Before the two tests for Saturday's descent in Val Gardena: track shortened due to fog and Goldberg precedes compatriot Bennett and Jansrud. Many big players are far away, including the two leading Azzurri.

A sprint test, the one staged on a "Saslong" mutilated by most of the initial stretch, over 30 seconds canceled by the fog (and starting at the original start of the super-g which will be run on Friday) which now will force tomorrow, on the occasion of the second and last training, to have good weather conditions to guarantee a complete descent on Saturday.
In Val Gardena it did not start very well towards the men's speed races scheduled for Friday and Saturday, with an hour and a half postponement hoping the sky would open, then the start of a training was given that cannot be too indicative, but which sees Americans and Norwegians very fast.
In front of everyone was Jared Goldberg, who in 1 '' 25 "48 preceded by 22 cents his compatriot Bryce Bennett and the Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud, as always at ease on this track and in front of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde by 3 cents, fourth time trial. More distant Max Franz, fifth at half a second, like Alphand himself (6th with bib 52), Baumann, Cochran-Siegle and the other Frenchmen Raffort and Allegre who completed the top ten of the day. If the red bib Martin Cater finished very far, at 2 "36, many big names are not sure how to squeeze in this situation (Marco Odermatt himself has not even started and will aim straight for the super-g), with Mauro Caviezel and Beat Feuz they too are out of 40 respectively with a gap of 2 ”17 and 2” 27, but the Azzurri have also studied the situation.
Dominik Paris was the best with the 20th time trial, 1 ”30 from Goldberg and just ahead of Kriechmayr and Striedinger, fresh from the podium in Val d''Isère, Christof Innerhofer instead placed 24th at 1” 46.
