The Austrian returns to win in the specialty also in the cup, ahead of the Swiss by 17 cents, one step away from his fourth crystal ball. Third Mayer, fourth Paris after yesterday's prank.

A post-world confirmation, always with that bib 1 which had already been very important on Vertigo.
Vincent Kriechmayr returns to win in downhill even in the World Cup (he had not been able to do it for over two years), putting his ninth success on the circuit in a race, that of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, staged in perfect conditions after what happened yesterday, with interruption after nine athletes and definitive cancellation.
And at the end of the day, Dominik Paris remains with the match in hand, perfect in the first descent in front of the great rivals and today fourth, 42 cents from Kriechmayr for a bitter placement at the foot of the podium, also because from today the blue is arithmetically excluded from the fight for the downhill World Cup. Without the recovery of Friday's race, only the final test in Lenzerheide remains (17 March) and Domme now finds himself 148 points behind Beat Feuz, already one step away from his fourth crystal ball.
In fact, the Swiss finished second, just 17 cents from Kriechmayr (with an amazing final stretch), gaining another 20 points over Matthias Mayer (3rd at + 0 ”27), now at -68 with only one descent to run.
Austria dominates the home race, with Franz fifth at 79 cents on par with a wonderful Marco Odermatt, amazing in the most technical section and capable of taking home 45 points that also keep the general cup open, while Striedinger is seventh at + 0 "85.
