It seemed that this time someone could beat him, but with a second run of 49 "819 and a new record of the Igls track, Felix Loch takes home the ninth win of the season out of ten races (he was only beaten in one sprint), which he delivers in his hands also the seventh absolute crystal ball.
Behind the German legend, just 6 thousandths of a second behind the Russian Semen Pavlichenko, who had closed the first run in command and thus hits the first podium of the season. On the third step of the podium is placed, more than 2 tenths of a second, another Teutonic, Johannes Ludwig in fifth appearance on the podium this year. The German consolidates the second place in the general, also due to the imperfections that characterized the descents of Dominik Fischnaller.
A small mistake in the first run and a much more marked one in the central section of the second, compromised the presence on the podium of the most awaited blue, relegating him to sixth place right in front of his cousin Kevin. Between the blues and the podium also the two hosts placed themselves, the Gleirscher brothers with David fourth ahead of Nico.
Serious mistakes by the Russian Repilov, 11th at the end, and by the Austrian Mueller, who could not complete the second run, 28th the other blue Alex Gufler. On Sunday morning the sprint races with the possibility for the Azzurri and above all for Dominik Fischnaller to try again the assault on the podium.
