Is the super Austria of speed back? Nì, given that today four of the top six of a super-g ranking were missing today, now commanded by Vincent Kriechmayr, winner for the first time in Kitzbuehel, but certainly what was shown by the 29-year-old from Lower Austria and by " twin ”Matthias Mayer, today on the third podium in as many races of this edition of the Hahnenkammrennen, also thinking about their double downhill in Bormio, also bodes well for world championships.
In addition, the Wunderteam placed two other athletes in the top 7, with Walder fifth and Babinsky (best result of his career) 7th. “I am obviously very, very satisfied with today's race - Kriechmayr told oesv.at - I still had the two (disappointing) descents in my mind, I risked everything and I am happy with what I did. It is a great victory and a great satisfaction after the last difficult days ”.
Victory that could have been the third in Kitz for Matthias Mayer, after the 2017 super-g and last year's descent, if the Carinthian hadn't made a serious mistake in the penultimate corner on the flat before the jump that precedes the Hausbergkante . Eventually, “Mothl” saved the third square which means fifth consecutive podium in the temple in two seasons. “Actually today I struggled even before that serious mistake - the analysis of the reigning super-g Olympic champion - I'm surprised that it was enough for third place which, considering everything, makes me very happy. It is a pride to be able to say that we have always been on the podium in the last five races held here ”.
