Another difficult day, even if the possibility of hitting the top ten that he had indicated as a goal, was there up to the mistake committed in the heart of the Ciaslat. However, the descent of Val Gardena was once again bitter for Dominik Paris, 15th on the Saslong after a decent 12th place in the super-g. “I always struggle here in Val Gardena - he will admit at the end of the race through the FISI press office - I am a bit disappointed, but I was not able to advance well in the race and two mistakes are enough for time to go away.
Norwegians and Americans are better than us on this type of snow and slope. We will have to work better for the future, starting with Bormio ”.
And it will be precisely on the Stelvio that Domme will look for very important answers, thinking about the other classics in January and the world championships in Cortina, even if the feeling is that the blue number 1 is not so far away, as demonstrated in Val d''Isère, to play early for the very first positions in the most favorable contexts.
On the other hand, those who cannot but cheer with both hands is Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, author of a fabulous double on "his" track, he who has won half of his World Cup races (six) right on the Saslong, with the descent of two years ago and the back to back of these extraordinary 24 hours that brought him back to the top of the overall standings. "Beautiful, beautiful, I really could not have asked for better and I still won the trophy awarded in this splendid context - said Kilde in the post-race, referring to the" Val Gardena Suedtirol Ski Trophy "- The super-g had given me confidence, even today I pushed to the maximum and exploited my characteristics on this track where I am perfectly. The cup leadership? Yes, but now there are many technical races starting with the giant in Alta Badia. And I'll try to do well there too ... ".

Magico Becchis, apre la doppietta azzurra con Valerio: è il 5° titolo mondiale del fuoriclasse cuneese
A Madona ecco il titolo tanto atteso per l'Italia dello skiroll, con la Sprint a skating tutta del campionissimo ancora sul gradino più alto del podio iridato, assieme al compagno di nazionale d'argento. Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
