Yesterday he was simply on the ground after his 18th place in super-g, saying he didn't have high expectations for today's race. When Dominik Paris finds his descent, that of the "Stelvio" in Bormio, anything can always happen. So if you are a champion and have little training coming from a very serious injury like the crusader, you can sign the masterpiece; did not complete it by a whisker, but the 4th place that the Val d''Ultimo jet won today, just 13 cents from the sixth triumph (it would have been the seventh total, also considering the super-g of 2018 ) in his race, it's worth a lot. Paris is reborn and can definitely aim for the January classics, Kitzbuehel in the first place, and obviously the Cortina world championships. A wonderful race, very tight, on a Stelvio as demanding as ever, despite the snowfalls of recent days. In the end, a Matthias Mayer tamed it for the first time in his career, thus saving Austria from a negative historical record, or closing the first part of the season (today was the last race of 2020) without success, including the women's sector, as has not happened for over thirty years. And it's a double for the Wunderteam, with Vincent Kriechmayr second as yesterday in super-g, this time mocked by his teammate for only 4 cents, in his tenth World Cup triumph. With the first seven enclosed in 3 tenths, the podium is crazy as the top 3 is in just 6 cents, completed by an athlete who continues to grow and confirms a special feeling with this track, as Urs Kryenbuehl obtained the first of his three podiums right here, in the encore descent a year ago (when Paris burned him by 8 cents). At 7 cents from the Swiss, in fact, here is Domme who in fact loses the race in the Pian dell''Orso curves, after having started like a fury between the jump of the Rocca and the Sertorelli gully, holding up well even in the final exit section from the woods, when the legs burn out of all proportion. Fifth at 16 cents from the success we find Mauro Caviezel, amazing in the last 15 seconds of the race and able to close in front of his direct rival for the super-g cup, namely Aleksander Aamodt Kilde who, after yesterday's quarter, today has to settle for sixth place (a + 0 ”28). The Norwegian is 2 cents ahead of the real big disappointment of the day, that Ryan Cochran-Siegle who started as the favorite after dominating the tests and the super-g, but literally threw away the probable success by giving a circus number on the Sertorelli gully and then back to Konta. There is France behind the American, with Bailet great 8th and Clarey 9th, while Beat Feuz (who has never loved the Stelvio too much, but does not seem at the top in this start of the season) is only 10th, at 59 cents from Mayer and just ahead of Christof Innerhofer. Yes, the Italjet in crisis 24 hours ago can smile for the return to high levels of the 36-year-old from Gais ("if it goes bad again I should think about changing jobs", he said yesterday in the post-race), 11th to + 0 " 63 and protagonist of a perfect descent at least up to Carcentina.
