Kyle Negomir (USA)
Kyle Negomir is struggling with cloud cover that is casting more and more shadows on the track and robbing the drivers of their speed. The American is pushing hard, but simply can’t get the required km(h) on the boards.
13:18
Loïc Meillard (SUI)
Of course, Loïc Meillard has the technique to survive on the Lauberhorn, but he is approaching things much too cautiously today. Again and again the upstand angles are too high and no drive comes in at all. In the end, almost three seconds are missing.
13:17
Daniel Hemetsberger (AUT)
Daniel Hemetsberger delivers a good race for a long time and lets you ski beautifully at full speed. In the middle section, the Austrian made a few small driving errors and lost tenths. Hemetsberger even falls out of the top ten!
13:14
James Crawford (CAN)
James Crawford no longer has a chance of a good result early on because he has to move sideways in the Brüggli-S to stay on course. The gap then increases due to the lack of speed.
13:13
Miha Hrobat (SLO)
The next failure! Miha Hrobat takes a powerful blow and is almost knocked out, but somehow stays on her skis. The next goal is still no longer reachable.
13:11
Ryan Cochran-Siegle (USA)
Ryan Cochran-Siegle pushes in a little too much at the top and lands twice on the Hundschopf jump. That takes a bit of rhythm, but the American stays on track and gets a lot out of it. He runs out of breath a bit at the end, but still manages to finish in a decent sixth place.
13:08
Jan Zabystran (CZE)
What does the surprise winner of Val Gardena do? Jan Zabystran clearly drives with a lot of self-confidence and attacks fully, but somehow seems a bit tense and is then pushed out a bit twice. This costs time and, above all, speed, which is then missing in the final part.
13:04
Raphael Haaser (AUT)
Raphael Haaser drives a similarly tight line as his teammate Odermatt and is also way too late in front of the Kernen-S. He also has to take off, but quickly gets back up to speed and then catches up. But it’s not quite enough anymore and just behind Odermatt it’s five.
1:01 p.m
Dominik Paris (ITA)
Very short appearance by Dominik Paris! After a short jump, the Italian lands too much on the inside ski, folds away and goes off course. The next gate can no longer be reached.
1:00 p.m
Nils Allegre (FRA)
There are now some decent hits on the track and more and more shadows are falling on the course. Nils Allegre delivers a decent ride in these conditions and is on course for the top five for a long time, but is still a few tenths behind on the finish slope.
12:57
Marco Odermatt (SUI)
Now comes Marco Odermatt! The overall World Cup leader works hard at the top, pushes hard until the third gate and is right at the front. But then the Swiss wants too much and has to really slow down before the Kernen-S. Odermatt then risks everything and takes the closest line possible, but can no longer get close to the podium.
12:55
Alexis Monney (SUI)
Is there something to cheer about for the home fans now? Alexis Monney has his problems and drifts too far several times so that no real move can be made. If you go into the Brüggli-S at too little speed, there is simply nothing that can be done afterwards. Only ninth place for the second in the last Super G in Livigno.
12:51
Lukas Feurstein (AUT)
That was nothing! Shortly after the start, Lukas Feurstein gets on his skis himself and robs himself of a lot of speed. The Austrian then approaches it aggressively, but can only limit the damage.
12:50
Stefan Rogentin (SUI)
Stefan Rogentin has already been on the podium twice in Wengen. The Swiss releases his skis nicely, keeps lining up very closely and then has the famous lucky charm from the Lauberhorn on his side: just as he races under the bridge, the train passes over it. But it doesn’t help! Rogentin slips too much at the back and checks in fourth place.
12:47
Franjo von Allmen (SUI)
Now it’s getting loud! The first Swiss is on the move, pushing hard at the top and following a very tight line. Franjo von Allmen irons out a few wobbles in the middle section at high speed, gets through the Brüggli-S cleanly and quickly and is level with Franzoni before the finish slope. But the Italian worked magic in the last few meters and stayed ahead.
