Patrick halved on the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen Kng won the seventh Peter Fill

Because of the wind at the top of the organizers shortened the Lauberhorn a minute and a victory in the men's downhill in Wengen World Cup goes to one of the darlings of the house, Patrick Küng.

Is it okay to settle the tens of thousands of spectators who were waiting anxiously for the race and realize the efforts of the organizers of one of the sacred places of alpine skiing downhill but without the Hundschopf and Minschkante and the Kernen They faced a lower speed than usual in our opinion should not go to the scene. Anyway Küng, a former prime December 7 in super-G in Beaver Creek, had his best result a second place in the downhill in Bormio in 2011, more than a third in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2010, and is a worthy winner if only because he beat in this sprint down the big two specialties such as the Austrian Hannes Reichelt, according to 6 cents, and Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal, third at 7 cents, This increases to 82 point advantage Marcel Hirscher in the overall standings but the Austrian slalom tomorrow will have the opportunity of a new controsorpasso, in the ranking of discipline Svindal has exactly 100 lengths of Reichelt as the one who was second before this race, Erik Guay, is finished off risking making a bad flight in the beautiful fast corners after the railway bridge. And fourth best result of the season for the Austrian Max Franz, fifth in Val Gardena as the American Bode Miller, being detached from 35 cents Küng, has played a major turn in these final, sixth another Austrian, Matthias Mayer and the seventh best and most continuous of the Blues this season, Peter Fill, who in the last corner to the left of what we were saying earlier he made a mistake that cost him a great result all'altoatesimo of Castelrotto. Eighth Austrian Romed Baumann, ninth and tenth Frenchman Johan Clarey ex-aequo, to 74 cents in the first place, the Swiss Didier Defago and Beat Feuz, their unfortunate compatriot Carlo Janka who lost skiing left in the last when they were in line with their times. We will update you on the final placings of the other big names of specialties and the other blue.
