Even without the Hausbergkante the men's downhill World Cup Kitzbühel Streif from the bottom of a very hard especially on the upper section of the Steilhang, gives great show and the thousands of spectators go crazy for the victory of Hannes Reichelt.

The Austrian boasted this year's three squares of honor downhill in Beaver Creek, Bormio, Wengen and third in super-G in Beaver Creek and the triumph, his seventh in the World Cup and first solo downhill after that of 29 December 2012 in Bormio ex-aequo with Dominik Paris, comes the most important day for Austrian skier whose main dream is to win the Olympic gold but the downhill on the Streif, though now changed with the "variant Ghedina" on which the Ampezzo won in 1998, and since there is the World Cup, there are 14 Austrians succeeded in 23 occasions.
Moreover Reichelt for the overall World Cup lends a hand to his fellow countryman Marcel Hirscher of Salzburg like him because he takes 20 important points to Aksel Lund Svindal. The Norwegian already savored the triumph but instead due to a high part is not perfect he had to settle for second place, for him anyway sixth podium of the season and 102 points over Hirscher in the overall World Cup ranking while in the specialty , has over 80 Reichelt.
Third place went to 34 cents for Bode Miller, the American was second in 2008 and 2011 but failed to dispel the taboo of the Streif due to a big mistake on Lärchenschuss, the central part, but on the Steilhang was monstrous as no shame because it probably will be his last season and its going to be one of the few big names that do not appear in the gold of this great race. Fourth place went to 66 cents for the Frenchman Adrien Theaux and fifth at 77 cents a Christof Innerhofer that if he had not broken down before the last jump he could probably catch the podium.
Best result of his career for the American Travis Ganong, fantastic sixth ex-aequo with the Austrian Max Franz, Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud the eighth, the ninth and tenth veteran Swiss Didier Defago Austrian Matthias Mayer. Among those who have fallen, we hope everyone without consequences, there are the Austrian Joachim Puchner and Werner Heel, who lost skiing left in the curve entrance to Steilhang, and Switzerland's Beat Feuz, who was on track despite the & rsquo ; ankle injury the day before.
Bad the rest of the Italian team, including an Dominik Paris certainly not the best and the neopapà Peter Fill will update you about the end times of the other blue.

Eva Pinkelnig è tornata: la stella del salto austriaco, un anno dopo il dramma di Predazzo, di nuovo sul trampolino
Oggi a Tschagguns la prima sessione di allenamento per la 38enne fuoriclasse di Bregenz (ho vissuto una grandissima emozione) che, il 18 settembre 2025, si era distrutta il ginocchio sinistro nel test event del Grand Prix in vista dei Giochi Olimpici, persi da una delle atlete più attese in Val di Fiemme.
