The Austrian authorities have given the green light to the champion of the Wunderteam (negative to Covid), who has already arrived in Wengen for tomorrow's match. Puelacher: "Given the situation, they could give us permission to field him even in the downhill despite the absence in practice".

A solved yellow and number 1 in the specialty ranking on the track.
Vincent Kriechmayr will be able to start on Thursday, in the fifth super-g of the World Cup scheduled in Wengen. The reserve was dissolved this afternoon, with the world champion in the meantime included in the official startlist (he will have bib number 5, chosen first), thanks to the ok received from the Austrian health authorities who have put an end to the period of quarantine observed after a positive test.
The last PCRs carried out were all negative, but Kriechmayr was not allowed to reach Switzerland, thus losing the two descent tests yesterday and today. Will we therefore see the two-time world champion in Cortina engaged only in super-g, and then bet everything on Kitzbuehel? It is not certain, given that the Austrian federation's circles show the possibility of an exemption to compete also on Friday (in the “shortened” descent) and Saturday (on the complete Lauberhorn), despite the lack of at least one compulsory test.
The FIS jury will decide and, apparently, the technicians of the other national teams would agree to allow the native of Upper Austria to also be there on the descent. "In this difficult and particular moment, the FIS should give an athlete, from any nation, the possibility of being able to compete after what has happened - declared the great head of the men's sector of the OESV, Andreas Puelacher - You have to decide in the '' interest in sport ". In this case, only after the super-g on Thursday (12.30) will we know more.
