Ski: on the Streif without Paris, the first race in Jansrud

2020-01-22T16:22:13.345Z


Injured blue does not give up, 'I think next season' (ANSA)


The Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud in 1.56.68 imposed himself on the Streif in the first timed test in view of the CDM descent on Saturday on the 3,312 meters of the most dangerous, spectacular, famous and difficult track in the world. However, the duel with the very favorite Dominik Paris, who seriously injured himself yesterday, ended the season prematurely. The blue, however, does not give up, "life is made of ups and downs" he posted on social networks, "I will face this challenge and I already look towards the next season". The American Jardel Goldberg finished in 1.56.72 and the French Johan Clarey in 1.56.88 finished behind Jansrud in today's test. Further back in 1.59.06 the highly rated Swiss Beat Feuz, world cup leader and one of the favorites on the Streif. The Italians are not good: the best was Matteo Marsaglia with the 7th time in 1.57.49. Christof Innerhofer - who had not yet competed after last spring's surgery this season - ended in 1.58.07, then Peter Fill in 1.58.63, Mattia Casse in 1.58.86, Davide Cazzaniga in 1.59. 39 and Emanuele Buzzi in 1.59.84. Tomorrow the second and final race is scheduled and on Friday, with good weather forecast, there will be the super-G. The descent takes place on Saturday and the special slalom on Sunday. This year is the 80th edition of the historic races of the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbuehel and that is the races of the ridge of the cock in reference to the profile of the mountain from which the terrible Streif comes out, `` the strip '', which it descends dizzyingly cutting the mountain and its woods. The symbol of the Hahnenkamm is thus a stylized rooster while that of Kitzbuehel - the hill of the chamois cub - is, in fact, a chamois. The girls are instead in Bansko, Bulgaria, for three quick races with two descents and a super-G. It begins on Friday with the descent that recovers the one not played in Val d'Isere. Tomorrow there will be the only scheduled time trial. There are three races in which the blue jet girls led by Sofia Goggia will have more than ever - after Paris's injury - to keep the honor of the entire Italian ski high
