Yesterday, the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won the second and last training session for tomorrow’s Alpine World Cup descent (11.45 a.m., ORF 1). The 29-year-old is also one of the favorites in today’s Super-G (11.45 a.m., ORF 1). “This is a route that suits us Norwegians and our skiing well. We can just make clean turns,” said Kilde. Double world champion Vincent Kriechmayr – yesterday just 33rd, 2.97 seconds back – is still fighting the track. “I don’t really know why I lost so much time in the upper part. I still have to analyze why. But there are video courses for that,” said the 30-year-old Gramastettner.
“No fair weas ?? n”
Kriechmayr’s aggressiveness is unbroken. “It will not be easy for Kilde, this is not a dull festival for him,” emphasized Austria’s Sportsman of the Year. Daniel Hemetsberger from Nussdorf, who was seventh in the second training session, only contests the descent. The same applies to Otmar Striedinger, who showed up as second yesterday.
The women’s races in Val d’Isere (downhill tomorrow, Super-G on Sunday) will take place without Nicole Schmidhofer. The Styrian, who suffered a complex knee injury there on December 18, 2020, wants to collect training kilometers and return to Zauchensee on January 15.
