After 2013 and 2017, it was the third speed double for the Carinthian.
Top favorite Arthur Bauchet (Fra) dropped out in the Super-G. “The win is unexpected for me,” said Salcher, who had an ace up his sleeve: “Our head coach set the course, so I knew what to expect.” In the standing class, he clearly won ahead of the Russian Alexej Bugayev (+1.39 seconds). “I drove tactically, not on the last point,” added the winner.
In the visually impaired category, Johannes Aigner from Lower Austria secured his first World Cup medal in second place with guide Matteo Fleischmann. “It was my first race on the slope. That’s why I didn’t expect such a great result,” said Aigner, who was just 0.26 seconds behind Frenchman Hyacinthe Deleplace. Coach Markus Gutenbrunner is also satisfied with the results: “Luck is on our side at the moment.”
