Without Aksel Lund Svindal is ... much harder.
Not that it was impossible to predict, but Norway's speed, without the captain retired with the world silver downhill at Are, did not bring home successes from the first two weekends dedicated to speed, between Lake Louise and Beaver Creek .
In fact, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has shown excellent performance and has simply knocked out the top spot in last Friday's super-g, with a mistake in the final cost much more than the tenth of a second that he divided from Odermatt; the good ones arrive, however, also from the talent of Adrian Smiseth Sejersted, 8th and 5th in the two races on the Birds of Prey, with the 25 year old Scandinavian who got Saturday the best result of his career downhill, the second in absolute after the 4th Place in the Kvitfjell super-g of March 2018.
"I am very happy - said Sejersted to NTB - I had a plan and I did it the best, it was very little for the podium (3 cents, ed). I feel I am on the right track to be able to enter the first 3 of a World Cup race. " Who knows, maybe right from the next fast tests in Val Gardena (super-g on Friday 20 December, descent on Saturday 21st), a real fiefdom of the norge, who must however also find the best Kjetil Jansrud, given that the champion in charge in downhill disappointed in Beaver Creek.
"I didn't really like it in super-g, but Saturday's race was perhaps my best in the last two years," said Jansrud, referring to his performance in the CdM descents and in his 9th place. 100% feeling, but I feel I can find everything I need to reach the top ".
