Male speed is back with the Kvitfjell triptych: last chance for Paris, today the first test

At 11.30 the first of the two training on Olympiabakken, where on Friday and Saturday there will be two crucial descents for the specialty cup (Sunday then the super-g). Eight blues at the start, with Kilde defending the small margin over Feuz and Jansrud at the last performance.

After the two Garmisch-Partenkirchen slaloms, men's speed returns to the World Cup, 40 days before the Kitzbuehel races, and Kvitfjell will probably be a decisive triptych, which will host on Friday the recovery of the canceled descent at Lake Louise and then at Beaver Creek, Saturday the "original" descent and Sunday the penultimate super-g of the season before the finals. The fight for the crystal ball in descent is very open and beautiful, with Beat Feuz looking for the fifth after having unlocked himself in Kitz (and in the meantime the Olympic title has also arrived ...) and having reduced the gap to only 8 points. red bib Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who will try to exploit the "home factor" to repel the attack of the Swiss, but also of Mayer and Odermatt, just over 40 points away, and of a Dominik Paris called to the company , with three races available, to recover the 89 lengths from the leader. At 11.30 today the start of the first test, opened by Vincent Kriechmayr followed immediately by Christof Innerhofer with 2 and Kilde with number 3. For Dominik Paris bib 9, before Matteo Marsaglia (10) and Marco Odermatt (11), while Feuz is drawn with the 17th. Saturday will be the last race of Kjetil Jansrud's career, who will start a special approach today on his favorite track, starting with number 31 Eight blues at the gate, with the return of Lele Buzzi after a long time in the European Cup: bib number 36 for the sappadino, who will start after 30 for Mattia Casse and before Guglielmo Bosca (50), Nicolò Molteni (59) and Pietro Zazzi with the number 64 on trial.
