After gigantists and slalomists, the hour of jet men has finally arrived. The white speed circus takes flight from Lake Louise, for the classic two-day World Cup with descent and super-g on Men's Olympic, in the heart of the state of Alberta. Saturday and Sunday, always at 8.15 pm Italian (12.15 in Canada) the two fast races, preceded by the three scheduled descent tests, from Wednesday to Friday (8.15 pm also in this case). In the night, the first bibs to be assigned with all the lights focused on the duelists Beat Feuz and Dominik Paris, the most anticipated men and last year divided by only 20 points in the final race to the crystal ball of descent, while the carabiniere of Val d '' Last took the super-g in the last race, bending the resistance of Vincent Kriechmayr. The native of Upper Austria is perhaps the third big favorite, but beware of the whole Austrian army with Max Franz returning and the bi-Olympic Matthias Mayer, not to mention Norway without Aksel Lund Svindal after so many years, but with the tips Jansrud (world champion in charge of descent) and Kilde, and then Germany of Dressen and Ferstl, France of Theaux and Clarey, the other Swiss Mauro Caviezel who surprised 12 months ago between Lake Louise and Beaver Creek, beyond to the American duo with the eternal Nyman and Bennett. Guaranteed show, with Italy under quota for Canadian races, without Innerhofer, Marsaglia and Cazzaniga, but with a quartet not too bad alongside captain Paris; Peter Fill has a crazy desire to start again after the physical problems of the last seasons, the same goes for Emanuele Buzzi and with a Mattia Casse that since last year seems to have finally been unlocked, but he must realize 100% in the race. And then the Valle d'Aosta Federico Simoni, at his second World Cup experience after last December's debut in Val Gardena. "At Copper Mountain and then here at Lake Louise we worked well - the words on the eve of Emanuele Buzzi, returning after the Wengen crash, when he fell after arriving on the day of his best career result (6th) - Personally, I want to have consistent high-level results this season: it won't be easy right away, because some automatisms are to be improved and in the race it is always different compared to training. There is also excitement, the one I had as a child when I competed in the first races, the first day of school when a new season begins â€. The weather, in the last days, was ideal in Lake Louise and there should be no problems to play a first test of the complete descent. Also called the super-g tracker: on Sunday it will be the task of the Slovenian Pen.
