The first descent of the season had a lot to offer. Urs Kryenbühl finished third, Martin Cater with start number 41 secured his first late World Cup victory.

Martin Cater and Otmar Striedinger are the Swiss spoilers. The 29-year-old Slovenian especially surprises everyone. With exit number 41, he displaces the Austrian Striedinger from the front. This had previously prevented Urs Kryenbühl from winning the first World Cup.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde finished fourth, 14 hundredths behind Striedinger. The Norwegian World Cup champion last winter caught Corona after the start of the season in Sölden and had to isolate himself in the meantime.
Hintermann on the move with the best time
With Niels Hintermann there could have been another surprise winner. The 25-year-old Zurich set a clear record and retired after a crash. He was not injured and was able to cross the finish line.

Beat Feuz had to settle for sixth place in what was only his second downhill race at Val d’Isère. The 33-year-old Bernese lost 31 hundredths to Striedinger. Dominik Paris made his way into the top 10 on his downhill comeback. The 31-year-old Italian, who tore his cruciate ligament nearly a year ago, was 10th, six-tenths behind.
Mauro Caviezel, winner of Saturday’s Super-G, finished 16th alongside Ralph Weber (+1.09). Carlo Janka ranked 18th (+1.10) behind the two teammates. Marco Odermatt was 28 (+1.64) and Stefan Rogentin was 34 (+1.83). (coverage)
No one would have expected that. Martin Cater celebrates his first World Cup victory. It’s one of the latest headlines and it scares everyone away. Incredible speed, incredibly good technology. The Slovenian surprises and wins!

Bad fall of Kandier, 23 years old. The young speed pilot appears to have been more seriously injured. The race is interrupted!
The penultimate Swiss made a good appearance from the start and, although he lost a bit at the end, he still made it into the top 15.
+0.87 (14.)
The Italian with a somewhat weaker aspect. He would have loved to be in the top 10!
+0.90 (16.)
That was nothing to the Italian. He falls and does not reach the goal.
DNF
Marco Odermatt cannot convince today. Only intermediate rank 23 for him. But for the 23-year-old, today was only the eighth downhill race.
+1.42 (23.)
What an appearance of the French. Nils Allegre is in the top 10 with a good time.
+0.47 (10.)
It is not close to the time of his compatriot Cochran-Siegle. Goldberg even shows a very weak streak.
+2.11 (26.)
The Norwegian remains below his possibilities today. Rank 12 for him. But after his injuries that will definitely be enough for him.
+0.84 (12.)
Andreas Sander probably wouldn’t have had anyone on the list today. But the German makes a mad dash. He even lines up in front of Mayer and is right behind Feuz. The four Swiss in the top 10 became two.
+0.35 (6.)
And the Austrians immediately send another driver after. Striedinger puts a very fast time on top. Striedinger attacks right at the top. That does not exist … Otmar Striedinger is on the podium and in front. Kryenbühl has to give up his leadership.
2: 04.89 (1.)
The Austrians have not yet been so convincing. Max Franz is also unable to take his country to the podium, but the middle range is strong. Push Carlo Janka out of the top 10.
+0.52 (8.)
Schwaiger is the next German to try. The pace is too slow, but the timing is anything but bad. You can take advantage of this performance.
+0.93 (12.)
Nicolas Raffort with a good career. Of course it is not close to the time of Johan Clarey, but the performance is compelling.
+1.23 (16.)
And the next of the great canton is yet to come. Josef Ferstl is much slower than his compatriot, who is actually Austrian. Ferstl falls short of the top 15 and ranks 17th.
+1.59 (17.)
Today’s first German. Probably also the fastest in the neighboring country due to the injury to the tuxedos. The timing also seems to be right, he is way ahead of Kryenbühl. But deep down he loses and comes out in sixth place. Strong Baumann run!
+0.33 (6.)
Yesterday’s race was a small success for Innerhofer. The eighth place made the Italian cheer. Today disappoints.
+2.53 (19.)
It is also a home race for him. Maxence Muzaton would always be good for a surprise. But today it was nothing. It is not a good career for the 30 years.
+2.40 (18.)
Today’s third American is considered a bad start. And it was the same today. But then it gets a lot down. But it is not enough for the top 10.
+0.97 (12.)
Janka can be satisfied with her performance. He is only one hundredth slower than Mauro Caviezel and is in ninth place.
+0.83 (9.)
