A positive test, from every point of view.
Although shortened by a few seconds, the Saslong showed itself in a more than good guise despite the temperatures and difficulties of these days: the work of the Val Gardena organizers was enormous to put on the first and only training, and from tomorrow the races with the super-g and the descent.
The same Dominik Paris, 4th time at 78 hundredths from Jansrud, was definitely satisfied after today's race: "The track conditions are good and this year there are so many bumps, there is a lot in the air - the explanation of" Domme "- I took the measurements and found a good feeling, here I have always struggled but I want to change the tradition. I'm fine and I have fun, this is very important, then we'll see what happens in the race. Opponents? Feuz is the most constant in general, eye to Casse in great shape. Then the Norwegians on paper are always formidable ".
It was also the day of the return of Christof Innerhofer, 48th at 3 "15, but confident for the races:" At the moment only the feeling counts, it is useless to look at the results - the words of the 35-year-old from Gais - I was more nervous than usual , but I'm glad I broke the ice. It wasn't easy, I was a bit scared about the camel's humps, but I'm satisfied after all these months. The knee is not yet at its peak, there is a lack of coorination and strength, but I did my utmost to be aware of having to be patient. I will return to being the 'Innerhofer of the past'.
Peter Fill is definitely more worried: "I'm fighting with my back and my leg, I'm not fine - the Gardena landlord said - I'm not loose and the ski doesn't run very much, but above all I don't feel safe with little visibility. I must try to find more courage and security, but time does not help me â€.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
