“A descent that is good for the heart”. There is nothing else to add, the first words of Dominik Paris in the post-race perfectly summarize what the Italian ski champion experienced in the last 11 months, from that cursed in Kirchberg with the breaking of the Crusader and dreams in smoke, at least quite a while. Two descents were enough, if we want five speed races also considering the three super-g disputed, to find a “Domme” again close to its top. Fourth place in the descent on the Stelvio, already tamed five times in his career, touching another pearl for only 13 cents; that Paris was another than yesterday was already understood from the approach to the jump of the Rocca. A fury to plunge into the Sertorelli gully and go back there, together with all those who beat repeatedly until the middle of last season. "Today I tried to go beyond the limits and while I was going down I felt more and more secure - confessed Domme in the post race - I was waiting for this day, to feel the fun again going down". More happy with the performance than regret for a possible podium, if not victory: “Yes, I did a little wrong before Carcentina, but here you often play for a few cents and that's okay. The track was good, they worked a lot even if they couldn't guarantee the conditions found in the tests. What I know is that now it is easier for me to find myself downhill, as far as the super-g is concerned I still have to work a lot, but this race will give me a lot of confidence. Is critical". Now a little break and then Wengen: "A track that for me has never been the best, but last year it went very well (2nd place behind Feuz, first podium for the Italian on Lauberhorn, ed) and I hope to feel those sensations again - added Ettore Giovannelli to Rai microphones - Today for me and Inner, but for the team in general, the world has changed and it means that we can react. If you ask me about Cortina and the next goals, I would say however that we still need to work ”.
