Vincent Kriechmayr will again open the race, which at this point risks being the only descent on the Zwoelferkogel (a decision by the FIS is still awaited) after today's cancellation. Weather improving, we will start at 11.00: the complete startlist.

Time for a new descent, or rather the first “whole” in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, in a weekend that started badly with the interruption and then the cancellation of the first of the three races with speed in Austria.
With Dominik Paris in command of a race that could have reopened the games for the specialty classification, it is expected that the FIS will make a decision on the possible recovery (extending the series of races on the Zwoelferkogel to Monday) of the descent that replaced one of those jump to Wengen. The feeling is that it is difficult and at that point only two tests remain to close the season, with Beat Feuz at that point increasingly favored for his fourth consecutive crystal ball downhill, with 48 points of margin on Mayer and 118 on the same. Paris.
In any case, on Saturday there will be regular competitions as the weather indicates a clear improvement and a fairly clear sky for the scheduled descent at 11.00; therefore starting from the top (unless the wind gets in the way), as in tests, and big names who have opted for very similar choices with the bibs. Feuz this time went, being the first on the list, on number 5 (today he had 7), leaving the same number 7 to Mayer and then Paris to confirm his number 3 which was a winner, as well as Vincent Kriechmayr himself he will start again with the '1, as has already been done in the world championship race in Cortina.
Curiously, Matthieu Bailet still picked 2 in the even numbers draw, while the series of first in the specialty WCSL saw Clarey still take 9, Sander 11, Janka 13 and Innerhofer 15, before Baumann ( 17) and Jansrud (19), who between them will see Marco Odermatt start with 18. Four blues on the track: in addition to Paris and Innerhofer, also Matteo Marsaglia with 28 and Lele Buzzi with 32 to play for a race at this decisive point in view of the final of Lenzerheide.
