taking advantage of some mistakes of my opponents. The sled responds well, I haven't changed since I've been here: I feel good and I like the track ”. Fischnaller has the opportunity of being able to hit the first Olympic medal in his career, he who has obtained 29 podiums in the World Cup.
Leon Felderer was also satisfied despite a few too many mistakes, close to the top ten, a result he was aiming for on Sunday. “The first heat a little better, but not too good. I made small mistakes after turns one and six, tomorrow I will have to do two good descents and then we will see where I am, ”he told FISI.
