He won Patrick K & uuml; ng that returns Switzerland on the throne champion of the men's downhill 18 years after the triumph of Bruno Kernen in Sestriere ahead of 24 cents the American Ganong, silver to the delight of the local fans, and 31 cents l & rsquo; another Swiss Beat Feuz. For all three & egrave; the first major medal of his career although K & uuml; ng won once in downhill in the World Cup with two more podiums, Ganong once with another podium, Feuz three times with six other podiums, K & uuml; ngaveva also won the super-G own Beaver Creek l & rsquo; last year and Feuz was second downhill quest & rsquo; winter on the Birds of Prey.
Eventually K & uuml; ng won the race on the wall where the central & egrave; was the best of all except one, the American Andrew Weibrecht, l & rsquo; man of the Olympics that was about to seize a medal also at the World Cup, but a wrong line in the end it did fall in ninth place tie with the Swiss Carlo Janka, to complete the great day of the Swiss Confederation l & rsquo; undiceimo place of veteran Didier D & eacute; phage. Fourth still an American, Steven Nyman, great specialist of this track, just 3 cents from bronze Feuz, the fifth best of the French, Guillermo Fayed, a sixth still fantastic Aksel Lund Svindal, the Norwegian has been shown to be there and to be able to do very well in the rest of the season.
Seventh an equally fantastic Ondrej Bank, the Czech is & egrave; turned into a big downhill, and eighth French Adrien Th & eacute; aux. Great defeat for the Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud, fifteenth, and the Austrian team that does not have anyone in the top ten, the best are Matthias Mayer, twelfth, and Hannes Reichelt, thirteenth. If for Wunderteam & egrave; defeat, for the & rsquo; & egrave Italy; even Caporetto: nobody & egrave; placed in the top twenty, Dominik Paris & egrave; twenty-third, twenty-fourth Christof Innerhofer, Matteo Marsaglia twenty-eighth and thirty-Werner Heel. Put simply the worst result of the season when pi & ugrave; important. And the curse of the medals in Vail / Beaver Creek for us continues. Tomorrow we will review in which the combined Paris, Innerhofer and Marsaglia that & ograve ;, if the & rsquo; & agrave bad trend will continue; to be this, they have no chance to medal, even that Inner & egrave; the 'only one who has successfully demonstrated to be able to point in the recent past.

A Madona ecco il titolo tanto atteso per l'Italia dello skiroll, con la Sprint a skating tutta del campionissimo ancora sul gradino più alto del podio iridato, assieme al compagno di nazionale d'argento. Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
