The rankings of the men's World Cup after the descent in Val Gardena: Kilde threw a unique chance, while the specialty ranking saw the leader Mayer collect very little and "Domme" now has Bormio to get closer.

If today's race on the Saslong should have represented a great opportunity to further shorten Matthias Mayer and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde on Marco Odermatt, absent today in Val Gardena, all the predictions have been overturned by what happened and, in particular, the sensational exit before the Ciaslat by the Norwegian, widely in command and launched towards the third downhill victory on his favorite track, favors the possible escape of the Swiss champion.
The men's cup now proposes the two giants in series on the Gran Risa, Sunday and Monday for a classic double on the badiote snow, very favorable to the Nidvaldese who remained 48 points ahead of Mayer and 124 lengths to Kilde, with Alexis Pinturault who will have to try mend it right in this appointment, before the Campiglio slalom.
What happened today in the third seasonal downhill, however, is also important for the ranking of specialties: Matthias Mayer, who keeps the two red bibs in speed, in fact obtained only 15 points and has 30 points ahead of Beat Feuz, who did not but obtained (with 5th place) the desired loot. Dominik Paris, in a race on the card "in defense", has instead gained on all the great rivals, is -68 from the Carinthian and already fourth, equal to Kriechmayr with 127 points and a whisker from Kilde. In short, with the next race in Bormio on paper all for him and then the great classics, with the double descents in Wengen and Kitz, the dream of finally playing this crystal ball is more alive than ever.
WCSL chapter: Paris is now 3rd in front of Kriechmayr, today's winner Bryce Bennett made the real big leap approaching the top 10, as are the 36 points obtained by Mattia Casse to return, with some injured in front of him (which would be 32nd), in the top 30.
