Paris, one step away from the masterpiece: "I braked too much in the famous passage, now the descent"

The fifth place of the blue ace in the world super-g leaves some regrets, but the test was decidedly level. Like Lele Buzzi, excellent 13th: "Too bad, it was a great opportunity considering how I skied in the second part of the race".

A medal dream that seemed to come true for at least twenty minutes, until Romed Baumann canceled it with his incredible performance and earned it silver. Dominik Paris closes the world super-g in Cortina in 5th place, on a "Vertigo" that has done ... damage for many, not for a Vincent Kriechmayr who succeeds the very champion in the roll of honor of the specialty light blue. Of course, only the medals count in these races, but Domme's performance, thinking about Sunday's descent, was nevertheless applause. "I knew there was space to fit in, Romed braked in the right way and it was perfect - commented Paris on Ettore Giovannelli's microphone after climbing off the podium - It was a tough super-g, that step it wasn't easy at all and even with the number 8 I still braked a bit too much. A good placement, but not in a World Championship, now let's think about the descent even if only in practice I will understand how it can go ”.
