They practiced practically all summer in Zermatt, hosting from time to time the various national teams who found, on that side of the Matterhorn, the ideal place to prepare for the speed challenges. Now the Azzurri national team and Cervino SpA have returned the favor, since for a couple of days Feuz and his teammates have also been there, with the whole World Cup group of the Swiss squadron, to train on the snows of Breuil-Cervinia that see the Alberto Ghidoni's guys who have been busy for some time to finish the training towards the seasonal debut, which should go on stage (it is good to use the conditional, given the snow situation and the movement of the giants of the previous weekend) on 12-13 December on the “Oreiller-Killy”, in Val d''Isère. Swiss who have chosen to vary the training a bit, considering that in the other locations there is not the ideal situation with temperatures that are too high, and therefore, in the last few hours there was the first direct confrontation between Beat Feuz and Dominik Paris, or the rulers of speed (apart from Mayer and Dressen, on occasion) in recent years, with the Bernese who took the last three downhill World Cups and the blue jet that of super- g of 2019, before stopping on the most beautiful last season, with the pre-Kitzbuehel injury. "The Italians are offering us an ideal track to train in super-g," Tom Stauffer explained to the "Blick", while the head coach of the downhill team, Reto Nydegger, added details on the times. "Our athletes were faster than Paris in all the heats, Mauro Caviezel himself already shows excellent performances just five months after the Achilles tendon rupture, but Feuz himself is fast as well as Janka who is better with the back. We know well however - underlines the Swiss coach - that Paris with his teammates has been training here for many weeks and seemed just a bit tired, moreover it is not a slope that suits his qualities very much. I'm sure we will see a much stronger and more ready Dominik Paris in Val d''Isère ”.
