Kitzbühel – The second race continues on the famous Streif.
For the third time in a row, two runs will take place on the famous route in Kitzbühel.
For spectators, this is certainly one of the highlights of the winter, but athletes and experts complain about the high level of stress.
Departure in Kitzbühel: Will Odermatt strike back in the second race?
The start of the first ski run on the legendary Streif in Kitzbühel had to be postponed on Friday.
Due to light snowfall and poor visibility, the race originally scheduled for 11:30 a.m. was postponed by an hour, as the world association Fis announced.
In the end, Cyprien Sarrazin took the win.
The Frenchman won by a narrow margin ahead of the Italian Florian Schieder, who was only 0.05 seconds slower.
Marco Odermatt from Switzerland (+0.34), who has already celebrated seven wins this season, had to be content with third place this time.
In the second race on the Streif, the Dominator will attack in order to be at the top for the eighth time this winter.

For Thomas Dreßen, the downhill race in Kitzbühel will be the last race of his career.
The DSV ace announced his resignation due to ongoing health problems.
The 30-year-old will complete the Hahnenkamm Race one very last time.

“It's a shame that it happened like this.
It was apparent somewhere.
I was in the room with him and saw how much he had to invest in order to get to driving,” said his teammate Romed Baumann about Dreßen’s early end to his career.
“Of course you wouldn’t wish it on anyone that it has to end like that physically,” said Andreas Sander, who came second in the 2021 World Championships in the downhill.
But Dreßen “certainly made the right decision”.
