Tomorrow (4.00 Italian time) back on track, with the first blue at the start with number 2, just before the Norwegian who is now fastest of all. Bib number 7 for Paris, 20 for Marsaglia.

With less wind expected than in today's training, and so it should be for the big day, or Sunday morning, it's time for a new eve towards the third and final test of the Olympic downhill for men.
Saturday (4.00 Italian time, live on Eurosport Player), on the Yanqing "Rock", perhaps we will understand something more about the values that can be expressed in the first match of these Beijing Games, given that the first two days have shuffled the cards, albeit with some certainty. Like the one that sees Aleksander Aamodt Kilde always very fast: the Norwegian was drawn with the number 3 for tomorrow's timed test, starting immediately after Matthias Mayer, who caught the 1 as in Thursday's training, and Christof Innerhofer who will come out from the gate per second.
The South Tyrolean is there, he proved it in practice, but the rivals could be many in this context: while Franz (bib 4) will play in the last training the fourth bib at the Austrian home in comparison with Striedinger, Beat Feuz (5) can go quiet, as well as Dominik Paris (n ° 7) who, however, pushed today, finishing 5th, and maybe in a few hours he will think about saving himself a little, although it is still important to test lines and feeling with this snow, given the very little experience accumulated.
James Crawford (8), who represents a bugbear for many, will precede a second part of the first group of twenty with Hintermann (13), Kriechmayr (15), Odermatt, hitherto very hidden and tomorrow starting with 17, Hemetsberger with 19 and finally Matteo Marsaglia with 20, the third and last Italian at the start since for Mattia Casse, who arrived in Beijing in the last few hours as a "reserve", there could be at most one (hypothetical) chance for the super-g.

L'aumento dei Mondiali e le prime opposizioni da Austria e Germania: Il rischio è di svilirne il significato, ma non solo
La notizia di due giorni fa, con la FIS pronta ad organizzare i campionati del mondo di ogni disciplina pure negli anni pari non olimpici, ha scatenato reazioni anche da parte di due federazioni importanti come OESV e DSV. Dall'Austria fanno sapere che al neo presidente Ospelt era stato indicato parere sfavorevole, pur rendendosi disponibili per la rassegna iridata a St. Anton nel 2033, in data classica. E anche un campionissimo come Klaebo è scettico...
