Dominik Paris leads the Italjet to Lake Louise: the program of the Azzurri for a month at full speed

Between Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, descent and super-g in the Canadian town.

As is now tradition, Lake Louise will host the opening of the men's speed season (women will compete the following week), in a World Cup that will start again from Levi with the slalom of November 23-24. Alberto Ghidoni's Azzurri program essentially follows that of the other big names on the circuit: so much work to do in Colorado, in an extraordinary resort to train like Copper Mountain, starting Saturday, November 9th, when the Italjet will leave for the States for then move to Alberta, where from Wednesday 27 November the tests of the descent will start, with few doubts in terms of track conditions, given that the snow is not lacking compared to the last few years. The group is well established and, with the exception of Christof Innerhofer who worked separately at Stelvio, since he resumed skiing in August, Dominik Paris, Peter Fill, Matteo Marsaglia, Emanuele Buzzi and Mattia Casse have always trained together, including the period carried out in Ushuaia. At Copper Mountain, however, there will also be “Inner”, although its post-injury recovery phase has not yet been completed and only the first training sessions of a certain level with teammates (and the time-honored comparison with the rivals of others national) will be able to give feedback on its state of form. Dominik Paris is clearly the beacon of a national team that, in that of Lake Louise, won in the last decade only with "Domme", but on November 29th 2008 celebrated in downhill the first victory in the World Cup by Peter Fill, that the next 12 November will turn 37 and is expected to return on a track of which it retains a sweet memory. We were talking about the Val d''Ultimo sprinter, who was present in Modena on the occasion of the Skipass fair and seemed serene and ready as never before to go to the assault of a World Cup in which the objective could be to conquer the two crystal balls of speed, for a double that would be simply historic for Italy, and also aim for the overall podium of the overall. Will serve the Paris of the last year, that of the 7 victories in the World Cup and the world super-g title with the crystal ball brought home in the same specialty, but above all a great departure in the Canadian weekend, in which the most winning blue sprinter of history has always gone in alternate phases. Dominik made his debut at Lake Louise just 10 years ago, without concluding descent and super-g, then achieving one of his sixteen successes in the maximum circuit, on the occasion of the descent of November 30, 2013, when he burned Klaus Kroell for just 3 cents; then came a 3rd place in the super-g of the following vintage, and his third and final podium in Alberta 12 months ago, with the third place in the descent that saw Max Franz overtake two Azzurri, given that Christof Innerhofer concluded in second place.
