After l & rsquo; unforgettable weekend in Whistler, during which the & rsquo; Italijet celebrated the victories of Kristian Ghedina downhill and super-G in Peter Runggaldier, back cos & Igrave; in Europe, as the & rsquo; other North American leg of Aspen is conditioned by the weather: the super-G is deleted and the descent is interrupted after they had started in 31.
In head c & rsquo; was AJ Kitt, one of the men pi & ugrave; in the form of the moment as the second-place finish in super-G in Whistler, on the podium Armin Assinger and Lasse Kjus, while the fifth place Ghedina and the fourteenth of Luc Alphand would have allowed all & rsquo; Ampezzo to jump to the lead of the classification of specialty & agrave ;. Then for & ograve; after the fall of Asgeir Linberg, bib number 31, the race is long and interrupted when he had to leave the fog does not allow to bring down the kids safe. The regulation says that a race can & ograve; be approved only if they left two-thirds of the members, within the 31 (out of 67) who opened the gate to Aspen, but some federations are calling and asking l & rsquo; approval of the race. It comes cos & Igrave; Kvitfjell with the result still sub judice, but the FIS to take no chances scheduled four races, two super-G and two downhills, the original ones and those not played in Aspen.
It starts on Friday & Igrave; with the first super-G and & egrave; l & rsquo; yet another triumph blue wins fact Werner Perathoner, the first success of his career. For l & rsquo; & egrave Tyrolean; a result that confirms his feeling with the track & ograve hosp; l & rsquo; year before the Olympics in Lillehammer: Perathoner came fifth in the super-G after being ruled not without controversy by the quartet of the descent, specialty & agrave; where he would have probably pi & ugrave; chances to medal. Second place went to the square Kristian Ghedina, with Alessandro Fattori sixth, seventh and Peter Peter Runggaldier Vitalini eighth. A result of the extraordinary team, definitely the best ever in this discipline for what must be considered the & rsquo; Italjet pi & ugrave; strongest of all time. Not only getting the third consecutive win in the speed disciplines, l & rsquo; Italy hits a hat-trick never failed before n & eacute; much less matched later.
In the midst of our are placed Kyle Rasmussen, third and first podium in World Cup super-G, Daron Rahlves, fourth and & ndash; provisionally & ndash; his best career result on the track that consacrer & agrave; among the big names of the speed disciplines, and G & uuml; nther Mader fifth. With this result the & rsquo; s & rsquo Austrian remains; only foreigner in the fight for the cup of specialty & agrave ;: in fact head c & rsquo; & egrave; Runggaldier always boasting 38 points margin on & rsquo; Austrian and 75 on Perathoner; the rest of the world & egrave; cut off, because & eacute; the second super-G scheduled next Sunday will come & agrave; canceled due to fog and, with the finals in Bormio at the gates, never pi & ugrave; recovered.
The results of the countrymen and the weather conditions that force the FIS to cancel several quick tests allow Alberto Tomba to rest easy: l & rsquo; Emilia now has a hand and a half on the crystal ball given the 350-point lead that boasts of Ko & scaron; ir and over 400 of Girardelli and Mader. When there are seven races on the card at the end of the season & egrave; clear that the World Cup & egrave; set to return in Italy vent & rsquo; years after the fourth triumph of Gustav Th & ouml; ni.
