Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

Feuz ready to beat Klammer's record, but his son is on the way: "Should he be born early, I would leave immediately"

The Swiss champion is the great favorite for the two descents on the Lauberhorn in Wengen (today the second test), but the second child could be born precisely among the four decisive races for the specialty cup. "Everything is already organized, the family is much more important".

Beat Feuz could break a record in Wengen, his track, where Franz Klammer has triumphed four times. The holder of the Downhill World Cup has cheered three times on the Lauberhorn and this year has a great chance, with the double appointment scheduled for Friday and Saturday. There is a however, and it concerns a great joy expected in the Feuz house: the birth of the second child, which companion Katrin will give birth to by the end of the month, but which obviously could also arrive in the full period between the four key descents for the fight against the crystal ball (which sees Dominik Paris in command after Bormio), considering the two scheduled in Kitzbuehel on 21 and 22 January (where Beat won on both occasions in 2021). Today the second and last test on the Lauberhorn (away at 12.30), before the super-g on Thursday, but the red-cross champion confirmed to Blick that "I no longer turn off my mobile phone at night and I'm ready to fly to the hospital with a helicopter already organized. The family is more important than another possible victory in Wengen or Kitz ”. Feuz, among other things, explained that he is also very attentive on the Covid issue, given that a positivity in the next few days would exclude anyone from the Olympics, having to spend twenty days before entering China (the male descent is scheduled for the next 6 February). “For example, we haven't sent our daughter Clea to kindergarten in the last few weeks to avoid any kind of risk,” confessed the downhill skier from Graubünden.
