The Azzurri fish well for the super-g of Lake Louise (at risk of the weather): Odermatt and Kriechmayr the big favorites

The first super-g of the World Cup season, fourth race ever on the men's circuit, 24 hours after the descent dominated by Austria with Matthias Mayer winning ahead of Vincent Kriechmayr, remains at risk due to worsening weather on Lake Louise, even if there is confidence to be able to complete the weekend in Alberta, already impoverished by the first descent on Friday. At 12.15 local time, 20.15 Italian (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), appointment on Men''s Olympic Downhill, obviously with a lowered start and on US layout for a race that has three big favorites above all, not surprisingly at away in series from bib 3 to 7. The lowest number is that of Matthias Mayer, preceded only by Kjetil Jansrud, who will have to invent a magic with the 1 to repeat the glories of the past in these parts, and Loic Meillard: the Olympic champion won the last super-g disputed in Lake Louise and, the day after the downhill pearl, he will go in search of the brace that Vincent Kriechmayr and Marco Odermatt could prevent him. The compatriot, world champion and winner of the specialty cup in office, will start fifth, a couple of numbers before the Swiss phenomenon, which dominated the last SG in the cup, last March in Saalbach, and yesterday he gave himself the best result of the downhill career with a super 4th place. Behind the trio of "monsters", watch out for Franz and Sander, who will start immediately after "Odi", then with the number 10 here is the first of the eight blues at the starting gate: Christof Innerhofer, only 25th downhill, caught a good bib as well as Dominik Paris, who in the draw for even numbers was given the gift of 12, he who in Canada obtained the first and last of his podiums in super-g, from 2014 to 2019, from 3rd place of 7 years ago to the second of the last edition. Domme will try to do better than yesterday's eighth place, then we will see a thrilling trio with Kilde (13), Cochran-Siegle (14) and Pinturault (15), while the third blue at the start will be Mattia Casse with 18. From 30 to 33 here are Buzzi, Tonetti and Bosca, finally Marsaglia with the 50 and the absolute debut in the World Cup of Nicolò Molteni, bib 57 out of the 59 athletes who will take part in the race.
