Beat Feuz (SUI)
The closest Swiss is Beat Feuz. The old master can’t quite call up his skills today. Especially in the middle part, Feuz has some wobbles and ranks on the five.
18:23
Marco Odermatt (SUI)
Strong performance by the Swiss! Odermatt drives with a lot of courage and risk and is almost rewarded with the lead. What a devil of a ride by the Swiss, who wasn’t technically perfect but was always on the attack and ended up on second place just behind Kilde.
18:20
Dominik Paris (ITA)
In addition to the route, the weather also does the rest here. It’s very windy around the slope and visibility isn’t quite optimal either. Dominik Paris, who is classified in eighth place, is also struggling with this.
18:19
Johan Clarey (FRA)
The next top driver has a hard time with the demanding route. In the end, Clarey was far behind and of course he wasn’t at all happy with his seventh place.
18:15
Daniel Hemetsberger (AUT)
Last year, Hemetsberger had his first top ten finish in Beaver Creek. The runner-up from the previous week didn’t do much today. The Austrian is in fourth place, well over a second behind.
18:12
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (NOR)
Very strong performance by Kilde! The Norwegian has a great rhythm and you can almost see the self-confidence in him. In the end, the winner from Lake Louise crosses the finish line with a lead of eight tenths, so he has a good chance of winning again.
18:10
Josef Ferstl (GER)
In the upper section, the first flat section, Ferstl loses a lot of time. As a result, the German is getting into the race better and better, but can no longer make up the deficit and is in third place.
18:09
Bryce Bennett (USA)
Things are going even worse for the first home starter. Bennett can’t handle the demanding track at all. He is more than a second behind the leading James Crawford.
18:08
Matteo Marsaglia (Italy)
Very restless performance by the Italian, who slips too much on some swings. Marsaglia didn’t get an optimal run and had to settle for third place for the time being.
18:05
James Crawford (CAN)
In comparison to Baumann, Crawdord has a somewhat narrower line in one passage or another. That is probably exactly the middle and therefore also the time that will help the Canadian to just take the lead here.
18:02
Romed Baumann (GER)
Romed Baumann will kick things off! The German gets a clean run without any major mistakes. Every now and then it pushes him a bit too far. The next runners will show how much the time will be worth in the end.
17:54
Good German team performance
Five of the seven DSV starters took home World Cup points in the downhill from Lake Louise. Thomas Dreßen made it into the top ten in eighth place, as did Romed Baumann in tenth place. Dominik Schwaiger in twelfth place just missed the leap into the top rankings.
17:45
Strong Swiss trio
Switzerland also seems to have some very hot irons in the fire again this winter. With Marco Odermatt (third place), Beat Feuz (5th) and Niels Hintermann (7th), a trio made it to top positions in Lake Louise. Today maybe even more should be possible.
17:13
Solid start for ÖSV team
In the Norwegian’s victory in Lake Louise, Daniel Hemetsberger narrowly missed out on the place in the sun. The Austrian, together with Matthias Mayer, held up the flag of the Alpine republic in fourth place, which made a good impression with two other drivers in the top 15.
17:11
Second descent of the winter
The 6 p.m. Beaver Creek run will be the second run of the season. Last week the speed specialists hit the slopes in Lake Louise. Aleksander Kilde secured the victory, which means that he is automatically one of the top favorites today.
Warm welcome
Hello and welcome to the departure of the men from Beaver Creek! The live ticker starts in good time before the start of the race.
