Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

The second descent, the complete one on the legendary Swiss track, sees Domme treating himself to a third place that is worth regaining the red bib. The Austrian, without having competed in the tests, wins in front of the home idol and King of Lauberhorn. Odermatt, 2 cents from the podium, disappoints Kilde. And Carlo Janka greets everyone.

The real Lauberhorn never disappoints, and it was a real spectacle even today along the more than 4 km of the bis descent of Wengen, the sixth specialty event for the men's World Cup.
He arrives precisely in the race that he should not have played, given that he was prevented by the Austrian health authorities from leaving his country until the eve of the super-g, due to a controversial positivity at Covid, thus skipping the two tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. Vincent Kriechmayr's first hit of the season. Let alone, in the Swiss house and beating (by 34 cents) the King of this track, that Beat Feuz who even today loses the possibility of signing poker like Franz Klammer, the controversies that have already begun to flare up.
Nothing to say about the performance of the world champion (today at the tenth gem in CdM, the fourth downhill and the second in Wengen after 2019), he was the only champion who at this moment offers the queen discipline, not practically nothing wrong for almost two and a half minutes of the race, while giving more than 50 cents to Feuz in the upper section of the run. It is precisely the Swiss who has the greatest regrets for a few too many smudges before the Hanneg-schuss, errors that have not prevented him from getting on the podium for the umpteenth time, ahead of Dominik Paris by a tenth. .
Here it is, the second top 3 on the Lauberhorn for the blue champion, after the 2nd place in 2020 just behind Feuz: if we want, even Domme can complain for having finished very long before the Hundschopf, also suffering on the Kernen-S, not done at yesterday's levels, but otherwise his performance was really of quality and it is worth regaining the red bib, even if the downhill classification remains an incredible battle before Kitz's double (and there is no need to add anything else thinking about Paris on the Streif ...).
Just two cents from the Italjet captain comes a Marco Odermatt for whom the adjectives are over: absolute debut on the Lauberhorn complete, after yesterday's 2nd place, and fourth place for the absolute ruler of the World Cup. Fifth Matthias Mayer, 51 cents from his compatriot in triumph, ahead of Martin Cater (great race of the Slovenian, 6th at + 0 "66), while he disappointed the one who today wore the red bib for the first time, an Aleksander Aamodt Kilde condemned by moving to Kernen-S and at the end 7th with 98 cents behind.
