The veteran of Norway is reborn in the super-g of Kitzbuehel thanks also to the advice of his younger teammate, ready to take the top of the overall World Cup standings ...

A team spirit built over the years and which, at times, can make the difference even in the excited moments of a race.
This is a bit of what happened today at the home of Norway during the Kitzbuehel super-g: nothing sensational, of course, but once we crossed the finish line in first place, ex-aequo with Matthias Mayer, the good Aleksander Aamodt Kilde rushed the radio and shouted to teammate and team captain after Aksel Lund Svindal's farewell. "Go full throttle, it's how we saw it on a reconnaissance".
And Kjetil Jansrud received the information of AAK great, flying to take the first seasonal success (he hadn't won in the cup for 14 months) and the second one in Kitzbuehel, after that mini descent of 2015 in which he burned Dominik Paris for only two cents. Twenty-third hurray in his career, the 13th in super-g for the 34-year-old champion in charge of the descent: "It's fantastic to have guys like Aleksander who think what the team is the first thing - Jansrud kept us in the post - My first victory in the season (he had been 2nd in the super-g in Val Gardena, mocked by Kriechmayr in the final), in the most important race ... a wonderful feeling ".
And be careful because tomorrow on the real Streif, the downhill one, Kilde himself could take the top of the overall World Cup standings (he is second with 20 points behind), taking it away for at least a few hours to another Norwegian, Henrik Kristoffersen. And the incredible fact is that in his best season in terms of performance and continuity, the 27-year-old Viking has not yet won a race ... what if he does it tomorrow in the day of days?
