Alpine Skiingmen's world cup
Departure slightly lowered, but regular training in Val Gardena with "Domme" fourth and very fast up to the Humps of the Camel. I return quietly to Innerhofer.

A training course in good conditions, after yesterday's ordeal, decisive for being able to play the third seasonal descent on Saturday.
In Val Gardena it was possible to bring home the only test scheduled, on the eve of the super-g on Friday and the most awaited race on the "Saslong", which (weather permitting) will be staged anyway on shortly shortened track less than 10 seconds, since the decision to cut the first 200 meters of track is final.
The snow has held up well, considering the worry related to the temperatures, and in front of everyone we find ... always them, the hosts in Val Gardena; even without Aksel Lund Svindal, who triumphed here last time in super-g last year, Norway aims very high with Kjetil Jansrud and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (who won the descent 12 months ago), first and second respectively. with a good margin over all.
The downhill champion preceded the much younger teammate by 35 cents (largely earned in the final stretch), with Johan Clarey third at 7 tenths. In the fourth place, at 78 cents from Jansrud, here is an excellent Dominik Paris, if we think above all of the feeling that has always been lacking with this track: the blue ace was very fast up to the "Hump of the Camel" and he was discreetly satisfied after proof.
Far away many of the big ones expected, but it seemed evident that Beat Feuz and Matthias Mayer in particular have pushed very little, especially in the sections of pure smoothness, with the Swiss distant 3 "03 and the Carinthian at 2" 77. Kriechmayr paid 2 "05, Dressen 1" 90, while in the blue house the second best time was signed by a good Emanuele Buzzi, at 1 "95 from the top and from top 15.
The return of Christof Innerhofer? It was discreet, with a final detachment of 3 "15 and the will to return to the race tomorrow in the super-g, to evaluate the state of form even better and decide whether to start Saturday downhill. Peter Fill still paid a lot, 3 "32 after losing constantly along the" home "route, as did Matteo Marsaglia who concluded at 4" 06.
