An authentic lion to tame the Birds of Prey and recover, at least partially, what he lost in the last 11 months, from that crusader injury that denied him the chance to play for the second consecutive World Cup.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is reborn in Beaver Creek, triumphing in the second consecutive super-g and beating the great favorite after dominating yesterday; a real feat to be able to fold Marco Odermatt for only 3 cents, who obviously remains the leader of specialties and of the general, but sees the brace vanish by a whisker, for what turns instead into the seventh pearl in AAK's career (the fourth in super -g).
"Odi" still commanded for 12 cents until the last intermediate, but the rival Norge pulled a real line in the final to burn it, overturning the verdict of the 2019 duel, when it was the Swiss who came in front of him in the same race in Colorado.
On the third step of the podium the hosts celebrate, as Travis Ganong gives himself a fantastic 3rd place, just 37 cents from the winner; for the veteran of Team USA, it is the fifth podium in his career, almost 5 years after his downhill victory in Garmisch, and the first in the discipline. Deserved, well deserved if we think that the fourth in the standings is more than half a second behind and it is a certain Matthias Mayer, second yesterday and today down from the podium, to precede by 3 cents (95 from Kilde) a Vincent Kriechmayr not very brilliant even this one '' today.
Sixth again, just like in race-1, Alexis Pinturault who closes at + 0 "98 and only 6 cents from Mayer himself, after having sailed as 24 hours before in the podium area for over half the track, or in the more technical part, first to leave several tenths in the final 30 seconds. In the top ten there is no blue Italy, with Casse and Innerhofer in the top 15 and Paris over 2 seconds late, for another difficult day for Ghidoni's men.
