Kvitfjell descent: regret Paris, Hintermann wins

The blue makes a mistake, risks falling and finishes 16th: “It hurts to lose a podium or a victory for a mistake like that…”. Odermatt seventh

A mistake costs Dominik Paris the victory, or at least the podium. The Swiss Hintermann triumphs in the Kvitfjell descent, but there are many regrets for the Italian: he risked falling, got up from a slip and lost over a second. In the end he is 18th, 1″00 behind the leader, with the best last partial and the highest speed. “Playing for the podium or the victory for a stupid mistake makes you angry” Paris is disappointed. The best of the Azzurri is Guglielmo Bosca, in the end 14th at 93/100.

fallen

The match was interrupted for about ten minutes after the fall of the Frenchman Nils Allegre, who ended up in the nets at the end. And today the other Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin, surprise of the season and winner of the two Kitzbuehel descents, wasn’t even at the start. He crashed yesterday in practice and injured his calf. Also out was the Norwegian Stejersted, the protagonist of a scary flight in practice.

odermatt leader

Vincent Kriechmayr (at 8/100) and Cameron Alexander (at 19/100) climb onto the podium and the news is that Marco Odermatt is not among the top three, seventh at 75/100. It is only the third time this season that the Cup leader has not reached the podium, but his advantage over Sarrazin has risen to 858 points and between now and the end of the season there are still 1200 up for grabs.

Innerhofer finishes 20th at 1″09, Zazzi 24th at 1″23 ahead of Casse (1″26).

A super-G is scheduled for tomorrow in Kvitfjell, then the men’s World Cup will fly to the United States for the double event in Palisades Tahoe and Aspen.
