The twenty-eight year old from South Tyrol, third yesterday in the traditional format, today was perfect by identifying the surgical lines that allowed him to obtain very high speed peaks, allowing him to make a difference compared to the competition.
Fischnaller who we remember used again the sled that is usually used by the other blue Leon Felderer, he proved to be particularly at ease on the gut that hosted the 2014 Olympics. In addition to yesterday's podium, Dominik in fact, could have already last week to celebrate the first podium of the season if the track conditions had not deteriorated.
For Fischnaller thus arrives the seventh career victory in the individual field, the second in the sprint format, a result that gives great morale in view of the next calendar appointments and above all inserts the name of the South Tyrolean Carabiniere among the eligible candidates for a five-circle medal .
