Aksel Lund Svindal is confirmed king of speed. The Norwegian won the 23 th success in the World Cup triumph in the downhill in Beaver Creek, where he had already excelled in 2008, exactly one year after falling risking their lives right on the Birds of Prey. Here the live timing of the FIS!

Svindal, in the midst of a less than optimal visibility as indeed they have found others, he pocketed the seventh successive downhill Cup despite not been perfect in the middle, the more technical, but his great qualities of fluency in the initial and in the final allowed him to anticipate practically sprint to 17 cents Hannes Reichelt, who had hoped to have already restored the victory down to Austria and that instead it should "settle" in the eighth podium descent, the 24th in the Cup while Svindal as podiums is at an altitude of 52.
Among the first three set us back but after almost five years, excluding the silver medal in super-G in Val d'Isere in 2009 and bronze in the super combined champion of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2011, Peter Fill, third to 20 cents from Svindal and 3 from Reichelt. The Castelrotto South Tyrol was fasting Cup podiums from 16 January 2009 when he was second in the super combined in Wengen downhill while he could not since he got his first and only victory in Lake Louise November 29, 2008. This is the tenth podium for the blue that is showing a newfound brilliance both physical and technical.
Fourth place went to the Canadian Manuel Osborne-Paradis just 4 cents to Fill, fifth and sixth the two Swiss Patrick Küng, dropped with 27, and Beat Feuz, who after months and months of suffering and doubt back in the top ten after being there the last time with the second place in the downhill finals in Schladming on 14 March 2012. Seventh another Canadian Jan Hudec, eighth and ninth and two more blue, Werner Heel, seventh six days ago at Lake Louise, and Dominik Paris, which is a definite step backwards compared to the triumph in Canada but the track was much less suited to him, especially in the central part.
Close the top ten Austrian Max Franz, the victim of a terrible fall last year but in the super-G. In the overall standings of the World Cup Svindal leads with 140 points ahead of Marcel Hirscher, who will play tomorrow the super-G, in 158 of Reichelt, the Norwegian is a leader in the specialty with 21 lengths of Paris. The race is still in progress, we will update you on the final placings of the other big World Cup and the other blue.
