Sun, ice and oceanic crowd. All ingredients were allowed to attend on the Streif for a fantastic show on that which alone is the most fascinating track in the world.

Streif Dominik Paris has always shown to handle it. In 2013 he won the downhill, in 2015 was the first in the Super G and second in downhill. Today the South Tyrolean become the first Italian to penetrate for 2 times in the most important race of the World Cup, winning the race in the absolute number 7, the first season. Paris is likely something sull'Oberhausberg committing a trivial error, which makes him lose a few cents, but not enough to deprive him of success.
For Italy it was going to get a sensational double. When all the best were dropped, according to he was in fact Peter Fill, author of a race without mistakes and very close to another podium after the victory of twelve months ago. However we have put half the French who do not expect: before Johan Clarey, fell with the number 20, it is inserted between the two blues; Then Valentin Giraud Moine, bib 24, also makes tremble Paris before ending up on the bottom Querfhart and having to settle for a still strong second place.
To Giraud Moine is the second podium in the World Cup: it was always finished second, and always beaten by Paris in the Kvitfjell downhill in March. For Clarey is instead the top three numbers 4, all obtained in this specialty, last March 1, 2014 Always on the track that gave the Olympic medals in 1994.
However, the first three positions today are also daughters of two incidents that have compromised the test Hannes Reichelt and Beat Feuz. The Austrian commits a grave error to Karussellcurve, without which it would probably also beat Paris, whom he instead relegated to ninth. Switzerland's instead falls on Querfhart even when at the last intermediate boasted 72 cents ahead on blue. Fortunately no physical problem for a guy that has suffered far too many injuries.
Fourth, then Peter Fill, who for only 7 cents failed to give the double podium Italy, event happened in Kitzbühel Downhill only in 1974 when Giuliano Besson and Stefano Anzi were tied for second behind Roland Collombin. Fifth it is instead Carlo Janka, Erik Guay sixth, seventh and tenth Adrien Theaux Steven Nyman.
In the middle, the aforementioned Reichelt ninth and the winner of yesterday, Matthias Mayer, eighth. Never the best of Austria house was finished so far behind in a race, the Kitzbühel downhill, which for the hosts is worth more than a World Cup and perhaps the un''Olimpiade.
As regards the other blue, Innerhofer wrong exit of Steilhang, finishing for several meters with the outside ski along the sheets that cover the networks and ending accordingly fifteenth. Emanuele Buzzi ends rather out of 30. We will update you about the results of Mattia Casse, Paolo Pangrazzi and Henri Battilani.
In the overall standings of the World Cup does not change anything, with Marcel Hirscher always firmly in command with 980 points followed by Henrik Kristoffersen to 692 and Alexis Pinturault to 655. Despite today's result, the best Italian Manfred Mölgg remains sixth with 428 points .
Change the rankings instead of Descent specialties: Paris it becomes red bib with 142 points against the 140 of Aksel Lund Svindal, whose season is already over, and the 139 Peter Fill.
