A seventh place that certainly partially cancels the enormous disappointment of the 27th of two days earlier, but Dominik Paris knows that what he achieved in Kitzbuehel is really too little, on the track where he triumphed three times in downhill and once in super- g, both for the confidence with which he will arrive at the Beijing Olympic Games, and because now for the specialty World Cup it will take a company and some help from rivals. Domme finds himself, with only three races on the calendar (provided there is recovery in Kvitfjell ...), 89 points from Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and 81 from the trophy holder, Beat Feuz, in fifth place after another day difficult on the Streif, which concisely summarizes. “I'm not satisfied, I have a gap of over a second left in the group which is too much. We are not". Christof Innerhofer, ninth and with the Olympic call-up that shouldn't be in doubt, explains to Physi.org: "The race was better than two days ago, at the top I made some nice corners, I lost a bit on the plane. '' less, in fact my placement has also improved. I didn't ski very well after the Steilhang though; it was a tough race today, very poor visibility, so beautiful but tough ”. Matteo Marsaglia, 17th, tells what happened on the track after not too many laps, because it seemed clear that setting the times, already from Kilde (with the '11) onwards, was not easy. “Unfortunately the conditions were a bit particular, worsening from number to number. I could certainly have done better, I was partly wrong in launching on the last floor then with this snow I really felt lack of final speed. Of course, I could certainly do it better: it's a shame because a particular Streif shouldn't be an excuse, we all could have done better. We are sorry not to have had even one day of good weather to come up with something beautiful and have fun ".
