Another 4th place in the temple, but Innerhofer is happy: "Placement that rewards my work"

The 36-year-old from Gais was only 4 cents away from returning to the podium of the super-g in Kitzbuehel, but the satisfaction is great. "With the physical difficulties they had, 50% did the head". Paris furious for his mistake, so much concern for the injury to Cazzaniga (taken away by helicopter).

Another fourth place, the second in the space of 24 hours, in a difficult day for the rest of the blue team who had brought home an excellent result on Sunday in the second downhill in Kitzbuehel. The super-g on the Streifalm sees Christof Innerhofer touch the podium again (in this discipline, in Kitz he had already succeeded twice, the last one the 2nd place in 2017), this time only 4 cents away, in a Monday that instead sees Dominik Paris immediately make a mistake at the third goal and leave furious, Marsaglia the only other blue in the points and Davide Cazzaniga who leaves the track by helicopter, with the fear that there may be serious damage to the left knee strained to stay up after having missed the line in that very complicated first step. “I knew I had a good performance, but not perfect - Innerhofer's analysis to the microphones of Ettore Giovannelli (Rai Sport) - I left a few tenths in the first part, but in the end I am rewarded with a good placement. Today there was frozen snow, it was difficult to have good sensations because the skiing did not always respond as you wanted, but in this super-g you have to have a lot of courage and I'm happy, beyond 4 cents from the podium. Covid? I did these races more with my head than with my body, at least 50% "I pulled it out mentally".
