24 - Matteo Marsaglia:
The Roman loses valuable time right from the start.
Then it drives him far and he has to take strong countermeasures - well over two seconds behind.
23 - Felix Monsen:
The Swede has to fight a lot.
The lone fighter reached 17th place.
22 - Bostjan Kline:
The Slovenian is out of shape at all.
In the end, there is still enough space for 15th place.
12 noon:
Andreas Sander is close to his greatest success, the Westphalian is currently in second place.
“I noticed straight away that the descent suits me.
I had a sensational feeling at the start.
Now it's time to wait and hope, ”said the 31-year-old on ARD.
21 - Henrik Roea:
The Norwegian takes the curve
too cautiously
before the vertigine jump.
On his World Cup debut, it was enough for tenth place.
20 - Matthieu Baillet:
The icy slope is very difficult to control.
The outside ski is almost slipping away from the French from Nice.
At the finish they are well over two seconds behind - 18th place.
19 - Otmar Striedinger:
The Austrian is very fast.
In the Vertigine, he has to make major corrections and is suddenly well over a second behind - 16th place.
18 - Marco Odermatt:
The Swiss won five gold medals at the 2018 Junior World Championships.
What's in the men?
He comes through the corners fantastic.
Then he almost missed a goal.
But it is enough for fourth place - at the same time as Paris.
17 - Kjetil Jansrud:
The defending champion could still be dangerous for Andreas Sander in second place.
The Norwegian drives very directly and is good at it.
Then he has to really fight to get around the corner and he's over a second behind - seventh place.
16 - Jared Goldberg:
The American makes a great start.
But he has problems going into corners at high speed and he's already over two seconds behind.
At the finish it is just under two seconds.
15 - Christof Innerhofer:
The Italian won bronze in the downhill in 2011.
Innerhofer drives a very cheeky line, but it is almost a second behind.
The flat piece does not suit him, but it is still enough for fifth place.
14 - Travis Ganong:
The American is risking too much.
The right mix is missing.
At the finish it is well over a second behind.
11.35 a.m.:
Baumann stands again, the supervisors applaud.
But the native Austrian is bleeding from his face, hopefully nothing worse.
13 - Romed Baumann:
The silver medalist in the Super-G also wants to tear something in the downhill.
Uh, shortly after take-off he missed a wave, but that went well again.
Baumann really accelerates, then he over-revs before the vertigine jump.
Everything is still there.
Then there are too many mistakes and already over a second behind.
At the finish he loses his balance and falls under the barrier.
Hopefully everything went well there.
12 - Nils Allegre:
The Frenchman drives sensationally before the vertigine jump.
Allegre can't quite keep up with the pace and is almost a second behind.
11 - Carlo Janka:
The Swiss man makes too many small mistakes and is a little more than a second behind.
10 - Max Franz:
Can the Austrian put his compatriot Kriechmayr under pressure at the top?
It is now getting more and more icy on the slopes, Franz also chooses a wide line.
The lack of risk manifests itself in 1.25 seconds behind.
9 - Johan Clarey:
The 40-year-old Frenchman wants to know now.
With all his experience, he masters the difficult corners.
But Clarey lacks the pace - 1.50 seconds behind.
8 - Maxence Muzaton:
The Frenchman is crazy, but can still save himself.
Suddenly he reverses and can barely prevent a fall.
Muzaton is holding his knee, hopefully he hasn't hurt himself.
7 - Beat Feuz:
The leader in the overall World Cup attacks.
The Swiss chooses a clever line and gets more out of the corners.
Nevertheless, he is behind, but then Feuz catches up again.
Third place, just 0.18 behind.
6 - Thomas Dreßen:
The best German downhill skier drives his first race this winter today.
Dreßen is fully on the attack.
Can he overcome himself after his hip operation?
Then he is far too late, but can barely save himself.
It's a shame, because he lost a lot of speed.
In the end it is 1.68 seconds behind.
But the most important thing: Dreßen is back!
5 - Matthias Mayer:
The Austrian has some problems and then it drives him too far.
He has no chance of getting the goal.
4 - Bryce Bennett:
The American is not in top form and cannot quite keep up - more than a second behind.
3 - Dominik Paris:
One of the favorites wants to win a medal in the home game.
Paris is very fast, but he has to correct a lot before the Vertigine.
Then he scolds himself and is over a second behind.
In the end he still catches up - 0.65 seconds behind.
2 - Andreas Sander:
The first DSV ace.
The Allgäuer drives aggressively and puts down a top speed.
After the first intermediate times, he is up with Kriechmayr.
Then he stands sideways for a moment, but the speed is right.
He chases the Austrian towards the goal.
No, a hundredth is missing at the end.
Incredible!
1 - Vincent Kriechmayr:
The world champion in Super-G opens the downhill.
The Austrian can make the vertigine jump well, he can do the sliding sections.
That is an announcement.
Update from February 14, 10:57 a.m.:
All favorites have decided on low start numbers.
With Andreas Sander in second and Thomas Dreßen in sixth, two DSV stars start right at the start.
That could be an advantage in the battle for the medals.
Silver medal winner in Super-G Romed Baumann could bring good luck with the star number 13.
Update from February 14th, 10:50 am:
Thomas Dreßen is driving his first race this winter after a hip operation.
He was eleventh in the first training session, after finishing 16th in the second, he said: “That was a step in the right direction.” 1.1 seconds behind Dominik Paris, he added, “is impressive.” Above, at the journey to the huge vertigine jump, he had “a nice blunder in it, which I know that tomorrow”, that is on Sunday, “won't happen to me again.” And just to make it clear: “I'm ready all cases. ”And it is just as clear: Dreßen is someone who can make progress in the race - usually huge.

“I hope,” said the 31-year-old Westphalian, “I can do it just as quickly tomorrow.” It starts in half an hour.

News from February 13th:
Cortina d'Ampezzo - On Sunday, the German ski racers will start their descent from 11.00 a.m.
Romed Baumann, who sensationally won the silver medal in the Super-G on Thursday, could play a special role.
Thomas Dreßen will also make his long-awaited comeback after promising training performances.

The race on Sunday is the absolute highlight for the speed drivers at the World Championship in Italy.
The DSV team will have at least two, maybe even three contenders for the podium.
Baumann and Dreßen have already inspected the route, and the two drivers got the necessary shape for the descent during training on Friday.
A successful comeback would mean a lot for Dreßen, after his hip surgery it would be his first race this winter.
Just like Baumann and Andreas Sander, Dreßen made a good impression during training.
The five-time World Cup winner was also able to line up at the front.
“It was a fight for me down there.
But I have to say that I am very satisfied with the ride, ”reported the 27-year-old on Friday.
However, his hips do not cause him "any problems at all" at the World Cup, as he assured him during the week.

A positive side effect of Baumann's silver medal is that the pressure on the German team could be reduced somewhat.
"The German expectations are not such that you are satisfied with fifth place, I've been through it long enough," said a relieved alpine boss Wolfgang Maier to the dpa.
You go home "with a little sensation" regardless of the other World Cup results.
“Everyone treats the other to something.
Something good happens out of joy, ”said Baumann of the team structure among the Germans, who are among the favorites after their strong start.
In any case, he himself is rated even more strongly in the downhill than in the Super-G.
Simon Jocher and Dominik Schwaiger complete the German speed team in the Dolomites.
