Kilde also dominates the Streif and takes back the red bib on the most difficult day in Paris

First descent of Kitzbuehel: the Norwegian is devastating, a fabulous Clarey bows, on the podium at 41 years old! Innerhofer pays dearly for the sliding section, among the Azzurri the best is Marsaglia and now "Domme" will need the challenge for the specialty World Cup dream.

After Wengen, although not on the complete Lauberhorn, here is Kitz and the symbolic descent, the Streif. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde takes it all, dominating the first round of the 82nd Hahnenkamm-Rennen, for victory number 12 in CdM, the sixth of the season (third downhill) and above all the first of his career in the temple. And the Norwegian champion regains the red bib (and he also has that of the super-g), taking it away from Dominik Paris who lives the most difficult day on the track where he triumphed three times in downhill, rolling over 80 points behind for a situation that , in view of the dream of the first World Cup in the queen discipline, it now becomes much more difficult. AAK beats the eternal, extraordinary Johan Clarey by 42 cents, again a record for the oldest podium in history, at 41 and for the ninth time in the top 3 in a CdM race without winning (but on Sunday he will have a ' another chance, perhaps the last on his favorite track), with Matthias Mayer "only" third at 67 cents. In fact, there is no shortage of regrets for the two Olympic champion, given that with bib number 7 he certainly paid for something on the road, where the fresh snow that fell during the night still slowed down the first to leave a bit, so much so that Kilde arrived at the Alte Schneise even with a margin of 1 ”24 against him. The first podium on the Streif of a again sumptuous Marco Odermatt does not arrive by just one tenth, fourth and clearly calm in terms of overall cup classification, then we go beyond the second behind to find Crawford, more and more reality and fantastic 5th at 1 "02, Ganong 6th (at 1" 06), Feuz 7th at 1 "14 with a smudge at Laerchenschuss costing a possible podium to the Swiss champion, while Hintermann, Hemetsberger and Bennett follow in the standings by signing the top ten and ahead of Matteo Marsaglia, good 11th at 1 ”43 from Kilde and best blue at the finish line, in a difficult day for Italjet (waiting for Bosca and Zazzi).
