A track waiting to be discovered, a test with a thousand unknowns and clearly many surprises, starting with Rogentin (who, however, did very well this season) and above all the Iberian Extezarreta, second ahead of Christof Innerhofer.
The 37-year-old from Gais was clearly the best of the three Azzurri who on Sunday will go to the attack of the medals on Yanqing's "Rock", in an Olympic descent that "Inner" was able to interpret immediately well, even if he skipped a door in the crucial passage on the first jump of a really tough slope. "Already in the reconnaissance I liked the track and the snow - explained the South Tyrolean champion to Rai Sport microphones after the training - I am happy to ski here because it is fun, there are few stretches of pure smoothness and instead many curves, such as I like it".
Still at the microphone of Ettore Giovannelli, sent to China, here are the thoughts of Dominik Paris, who finished 27th at 1 ”89 from the summit, but without jumping the door and starting with the No. 3, when really the references were very few. “I struggled a bit, there are many hidden doors behind the waves, it is not easy to find the lines but with two more tests I hope to understand everything well.
The snow is easy enough, but we will see how much it shines, the wind will certainly be a factor; here the winner will be whoever has a lot of hair on his stomach and a little luck will also be needed ”.
Finally Matteo Marsaglia, 21st at 1 ”63 and quite confident:“ It is a track to be interpreted, with various bumps and blind doors, but it turned out to be easier than expected. Not very difficult, but fun and the snow is not bad ".
