With the number 5 for the five on the Streif, already tamed three times in descent and once in super-g, always in odd years (2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019). Dominik Paris has to dispel another small taboo to get closer and closer to the dream of the Downhill World Cup, at this moment in his hands with a very small advantage over very strong opponents such as Kilde, Feuz, Mayer, Kriechmayr and Odermatt.
The seventh seasonal descent will be the first of the two scheduled in the temple, Kitzbuehel: Friday race-1, with start scheduled at 11.30 (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport, but it is advisable to connect a few minutes before to see Marcel Hirscher in the forerunner version, as he did in the two tests, he who will be the last of the four planned), hopefully starting from the top since the weather is dancing these days and already today, in the second and last training, it has gone down to '' Alte Schneise for a test of only 70 seconds.
Christof Innerhofer signed it, already brilliant on the complete track on Wednesday: Inner was not very lucky in the even numbers draw, having caught 20, in a race opened by Max Franz with the 1, followed by Baumann and the world champion Kriechmayr. And after the third Austrian at the gate, Daniel Hemetsberger, here is Paris with the 5, before Mayer (7) and Feuz (9) who chose first.
After Bennett and the technical break, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (the fastest yesterday) will start with the number 11, followed by Odermatt with the 13. It is difficult for others to enter the fight, but the weather conditions could affect and maximum attention, in addition to Innerhofer, to the pure possibilities of the two Azzurri who will leave immediately afterwards. Mattia Casse with 21, Matteo Marsaglia (2nd in the real test) with 22, while Guglielmo Bosca will have 44 on his shoulders and Pietro Zazzi 51, with the goal of the first points in the CdM to be obtained on the symbolic track for any downhill skier.
