A new father in triumph on the Streif, even if the little Luisa who was born last Monday is the second child of the family, after Chloe. Beat Feuz, at almost 35 years old, has given himself the third gem in the iconic descent, after the brace of 2021: he had not won since January 24, 2021, just when he signed an encore in Kitzbuehel flying towards his fourth specialty World Cup.
Now the five is back possible, despite the fact that until today the red-cross champion had not yet won this season, as Feuz only has to recover 8 points from leader Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. "It's too good to get the first podium in Kitz with Beat by my side", said Marco Odermatt referring to his captain, who soon (there are those who say already at the end of this season, especially if the Olympic gold ...) will give him the baton considering how much the master of the general has grown even downhill.
And the 2017 world champion also focuses on the relationship with “Odi”. “Marco and I are comfortable with each other. He's young and doesn't have as many thoughts on his mind as I do, but when we discuss skiing, we're on the same page. My race? At the finish it was difficult to evaluate my performance, today it was difficult to find the perfect line ”.
Feuz who was able to be in Kitz, after the two podiums in Wengen, thanks to the birth of his daughter on Monday, right between the two key weekends of the season. "My family should not be neglected in any way - he said again after the race Beat, who had repeatedly explained how he would leave the competition site at any time for the arrival of the child - I can be extremely proud of my partner of life (Katrin Triendl, ed) and I have to say a huge thank you for everything you do ”.
Swiss triumph in the Austrian temple, true, but at least the Wunderteam saved the most important stage with a podium, after failing both in the first descent and in the slalom. All this thanks to the 30-year-old Daniel Hemetsberger, who dropped Matthias Mayer from the top 3 for 4 cents, thus giving himself the first podium after the fourth places in Bormio and Wengen who had already told us so much about the growth of this athlete. “A result like this here is fantastic, I never expected it. Of course, you always dream of getting on the podium in Kitz, or even of winning, but it is one thing to succeed. I am so happy...".
