Dominik Paris (ITA)
There are probably no strong times right from the start. Paris takes a big deficit early on and the time ticks down mercilessly due to mistakes in the double goal. He’s “only” 14.
12:15
Gino Caviezel (SUI)
In the Tauberschuss it’s all about having a lot of speed and being able to handle the subsequent bumps well. Then you can almost absorb the mood of the audience and just let it go. Gino Caviezel cannot build up the pace and is behind early on. His run is leisurely and he only finishes in 16th place. Germany’s Sander is still last.
12:12
Race briefly interrupted again
After Feuerstein has released the gate from its anchorage, the race has to be interrupted again. We’ll continue in a few minutes.
12:11
Lukas Feurstein (AUT)
After a small interruption because a gate had to be reattached, we continue. Lukas Feurstein is undeterred and delivers a strong performance, especially in the second sector. Here he is fourth fastest! Further down it gets a bit risky. He is lucky to get through his jump and then ends up scoring a double goal. Luckily he was able to stabilize himself and didn’t fall.
12:07
Franjo von Allmen (SUI)
He is only 22 years old and is racing in his twelfth World Cup! Here Franjo von Allmen bravely goes through the route and leaves some veterans behind him. His course is like one piece. He immediately goes into the downhill position and is in third place today after ninth place. Craziness! Congratulations in advance at this point.
12:05
Ryan Cochran-Siegle (USA)
Ryan Cochran-Siegle is the first American to hit the slopes. His driving style is very calm, he regulates the whole thing nicely with his legs. The run is inconspicuous, but good. Seventh place for him.
12:03
The intermediate result
Odermatt worked his magic and his time of 1:10.13 probably won’t be beatable. Haaser is second ahead of Kriechmayr.
12:01
Nils Allegre (FRA)
Is he doing magic again? France’s Nils Allegre actually surprised everyone yesterday and triumphed on the “salt slope”. He doesn’t cope quite as well with today’s completely different conditions. He already lacks a lot of time in the second section. Through strong technique he reduces the gap in the technical passage. His body tension is good, but the pressure points are not right. Tenth place.
11:58
Justin Murisier (SUI)
Too far away! Starting with a slow pace, a few unnecessary mistakes creep in. Justin Murisier gradually loses ground and hits a few edges too inaccurately. ninth place.
11:56
Raphael Haaser (AUT)
Go on! In the most technically demanding part, the athletes lose a lot to the top. This is also because Odermatt is a great slalom rider. Raphael Haaser lags behind the development early on, but can pick up again in between. He takes risks on the jumps and builds up steam. That is his key to success. The technology remains stable and the 26-year-old remains ice cold. A great second place!
11:55
James Crawford (CAN)
Sector one fits, but at first glance there would have been more if Crawfod had skied more. His swings are sometimes too extensive and take time. He can keep up the pace at times, but that doesn’t make much of a difference in the overall balance. After all, he displaces Adrian Smiseth Sejersted from third place.
11:52
Stefan Rogentin (SUI)
Actually, he was always pretty close to the top ten. Rogentin is a hard worker, but can’t put his talent to the test now. His too upright style costs him a lot of time. At the pressure point he is slightly too late and ends up sixth.
11:50
Cyprien Sarrazine (FRA)
Yesterday he pulled out the crowbar too much and wanted to force it with brute force. In this run it looks smoother, although he still lets the Si move. He pushes himself to the limit and unfortunately isn’t rewarded! After a major driving error, he stopped the run. A pity!
11:48
Loïc Meillard (SUI)
Compatriot Meillard wants to attack Odermatt’s brilliant run. At the top he is very close. But then he goes about it too well and only relies on technology. He doesn’t drive calmly enough and wastes meter after meter. Only eighth place ahead of Sahnder.
11:46
Marco Odermatt (SUI)
Is Kriechmayr’s best time now wobbling? Odermatt would be completely capable of doing that. The Swiss puts a lot of pressure on the skis and plows across the slopes. His line looks really good and he stays on the edge mercilessly. In the meantime, this is already at the limit. Craziness! He takes well over half a second off the competition. Hats off! That will be the time to beat today. There’s no way around it!
