The Swiss reached Cuche at 12 downhill successes, still taking the Streif; all the heart of Clarey who, at 40, is close to a resounding triumph. "I'll be back next year too, I want to see the audience in Kitz again."

Victory number 15 in the World Cup, the twelfth downhill reaching a compatriot of the caliber of Didier Cuche, the one who holds the record of successes in Kitzbuehel.
Until this weekend the Streif seemed cursed for Beat Feuz, who instead comes out of these two runs (waiting for the super-g on Monday, but in that case the expectations are much lower for the Swiss) with a double dream and the leader's red bib to look for what would be the fourth consecutive crystal ball in the discipline.
In the post-race to the microphones of SRF, the red-cross champion confided that “my performance had been good, but I was sure it would not be enough to win. In the central section I continued to lose skiing; the interruption before my departure did not affect me particularly, but frankly today was less risky than on Friday. It was all dark, but steadily, then the sun came out a bit ”. And speaking of the thrill felt when Florian Schieder, coming down with bib 50, was still ahead by more than two tenths over half the track ... "He had a sensational race, I congratulate him".
Who has daydreamed is Johan Clarey, second at 17 cents from Feuz for the eighth podium in CdM without winning. It was very close to Kitz, at his 40th birthday (last January 8th) for what would have been an incredible record, if we think that the oldest winner in the maximum circuit is Didier Cuche (super-g in Crans Montana 2012 over 37 years old). "I thought I had a good race, but not at this level - the transalpine explained to Ski Chrono - I thought the Austrians would go in front, I had good conditions but, honestly, I think I did a good descent also in the final , where I usually lose a lot.
