Bormio: The last Downhill Ski World Cup of the 2020/21 calendar year was held in Bormio on Wednesday. It all turned into a true hundredth of a second of suspense. In the Austrian double win, won by Matthias Mayer ahead of Vincent Kriechmayr, Swiss Urs Kryenbühl finished third, just 0.06 seconds behind. Overall, the compact Swiss Ski Team was once again able to convince: three athletes in the top ten speak a clear language.
Kryenbühl described the journey on the Stelvio slope, which was generally rough and icy, as a very tough fight. However, he did relatively well, even if expectations and tension before the start were high. The 26-year-old also reported that during such a fast trip he also has an internal dialogue and gets motivated in the two-minute walk to the finish line. It’s a shame that a six-hundredth of a second breath is missing in a win, but nothing unusual in skiing either. Not surprisingly, the Swiss finds it difficult to understand where the crucial moment left off.
Mauro Caviezel, who won the small Super-G crystal ball last year and started the discipline test more successfully with victory at Val d’Isère, described his performance as a wild ride. However, he is satisfied with the fifth place. At this time of year, the 32-year-old with an earlier start number always has poor visibility. Therefore, you should always be active from top to bottom.
Beat Feuz, now in tenth place, knew at the end where he was wasting his time. Without suspicion, he admitted that he made a mistake in the upper third of the slope that cost him a possible jump to the podium. So he went too far into powder snow, and anyone who deviates from the ideal line with such a tight decision has lost. However, Kugelblitz wants to remain confident when the Wengen and Kitzbühel classics are on the program in January. You want to drive smoothly there and then the good results will come by themselves.
