Eight Italians will be at the start of the weekend that proposes speed races in the men's World Cup, more than forty days after Kitzbuehel, for the crucial stage of Kvitfjell at the start on Friday (start at 11.30), with the ninth seasonal descent that is recovery than the one canceled first at Lake Louise and then at Beaver Creek.
And there are still hopes to see Dominik Paris fighting for the crystal ball, never conquered in his career, even though with three tests from the conclusion there are 89 points to recover from Kilde and four opponents to overcome, considering that in front there are also Feuz , Mayer and Odermatt. Today the best time in the second and last round for “Domme”, who confirmed a more than good feeling with Olympiabakken at physi.org. “Today went better, I managed to be quite fluid on the track - the analysis of the blue jet - The track conditions have improved, it's a bit harder and there are some good passages, but it didn't seem much faster .
The snow is very cold, it doesn't allow you to go too fast. The race will not be easy, because with optimal conditions there are many athletes who can achieve results: I will try to get maximum speed and we will see what happens ".
Instead, there is concern in the words of Christof Innerhofer, who crashed yesterday in the warm-up and returned to the track today, after missing the first test. Almost 3 seconds the gap from Paris, but above all a left knee that hurts. "It wasn't easy - Inner said after training - I have pain in my knee, I tried to attack anyway, because the attack is the best defense, and I would not have been able to go down otherwise, but I was really struggling because I could not reach put your left leg well. And now the knee is very swollen ”.
“The track was polished - added Matteo Marsaglia, good 10th in the last test - There was more support, more beautiful to ski. With greater speed it also becomes more difficult, but there are fewer jumps and ground movements than in the past. It is still a good descent and I think it will get even faster tomorrow in the race; I managed to put an extra gear, I reached the finish line with pain (in the back, ed), but I didn't feel it while I was going down. If it goes like this, it's fine for the races ”.
“The track is beautiful and will be cleaned more and more, tomorrow it will be even more lucid - explains Mattia Casse, today 15th after yesterday's 16th time trial - We have three days of good weather ahead of us, and this is good. My goal is to go to the downhill finals. I am happy with how I came back after a difficult period, and that I did two solid tests. Now I will have to do two full races since I am 25th in the specialty classification ".
