Paris is immediately jet in Saalbach: 2nd time one hundredth from Mayer in the first round of Saalbach

On Friday and Saturday the two descents on the Zwoelferkogel: the blue ace is glued to "Mothl", here always very fast. Buzzi's first test was also very good, fifth less than half a second.

An ok start, after the disappointment (in terms of results, certainly not in terms of performance) of the 2021 world championships in Cortina. Dominik Paris is immediately fast in the first of two tests towards the slopes of Saalbach-Hinterglemm which, between Friday and Saturday, could keep the Italian champion in the running for the specialty cup. Today's test on the Zwoelferkogel, carried out in spring conditions (and brought forward to 10 am due to the problem related to temperatures, close to 10 °), sees "Domme" finishing second, just one hundredths from Matthias Mayer who loves this track, where signed the double between downhill and super-g in 2015. At 28 cents here is the Danklmaier-Bailet duo to follow Beat Feuz's two main rivals for the Downhill World Cup, even if today's confrontation with the Swiss is not very indicative, given that the specialty leader did not push by finishing beyond the 30th position, 2 ”09 from Mayer. Excellent feedback provided by Lele Buzzi, who had already shown in Cortina in the world super-g that he was close to really getting together; 5th time for the sappadino, just 46 cents and ahead of Max Franz, half a second from the top, the other Austrian Hemetsberger and the vice world champion Andreas Sander, eighth at 7 tenths. Said of the 12th place of Kriechmayr (+ 0 "86), Christof Innerhofer today placed 19th at 1" 15 from Mayer, Matteo Marsaglia instead 24 at 1 "40, just ahead of Marco Odermatt who, from Friday, will try to recover points to the leader of the general, Alexis Pinturault.
