The Swiss repeats himself after the triumph on Friday and is the new specialty leader: Clarey close to his first victory at 40, Mayer still on the podium. For "Inner" a great race, Paris suffers from poor visibility and has to settle for a top ten.

A champion encore in the Kitzbuehel temple, in a completely different condition of visibility and snow than two days earlier.
After having touched it for years (with four second places), Beat Feuz takes the descent on the Streif for the second time in 48 hours: first Friday, first today mocking Johan Clarey for 17 cents, with the transalpine (started with the n ° 5 and in a better weather condition than the Helvetic one) who takes the eighth podium of his career without ever winning, but he really went a step away from triumph at the age of 40 last 8 January (it would have been clearly the oldest winner in the World Cup).
A race partly conditioned by the fog between Mausefalle and Steilhang, as well as complicated visibility for most of the Streif, so much so that there was an interruption of almost 10 minutes before the descent of Feuz himself, who painted a first a splendid part of the race, it contained the “damage” in the long central sliding section and then made the difference in the three corners preceding the attack of the Hausbergkante. Podium completed by Matthias Mayer, 2nd in the first descent and 3rd today, 38 cents from Feuz to whom he also gives the red bib as a leader of the specialty.
And then there is Italy, but not with Dominik Paris: Christof Innerhofer in fact gives himself a great 4th place, finishing 86 cents from the winner, making the most of a good bib like the 6 but, in reality, skiing again with quality and courage on a much harder and more compact snow than two days ago. A nice rebirth for Inner, while Dominik Paris cannot smile for 7th place, 1 "18 from Feuz: the blue ace did not trust, especially the Hausbergkante, in this condition of visibility losing the tenths that they would have guaranteed him at least a placement at the foot of the podium.
Between the two leading Italians, still applause for Germany which, although lacking Thomas Dressen, places Baumann 5th and Sander 6th, while a few cents behind Paris we find Striedinger, Bailet and an excellent Marco Odermatt, great 10th a + 1 "32.
Tomorrow the conclusion of Kitz's “extended” triptych with the super-g, scheduled for 10.45 am.
