It will be the tenth of the eleven runs of a very intense World Cup season and with a crystal ball in the queen specialty, still to be assigned.
The first of Kvitfjell's triptych shuffled the cards, even if in the end not much has changed in the fight that seems reduced to three, from leader Aleksander Aamodt Kilde to the trophy holder, Beat Feuz, just 3 points away from Matthias Mayer, today third in front of the two rivals, at -28 from the Norwegian.
The second consecutive challenge on the "Olympiabakken" will start on Saturday, again at 11.30 (live on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), with the expectation to understand if there will be the same surprises of race-1, with Niels Hintermann and Cameron Alexander winners ex aequo and tomorrow at the start respectively with bibs 19 and 22 (the Canadian jumped in a flash in the top 30). Before them, there will be all the big names, in a startlist that proposes Franz with the number 1, Hemetsberger with the 3 and then Matteo Marsaglia, today 31st, with 4 before Kilde who has chosen the number 5 again.
Beat Feuz "dropped" to No. 7 and, while Matthias Mayer opted for a slightly higher number (13), Dominik Paris took home the 9. Today tenth, the Italian champion will have to hope, for remain in the running in a specialty ranking that sees him fifth at 108 points behind Kilde, in a success and at the same time a counter-performance of the three up front.
Before and after compared to Domme, Cochran-Siegle and Danklmaier should not be underestimated, another man on the podium should be Johan Clarey (17), even if such a track that offers very small gaps, really opens the range to many names. Christof Innerhofer will be the third of the Italians at the start, drawn with the number 18, then we will see with 21 Mattia Casse, in need of points to go to the finals in Courchevel-Méribel also downhill. Same goal as Guglielmo Bosca, who would need another great race, after the splendid 9th place today, to make it.
The Milanese will start with number 47, after Lele Buzzi (37) and before Molteni (54), today great 14th, and Pietro Zazzi (58).
With the bib number 31, all on their feet for the last performance in the World Cup by Kjetil Jansrud: only after the Norwegian descent will there be a technical break and the opportunity, for a few minutes, to dedicate a well-deserved party to a champion on the track and a gentleman appreciated by the whole white circus.
