An ideal handover, from the last red-cross champion able to win the World Cup, at the end of the 2009/2010 season, to the one who will most likely bring it back to Swiss-Ski, 12 years later.
From Carlo Janka to Marco Odermatt, a little bit of everything happened today in Wengen, obviously starting from the 24-year-old's victory in the super-g on the Lauberhorn who is rewriting chapters of history. The news of the last hour, however, is the announcement that will arrive shortly (press conference scheduled at 15.30) by the Olympic champion and winner of the absolute crystal ball. Janka, in fact, has decided to retire with immediate or almost immediate effect, in the sense that the veteran from Graubünden, at 35 and after not being able to compete in any race in the season due to continuous back problems, will close his career right here in Wengen.
Carlo wants to greet everyone with the two runs most dear to him, Friday and Saturday, after having done well in practice. We will report your statements later.
Words that Odermatt struggles to find instead, in the second consecutive triumph at home after the giant from Adelboden, the fourth in his career in super-g for another 100 points which means reaching almost 400 points of margin against the first pursuer, precisely that one. 'Aleksander Aamodt Kilde who today beat by 23 cents, in the general classification of a cup that is increasingly his own. "I really have no words, even if I was clearly hoping for this super-g, compared to the descents that await us, in a good result - confesses" Odi "- I soon understood that the speed was there and I believe that my skiman did a really great job today. I took the right risks, it's fantastic that everything worked out like this ”.
If Kilde, who keeps the red bib with 61 points of margin on Odermatt himself two tests from the end (after the Olympics, between Kvitfjell and the finals), he still says he is "satisfied in general with the race, even if I could have filed something in central section ”, Matthias Mayer returns to the podium after two difficult days in Bormio. “It was a different super-g than usual, but simple enough. I managed to attack and I am satisfied with both the performance and the result, all in all, ”the Carinthian told the OESV website.
