Last test of descent towards the combined, there are 19: Kriechmayr in front, for what it counts ...

This morning a last training almost useless, many athletes (including Innerhofer, the only blue) at rest before tomorrow's race that will award the medals.

A third downhill test (officially the fourth, but we must remember the one canceled after just three athletes last Saturday) in the men's combined perspective on Thursday, when starting at 3.30 with the speed heats, which will anticipate the 7.15 slalom, yes will award medals in the third Olympic competition for men. And there will be just thirty athletes registered (at 10.00 today the captains' meeting will begin with the subsequent assignment of bibs), confirming that the FIS must do something to relaunch, given that the intention appears to be that, a historical discipline and which assigns still medals at major events, despite not having seen him in the World Cup for two years. Only 19 showed up at the gate for today's training, as the various Mayer, Kilde, Cochran-Siegle, Meillard and Christof Innerhofer himself, the only blue who will take part in the combined, preferred to rest after having played downhill and super -g within 24 hours. Times are not very indicative, even if in front there is Vincent Kriechmayr who is looking for some answers, despite having very few chances with the slalom, after never having found the ideal feeling with Yanqing's “Rock”. Marco Schwarz, second at 69 cents from his compatriot, is certainly one of the candidates for medals even though he starts in the prediction behind Pinturault (who fell 7th to 2 ”02 today) and Meillard. Jocher and then again Austria with Haaser and Strolz for the top ten of a training that saw Trevor Philp, a very interesting outsider for the podium area, sixth at 1 ”72.
