Of course, it was a very particular race and a race really at the limit, but we can only underline the courage and skill of Mauro Caviezel, however “combined” today in the super-g of Val d''Isère.
The Swiss sprinter started where he left off in Kvitfjell, when the season was interrupted even before the super-g where he would have raced with that red bib that he made shine today. In the middle, between the victory of his first crystal ball and today's success on Oreiller-Killy, the first of his long career in the World Cup, there was however a terrible injury such as a ruptured tendon. 'Achilles.
The injured left leg in June had not given many problems in the months to follow, so much so that Mauro was able to carry out most of the autumn preparation with his teammates, including the last weeks of training in Cervinia, often preceding even the timed tests in the timed tests. blues. Coming back after such a stop, however, and throwing oneself into the conditions that everyone saw today in Val d''Isère, is truly applause.
And so the first hurray in CdM after ten podiums (of which six second places) is well deserved and comes more than 12 years after the debut in the maximum circuit, which took place in the slalom (sigh!) Of Kranjska Gora in March 2008. "It is 'truly incredible - he exclaimed in the post-race RSI - I'm simply delighted with this first victory, yet yesterday in the downhill test I didn't feel so well, I didn't feel the support and I was nervous at the start.
The conditions were difficult, the visibility bad, but in these situations you have to try to stay focused and push from door to door in a super-g like that. And I did it best ".
