A wonderful duel on a Lauberhorn in an unreleased version, or super-g (which had not been contested since 1994), but which did not disappoint with 90 thrilling seconds starting under the Hundschopf. The first race of the speed triptych in Wengen, recovery of the one canceled first in Lake Louise and then in Bormio, sees Marco Odermatt give another jewel after the giant of Adelboden, for the second victory in a Swiss ski temple and the tenth in career, the fourth in super-g and second season in the discipline that saw Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in a streak of successes from three tests. Today the Norwegian phenomenon had to bow for 23 cents, practically all lost on the final "S", where "Odi" painted an extraordinary line, when he was still 4 cents behind AAK, which firmly holds the red bib of the discipline two tests from the term, to the last intermediate. The podium sees Matthias Mayer on the third step, paying 58 cents from Odermatt, with just 3 of margin on Romed Baumann, who found himself by spell. Then here are the Azzurri, authors of a more than good match, but one that is not enough against the extraordinary specialists of the super-g: Dominik Paris is fifth, with 98 hundredths of a gap, giving up the decisive tenths in the final stretch really narrow for his levers , but it is a nice boost of confidence in terms of Friday (shortened) and Saturday descents. The same goes for Christof Innerhofer, sixth just one cent from his teammate and ready to attack on the Lauberhorn in full force after what was also demonstrated in practice. (updating)
