“We know the track very well, the snow is beautiful and technical. And we are off-road so that’s pretty good for us,” said the Norwegian. Alexander Aamodt fountain about the love story with Saslong. “The ski is good now, the speed is there. If it fits one hundred percent, you win. That is very good “. In the Super-G, the Norwegian was 12 hundredths of a second ahead of the Swiss Mauro caviezel through, third went with Kjetil Jansrud (+0.21 sec.) Another Norwegian. After his first World Cup victory in Val d’Isère, Caviezel was also extremely happy for second place, which he fought for despite a broken left index finger. The Swiss will keep the red jersey of the leader in the Super G World Cup. Matthias mayer in fourth place by 13 hundredths beyond the podium. The remaining Austrians missed the top ten. And Christian Walder, who was still third in Val d’Isère, came in 13th as the second best ÖSV athlete.
From the Ciaslat Wiesn onwards, Mayer showed a flawless journey all the way. “I made a mistake at the top that undoubtedly cost me the podium. It was a little too upright on the wall, ”the Afritzer explained. “The mistake is, of course, regrettable, but I attacked well and I am very satisfied with that.”
Vincent Kriechmayr similarly struggled with a mishap in the upper section. “There are too many mistakes right now, the rest was fine,” he said. Max Franz’s anger was also great, he too risked a lot after a previous mistake. “He jumped too far. The direction was not quite correct with the first wall,” he analyzed. Today he wants to do better and finish off the Norwegians. “Kilde – cheek,” he said with a smile.
The sick Danklmaier (knee), on the other hand, does not start on the descent. The ÖSV later announced that it would be taking a break and not be in Bormio after Christmas. The Styrian wants to return to Wengen. The start of Köck, who would actually have a fixed place in the 2019/20 European Cup, is highly uncertain.
