L & rsquo; Austrian brushing the final they have literally ruined the party to Switzerland because & eacute; preceded three hosts: Beat Feuz, according to 12 cents, Carlo Janka, third 14, and Patrick K & uuml; ng, quarter to 80, between the & rsquo; another all three gi & agrave; able to win on the Lauberhorn, Feuz in 2012 (before Reichelt), Janka in 2010 and K & uuml; ng l & rsquo; last year although on a track halved. Reichelt centering the first podium in the specialty this winter & agrave; then returns to the success downhill after that of Kitzb & uuml; hel of January 25, 2014 obtained before surgery for herniated disc, for him & egrave; the second victory of the season after the super-G in Beaver Creek on December 6, also & egrave; the third successful downhill and ninth in overall in the World Cup.
Feuz confirms the placement of Beaver Creek last December 5, Janka back on the podium in downhill after four years, in 2011, had always been and always third in Wengen, K & uuml; ng & egrave; clearly the best result of the season. From the combo of 22 January 2012 in Kitzb & uuml; hel two Swiss came not up together on the podium, then Feuz was still second and & nbsp; Silvan Zurbriggen third. The big disappointment of the day & egrave; definitely the Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud, that & egrave; Party with the word & ldquo; I & rsquo; m the best & rdquo; (& Ldquo; I'm the best & rdquo ;, for those who did not know l & rsquo; English) on the chest and in the end had to settle for fifth place gnawing only 45 points in Marcel Hirscher in general Cup, his detachment from & rsquo; Austrian & egrave; 167 lengths.
Sixth constant French Guillermo Fayed, seventh German Tobias Stechert that after two years of physical problems centers its second result among the top ten after a fifth place in the downhill in Lake Louise on 24 November 2012, eighth and tenth two other Swiss, Sandro Viletta, also & rsquo; he the best result of the season, and Didier D & eacute; phage, ninth Czech Ondrej Bank and downhill had never done better than the seventeenth place in Kvitfjell l & rsquo; March 11, 2011. Eleventh and twelfth other two hosts, Marc Gisin and Mauro Caviezel, seven are the Swiss in the first twelve! Unrecognizable the Olympic champion of specialty & agrave ;, l & rsquo; another Austrian Matthias Mayer, gi & agrave; in delay of half a second and for now twenty-second.
The race after the first 22 went down & egrave; been stationary for about three quarters d & rsquo; now for incredible disruption of radio communications between the responsible FIS Alpine skiing men's Markus Waldner, the departure and l & rsquo; arrival: one unedifying spectacle for a resort & agrave; hosting a descent that, when & egrave; peaceful and hassle of wind like today, & egrave; probably the pi & ugrave; fascinating and full of all the World Cup. Far from the first positions the Blues, Peter Fill & egrave; fell into ruin but fortunately without consequences to Minschkante, currently the best & egrave; Werner Heel, eighteenth, we will update you on the final placements of the other blue. Next week another big weekend for the men's World Cup, to & nbsp; Kitzb & uuml; hel, with super-G and combined alpine Fridays & Igrave ;, down the & nbsp; Streif on Saturday and slalom on Sunday.
