The race in the morning once again sees the & rsquo; Italjet on shields. & Egrave; Pietro Vitalini to raise its voice: the & ldquo; his & rdquo; track, the Valtellina takes first career victory, demonstrating how the & rsquo; year before the Olympic Games in Lillehammer only the pressure due to the underdogs (Vitalini had dominated all the time trials) pushed him to commit several mistakes and missed a medal his reach. Bad luck for & ograve; not abandon our bearers even in the day of triumph after 37 descents fact the fog thickens and the match is abandoned. They are 74 members, therefore only half & agrave; has completed the race, therefore returns the same situation of Aspen. The success of Vitalini is put sub judice pending race 2 in the afternoon. The FIS fact, instead of terminating a race that had not pi & ugrave; nothing to say, the second starts with athletes who do not know if the result of the first will come & agrave; approved. Vitalini suffers the situation and, although it is again fighting for the victory, because of nervousness completely misses the final jump, falling into ruin and fainting. & Ldquo; & rdquo Alitalia; confirmation cos & Igrave; the nickname applied to him after the terrible flight Kitzbuhel, and when risveglier & agrave; is beign & agrave; with a bruised knee and with the mockery of a double failure to win: Race 1 is not approved, sends him to race 2 & rsquo; hospital. C & rsquo; & egrave; for & ograve; always the tricolor on the podium at the end of what will & agrave; l & rsquo; Kvitfjell downhill only valid for the World Cup: Kristian Ghedina is beaten only by Kyle Rasmussen, popped out of the fog when the & rsquo; Ampezzo seemed gi & agrave; sure winner. For l & rsquo; American & egrave; the second victory after the one in Wengen, and these two will also be his only career triumphs in the World Cup. The podium & egrave; completed by Patrick Ortlieb, before reviving Daniel Mahrer and usually Armin Assinger, while Werner Perathoner remaining extremely comfortable on & rsquo; Olympiabakken finishing sixth; Good also the result of Alessandro Fattori, fourteenth. With 80 points gleaned, Ghedina bypasses officially Luc Alphand rated specialty & agrave; presenting to the finals in Bormio with the yellow bib, which will come & agrave; introduced just in & rsquo; final act of the World Cup 1994-95 and that will turn & agrave; then in the red bib still used. But how many points did margin? You will know & agrave; only two days later, when the FIS officially announced that the slopes in Aspen and the first of Kvitfjell are not approved. Ghedina, who could boast more & ugrave; 90 points to handle the French and someone less over the Austrians Assinger and Ortlieb, however, not suitable for a track like the Stelvio, finds himself with 49 points margin, booty still valuable in view of & rsquo; last and decisive race on home snow . Nothing changes in the overall standings, with Alberto Tomba boasting 350 points on Jure Ko & scaron; ir and 380 of Marc Girardelli, only two still mathematically able to overcome the Bolognese. But Slovenian non disputer & agrave; tests faster, while the & rsquo; Austro Luxembourg should win all four races in Bormio hoping Tomb does not come between the first fifteen n & eacute; in slalom n & eacute; in giant. In short, even the math is going to deliver to Alberto crystal ball. DESCENT KVITFJELL March 11, 1995 & ndash; FINAL STANDINGS 1. & nbsp; RASMUSSEN Kyle (USA) 1: 37.10 2.
