When Kjetil Jansrud, dropped to ninth, crosses the finish line with the fastest time of the race seems closed. Too higher than the Norwegian on this track and in this discipline to imagine his defeat, also in relation to the excellent race held. Instead, thanks to the sun that slowly light up the track, his performance is resized. Took advantage of the perfect conditions to best Peter Fill, far less than expected today because the descent this year in Super G was not mine came better than seventh. The 34-year old dispute instead of Castelrotto the best race in this discipline for several years now, leaping to his head and remained there until the end, winning the first victory in the season and first in career SuperG after 5 podiums, equaling what did Kristian Ghedina March 5, 2000, the date when the Cortina, just sull'Olympiabakken, won the first - and only - SuperG career. Fill in everything to have three successes in the World Cup after the 2008 Lake Louise downhill on the Streif and the last season. Second place went to Hannes Reichelt, the victim of two flaws that prevent him to win. The ten cents that separate it from the Fill are indeed children of two gleaned retrieved from the sample, but costategli victory. For the Austrian this is the 40th podium finish in the World Cup, the 16th in the discipline in which he won the World Championship gold in Beaver Creek in 2015. Third is rather Erik Guay, confirming for the umpteenth time is to be in amazing shape conditions, is his feeling with this track, on which he had already won two times in his career between Downhill and SuperG. The Canadian scary to Fill remaining in the lead for more than half of the race before handing something in the final and still get the 25th podium finish in the World Cup, eighth in this specialty. Big losers of the day the Norwegians, who see interrupted the streak of five consecutive wins in this race. The best is Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, fourth, while Kjetil Jansrud, great favorite of the vigil, the end is also the seventh even beaten by Beat Feuz fifth and Martin Cater, sixth and best result of his career. With this result, however, Jansrud makes sure the cup of SuperG specialties, boasting 126 points ahead of Kilde when the appeal lacks only the proof of Aspen Finals. The top ten is completed by Bostian Kline, which concludes with an eighth place these three days for him overwhelmingly positive, Mauro Caviezel ninth and tenth Manuel Osborne-Paradis. Beyond Fill, disappoint the other blue: Dominik Paris is only eighteen, but have yet to get off, without ambitions, Emanuele Buzzi, William Bosca and Matteo De Vettori, of which we will give the result as soon as available. As for the general classification, Marcel Hirscher remains first and unassailable with 1275 points, but Kjetil Jansrud jumped to second place with 871, third ex aequo Henrik Kristoffersen and Alexis Pinturault.