11:43
Guglielmo Bosca (ITA)
Yesterday the Italian surprisingly landed in second place. He also started well in the fifth Super G of the winter and even took a few hundredths off the current leader in the first few meters. In sector two, Bosca can’t find his rhythm and has to bite. Overall, the ride seems too unsettled. Many corrections allow the hundredths to be added up. Only sixth place for him.
11:42
Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT)
The 2021 winner rides an extremely “subtle blade,” which is what makes him so fast so often. Here he practically flies over the slope and shows how light-footed it can look. Turns and speed are right. His line is pretty tight and that also ensures that small mistakes in the second sector don’t have a big impact on time. Kriechmayr takes the lead and celebrates at the bottom!
11:39
Stefan Babinsky (AUT)
The athletes start in Garmisch at two-minute intervals. Stefan Babinsky is now the first Austrian to start. He doesn’t do too well in the first part, but he can keep the gap quite small in the second sector too. The jumps look good and the line gets better as it progresses. Second place initially.
11:37
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted (NOR)
There are 33 gates to pass through here. The lower part is particularly important, as you should not ride too upright. The Norwegian has a good basic pace and uses the edges hard. His unconventional style suits the track well and the lead is good after three sectors. He carries this through to the finish. Strong!
11:35
Jeffrey Read (CAN)
Good start for the Canadian, who is immediately faster than the Italian in front of him. Read picks up a lot of speed, but has to fight after the second intermediate time. He manages to stabilize himself and keep the distances short – the line fits. In the lower sector he loses valuable time and “only” comes second.
11:33
Mattia Casse (ITA)
The night was clear and so the moisture came out of the slopes. The Italian also notices that the conditions are not quite optimal. In the top part it is a bit slower, but then you can’t push it backwards. He edges the ski well and fights. This pays off at a good pace. He sits down in front of the German with over a second and a half. Craziness!
11:31
Andreas Sander (GER)
And with that into the competition. The 34-year-old from Schwelm is the first. Andreas Sanders’ greatest success so far is winning the silver medal in the downhill at the 2021 World Cup. Today’s route is of course based on yesterday’s slope. In the meantime there are a few smaller sections that are more like a slalom and are technically demanding. Sanders starts well on the Kandahar slope. Normally starting number one is always experimental, but of course he knows the route. He drives relatively short distances, but seems restless here and there. The balance is missing in the middle section – even with the double right in front of the FIS aisle.
11:22
Eight ÖSV athletes
Of course, Austria’s hopes for success rest primarily on Vincent Kriechmayr and Raphael Haaser. In addition, six other drivers are competing for the ÖSV and want to give their best at the end in Garmisch.
11:17
Eleven Swiss there
In addition to World Cup leader Marco Odermatt and yesterday’s third place, Loïc Meillard, Switzerland still has nine more irons in the fire. It will be interesting to see how the drivers cope with the conditions.
11:12
Stars want compensation
Last night the temperatures were below -3°C, so the slope for the second Super G should be much more stable and, above all, much harder. The external conditions should not prevent the favorites from their mission of making amends. All eyes are of course on Marco Odermatt (SUI), Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT), Dominik Paris (ITA) and Cyprien Sarrazin (FRA). The international competition is completed by Adrian Smiseth Sejersted (NOR) and Ryan Cochran-Siegle (USA). Both showed yesterday that they can keep up with the leaders.
11:03
Disillusionment at the DSV
At the home World Cup, Simon Jocher (SC Garmisch) was the 18th best German (+1.10s). Romed Baumann (22nd/+1.17) and Andreas Sander (28th/+1.56s) were far behind. Sander will open the Super G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at 11:30.
10:55
Favorites with problems
Due to extremely high temperatures, the route in Garmisch was treated with a relatively large amount of salt, which caused numerous top drivers to have serious problems. The Swiss Marco Odermatt narrowly missed the podium, but for the first time this winter he did not place at least among the top three athletes. Cyprien Sarrazin, double winner on the Streif in Kitzbühel, was in a losing battle on the Kandahar and only finished tenth (+0.64s).
10:45
Surprises in the first Super G
There was a quite surprising winner in yesterday’s Super G: the Frenchman Nils Allegre celebrated his first World Cup victory at the end (1:11.92 minutes). The Italian Guglielmo Bosca (+0.18s) came second ahead of the Swiss Loïc Meillard (+0.25s). “I actually felt bad this morning,” explained the winner after the race. But the “conditions with the salt” were “astonishingly good”.
