Ryan Cochran-Siegle (USA)
Ryan Cochran-Siegle takes it unusually easy and deliberately slows down several times in the upper part. Apparently visibility is not that good there. The US boy wants to attack again with a very long jump, but gambles and flies past the next goal.
18:09
Dominik Paris (ITA)
Dominik Paris has serious problems at the beginning and has to work hard to stay on course at all. The South Tyrolean is not lacking in commitment, every goal is attacked. But that was simply too unround overall.
18:08
Gino Caviezel (SUI)
Gino Caviezel is really fast at 108 km/h! However, the Swiss does not have good timing and is repeatedly carried too far. That’s why he ended up 0.25 seconds behind the leader, Alex Pinturault.
18:06
Alexis Pinturault (FRA)
Alexis Pinturault starts like a fire brigade and takes half a second off Baumann in the steep. The Frenchman makes a few small mistakes, but thanks to his strong technique he always gets back on the ideal line quickly. Guide!
18:04
Romed Baumann (GER)
The first German is on the way! Romed Baumann is also committed, but drives a little more controlled than the Norwegian before. It’s a bit slower at the beginning, but he takes the entrance into the flatter middle part well and is immediately on the move again. Baumann pulls the first jump very far, but he quickly regains speed there. Overall a good run by Romed Baumann. What is time worth?
18:02
Adrian Smiseth Sejersted (NOR)
Here we go! Adrian Smiseth Sejersted opens the Super-G in Beaver Creek if the conditions are good! The Norwegian throws himself into the immediately very steep slope and masters the first goals well. After a long swing to the left, Sejersted suddenly carried it too far and missed the next goal. First runner, first failure!

Switzerland hopes for Odermatt
In the Swiss Ski team, hopes naturally rest on Marco Odermatt. The 25-year-old won the first Super-G of the season with ease and always impressed in the downhills. Yesterday he was a full six hundredths off Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. Apart from Odermatt, however, Switzerland has not much to offer this winter so far. Beat Feuz is still a long way from his top form, Niels Hintermann and Stefan Rogentin have mostly followed behind. Gino Caviezel, Justin Murisier Loic Meillard and Gilles Roulin also feature in this Super-G.

ÖSV duo wants to be on the podium
The Austrian athletes just missed the podium in the downhill. Matthias Mayer was fourth, only a hundredth off third place, Vincent Kriechmayr was right behind. The two are still by far the hottest candidates for a top position in ÖSV dress. Raphal Haaser is always capable of something in the Super-G. Stefan Babinsky, Marco Schwarz, Julian Schütter, Christoph Krenn, Otmar Striedinger and Daniel Hemetsberger will also start.

Sander leads the DSV team
In the German team, Andreas Sander convinced with fifth place in the first Super-G of the season in Lake Louise. The 33-year-old starts the race alongside Romed Baumann, who was the best German in sixth place yesterday in the downhill, and has the best chance of a top placing. Thomas Dreßen could not convince yesterday after his strong comeback in Canada and also has his weaker speed discipline in the Super-G. For the 29-year-old, it’s all about collecting more competition practice and building up form. Josef Ferstl and Dominik Schwaiger complete the DSV squad.

Kilde against Odermatt
Two riders have shaped the not too long World Cup winter so far. Speed king Aleksander Aamodt Kilde from Norway and the Swiss all-rounder Marco Odermatt have each celebrated two victories in the four previous races. In the two downhills in Lake Louise and Beaver Creek as well as the only Super-G in Lake Louise so far, the two have always taken the first two places and were in a different league than the rest. Anything but another private duel between the two today Race would be a surprise.
Warm welcome
Hello and welcome to the second part of the Beaver Creek Speed Weekend! After yesterday’s downhill run, today’s Super-G race starts at 6 p.m. on the Raptor slope.
