He probably deserved it more than anyone else, that first victory of the season that had been repeatedly touched.
And in the race that also applied to the European title, Dominik Fischnaller gave Italy the first individual success in the 2019/2020 World Cup; on the gut of Lillehammer, the 26 year old South Tyrolean has regulated the Russians Semen Pavlichenko and Roman Repilov, at the end respectively distant 174 and 228 millesini. Always on the podium in the season, except for the disqualification of Whistler, of course, the blue tip is in full swing for the crystal ball, now 86 points away from Repilov himself in the standings.
It was also a good race for cousin Kevin, sixth less than seven tenths behind Dominik, definitely satisfied with his performance: “This track exalts me like in no other gut - the words of the winner - It is the third time that I win in Lillehammer, I feel at home because here we can train at the beginning of the season. Going back to the roof of Europe is ... a good feeling. "
On the other hand, the team composed by Dominik Fischnaller, with Andrea Voetter and the double Ivan Nagler-Fabian Malleier, touched the encore at continental level, given that in the team test of Lillehammer it came second place, after the title won a year ago, behind only Austria from Gleirscher, Egle and Steu / Koller, with bronze for Latvia from Aparjods, Zirne and the Sics brothers.