12:45
Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT)
What does the winner of Beaver Creek show today? Vincent Kriechmayr gets off to a strong start and makes full use of his technical strengths. But then he also slips away, even touches the side net and can no longer get going properly in the Brüggli-S. Kriechmayr is also missing by over a second at the end!
12:42
Guglielmo Bosca (ITA)
The first failure! Guglielmo Bosca wants to get very close to the goals, threads in and is eliminated. At least the Italian can stay on the boards and avoid a fall.
12:40
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted (NOR)
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted chooses a very cheeky and tight line and is rewarded with a new top speed. However, one or two small driving errors mean that the Norwegian is always just behind. Shortly before the end, Sejersted completely gambled away again, had to correct and lost a whole second.
12:38
Stefan Babinsky (AUT)
Stefan Babinsky does it significantly better than the two previous athletes. The first of an impressive eleven Austrians that day pushes hard and delivers a truly brutal ride. In the penultimate sector, Babinsky sets the fastest time and is almost on a par with Franzoni, but can’t stay on the gas on the finish slope because he runs out of grain. Second place!
12:36
Cameron Alexander (CAN)
Cameron Alexander is not coping at all today. The Canadian somehow shudders his way down the slope and accumulates a gap of almost three seconds.
12:34
Mattia Casse (ITA)
Mattia Casse jumps shorter on the Hundschopf, quickly has snow under her boards again and rides more safely. Early on, the Italian had 3 km/h less on the speedometer than his compatriot and was immediately half a second behind. There is simply not enough traction to make anything happen on this demanding route.
12:18
Giovanni Franzoni (ITA)
Let’s go! Giovanni Franzoni opens the longest Super G of this winter! The third in the Super G of Val Gardena gets off to a pretty wild start, jumps 40 meters on the Hundschopf and almost goes off course. The pace is incredibly high today and the route is well prepared. Franzoni also takes a few detours at the back and sets the first time with 1:45, 19 minutes.
12:18
Swiss quartet wants to attack
Switzerland has four hot irons in the fire at the home game in Wengen. In addition to the always favored overall World Cup leader Marco Odermatt and last year’s winner Franjo von Allmen, Stefan Rogentin and Alexis Monney also have demands. Rogentin has been in the top ten in every Super G so far, Monney recently impressed in Livigno in second place. The Swiss team is completed today by Loic Meillard, Justin Murisier, Marco Kohler and Alessio Miggiano.
12:15
ÖSV without black
There was a bitter setback for the Austrian team in advance. Livigno winner Marco Schwarz had to leave Wengen in weak health after suffering from stomach flu and missed the entire weekend. Accordingly, the hopes in the red-white-red camp rest primarily on Vincent Kriechmayer, who has already won a Super G this winter. Raphael Haaser has already been on the podium twice, and Stefan Babinsky and Daniel Hemetsberger can also be expected. Lukas Feurstein, Andreas Ploier, Vincent Wieser, Daniel Danklmaier, Manuel Traninger and Stefan Rieser are also starting for the ÖSV today.
12:07
Jocher leads the DSV trio
After a disappointing speed season so far, there was recently a ray of hope in the German team. Simon Jocher raced to fifth place in the Super G in Livigno and only missed the podium by six hundredths. The 29-year-old now wants to continue his rising form in Wengen. Meanwhile, veteran Romed Baumann is still waiting for his first top 15 result this season. The German squad is completed by Luis Vogt.
12:01
Four races, four winners
Four Super G events have already been held this Olympic winter. Another rider ended up at the top of the podium four times. Marco Odermatt won at Copper Mountain, Vincent Kriechmayr at Beaver Creek. In Val Gardena, Jan Zabystran surprised the competition and most recently in Livigno, Marco Schwarz was ahead. Since the Super G in Wengen is considered one of the fastest of the season, strong downhill skiers like Franjo von Allmen, who won the Super G here last year, should also have a very good chance.
12:00
Welcome
Hello and welcome to the alpine racing weekend in Wengen! It starts at 12:30 p.m. with a Super G on the legendary Lauberhorn track.
