Beginning then triumphant for the & rsquo; Austria who won the first two gold medals of this world event and happens in both super-G to draw were two coaches of Wunderteam. Reichelt won five super-G World Cup but 3 won them on Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek in 2005, 2007 and December 6, confirming how much you love this slope, for him & egrave; the second precious metal at the World Cup after the & rsquo; silver Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2011. On the podium with the & rsquo; Austrian state of Salzburg, who at 34 years and 7 months becomes more & ugrave; old man to have won a world title since 1967, the year of the World Cup, rising two types that few would have bet at the medal. But while someone could think that we make her Adrien Th & eacute; aux nobody, but nobody, would have thought there could Dustin Cook, Canadian athlete of Quebec, 26 in six days, which won the & rsquo; silver with bib number 28 returns the country leaf d & rsquo; maple on the podium after the & rsquo; edition-handed medals of Schladming making them forget absences heavy Erik Guay and Jan Hudec, and between the 'other Canada had never won a world medal in super-G n & eacute ; among men n & eacute; among women. The amazing thing & egrave; Cook boasted that before today two twelfths places obtained both in super-G and both in this winter just in Beaver Creek, and today if he had not committed a burr in the final would have been even before Reichelt, who preceded him by 11 cents. Th & eacute; aux instead, after a season in which up to fourth place in Kitzb & uuml; hel had combined literally nothing, suddenly found the right feeling with the new materials and changed in the summer & egrave; reminded to be on the podium five times in his career in super-G. The 30 year old of Savoy & egrave; placed at 24 cents from Reichelt removing the bronze for only 3 cents a duo compost by Matthias Mayer and Kjetil Jansrud. L & rsquo; Austrian threw away even more & ugrave; Cook medal & rsquo; gold in the final since all & rsquo; last intermediate had almost 4/10 of Th & eacute; aux, Norwegian instead & egrave; went to nock with the left shoulder in one of the first ports of the path and sore won fourth place who knows miracle. We are waiting for news on & rsquo; & agrave entity; dell & rsquo; injury Jansrud, cos & Igrave; as on that of the falling Bode Miller, who threw to the winds l & rsquo; yet another race of his career he entered with his arm in a goal, but in the area of â€‹â€‹compression after the Golden Eagle Jump, Cowboy & egrave; andandosi spun off and in & rsquo; impact with the ground a ski has earned him a deep cut in his right leg, also we will update on his condition. L & rsquo; another great falls, the Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, & egrave; arrived incredibly sixth to 109 days after injury to the tendon d & rsquo; Achilles. Seventh another veteran of the White Circus, the Swiss Didier D & eacute; phage, eighth l & rsquo; Austrian Georg Streitberger, ninth defending champion, the American Ted Ligety, who was also the best race of the season in super-G and by far, the tenth Slovenian Klemen Kosi, the Frenchman Alexis Pinturault eleventh, twelfth Switzerland's Carlo Janka tie with l & rsquo; another Frenchman Brice Roger. C & rsquo; & egrave; a tie in the blue house but unfortunately only for a fourteenth place by Dominik Paris, who right from & rsquo; beginning has never found the right pace, and Matteo Marsaglia, winner of this race in the World Cup on 1 & deg; December 2012, Christof Innerhofer eighteenth, twenty-sixth Wener Heel. The World & egrave; just started but one of the races on which we aimed to pi & ugrave; & Egrave; round-l & rsquo; & egrave Italy; still zero medals in the World Championships in Vail or Beaver Creek. Tomorrow, weather permitting, there will be & agrave; the women's downhill.
