Dream numbers, even if he doesn't want to watch them and we believe them, because Dominik Paris always thinks about the present, to improve, to win as much as possible and to ... dominate on his track.
The Stelvio di Bormio is like the Val d''Ultimo, or the Paris home: the seventh absolute triumph on these snows, the sixth downhill, came after an exciting confrontation with Marco Odermatt, rejected by the blue champion who went to get himself the twentieth victory in the World Cup, the sixteenth downhill (now he is the 4th ever solo, at -9 from Franz Klammer), the only one in the history of men's alpine skiing to win a race of the queen discipline in the same discipline six times locality (primacy that he held in cohabitation with Didier Cuche, 5 times in triumph in Kitz). “I don't know how he managed it, but today I knew I had to give everything - Domme told our correspondent Alessandro Bergomi in the parterre - The skiing is there, even if I hope to grow further during the season.
The numbers? I don't look at them since they are still in business, we'll think about it at the end of their career. Bormio is magical, this is a place I like and the track suits me well. I managed to do well in Carcentina, but even above I managed to go fast and the risks paid off. Next goal? Tomorrow with the first super-g ... ".
Matteo Marsaglia gave himself a nice top ten: “I exaggerated a bit to tighten the lines, I could have filed something, but it's a good race. Domme? I saw it, I expected it even if after Odermatt it was tough. He, however, is capable of everything and even today he made it ”.
Huge disappointment from Christof Innerhofer, who did not mince words to describe his race, which ended outside the points. “The conditions have changed and certainly the low numbers have had a disadvantage with the overcast sky and high humidity, but I have not adapted to the snow, my performance is simply negative.
Maybe I skied too round in the middle, but not to take 3 and a half seconds. It's the fourth weekend that I struggle, this is a track where I hoped to have other sensations. I also changed technically, choosing a longer ski and a shoe with which I feel more support, but we are not really there ”.
Mattia Casse took a decent 17th place and, while Guglielmo Bosca only caressed the top 30, here is the first points finish of Pietro Zazzi's career in the World Cup, who started last with no.52 and great 29th, on the home track he who is from Bormio. A special day.
