Of these, two world championships had won them in 2009 and in 2013 right in the area of the Hautes-Alpes department which is the temple of speed on skis. Origone touched the speed of 228,862 km / h ahead of the Frenchman Simon Billy (227,592) and the Austrian Klaus Schrottshammer (226,843), fourth the defending champion Bastien Montes (226,700). Further back, the other blue Ivan Origone, Simone's younger brother, ninth (221.538), while Emilio Giacomelli was eliminated in the semifinals.
Among women it is unfortunately official the handover between Valentina Greggio and the Swedish Britta Backlund, winner with 221,266 km / h in front of compatriot Lisa Hovland-Uden (220.318), while the 28 year old Verbanese, winner of the last two World Cups, must be satisfied of bronze with 218.314 km / h, for a trifle in front of the incredible Austrian Nicole Schmidhofer, winner of the downhill skiing cup and today fourth with 217,590 km / h.
