With the reversal of the program that proved to be more than apt, if we think of today's conditions for the slalom on the Ganslern, the 82nd edition of the Hahnenkammm-Rennen is preparing for the grand finale, Sunday with the second descent on that myth which is called Streif.
48 hours after the success of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, it is time for the eighth race of the season for the queen discipline, already crucial in the fight for a specialty cup that sees the Norwegian lead again, with more than fifty points ahead of Matthias Mayer. AAK has chosen again the bib n ° 11 as on Friday, but compared to race-1 many big names have chosen a bit higher numbers, since there is a lot of fresh snow on the track and even in the first descent this proved to be a very important aspect.
At 13.30 the start (two hours later than Friday), with Daniel Hemetsberger to inaugurate the great challenge to the symbolic track for downhill skiers, while Cater and Hintermann will be able to give, as well as the Austrian already close to the podium between Bormio and Wengen , the first useful references. With bib n ° 5, Johan Clarey will go to the assault of that dream called the first victory in the World Cup after the fantastic 2nd place two days ago, at the age of 41. With 7, Marco Odermatt who knows he can't do even better than 5th place, with Beat Feuz, only eighth in Kitz's first appointment, called to the company to go to the assault of Kilde's red bib and defend his throne.
The Norwegian, as mentioned, will start after the technical break, with Matthias Mayer who, being able to choose his WCSL runner-up bib, went to 13, leaving Paris the possibility to opt for 7 or 15 as the best numbers: Domme he went on the second option, after having experienced all the difficulties in the first descent, with the number 5, only finished in 27th place. To look for poker in the descent-legend will need another gear, while Christof Innerhofer knows he has to limit the damage in the sliding section after the Steilhang, lethal for him in race-1.
He will leave the gate with the No. 16 Inner, followed by Vincent Kriechmayr and Matteo Marsaglia, 48 hours ago the best of the Azzurri who will be back in six at the start. Mattia Casse will go with number 26, Guglielmo Bosca (15th in the first descent) with 43 and Pietro Zazzi, to collect other useful points, penultimate at the start with bib 50.
