Dominik Paris wins in Kvitfjell: A returnee beats the best!

Kvitfjell, Norwegen - The voltage increases in Kvitfjell! In spring-like conditions, Dominik Paris won the first men's descent as part of the Ski World Cup. The 35-year-old Italian celebrated his 23rd World Cup victory and prevailed against strong competition. Paris, happy about his return to success, said: "I'm super happy that it finally worked and that I will ski quickly". He achieved a narrow lead of 32 hundredths of a second on the Swiss Marco Odermatt, who has the overall World Cup almost safely in his pocket with his second place, such as Sn.at reported.

results and athletes

The conditions in Kvitfjell were anything but usual: high temperatures and a slope treated with salt provided challenges. Despite these circumstances, Stefan Babinsky, as the best ÖSV athlete with a ninth place (+1.11 seconds), showed a strong performance. He was able to successfully implement the points from the training, while Vincent Kriechmayr with 12th place and Stefan Eichberger unfortunately missed the top ten with 14th place. Only Lukas Feurstein came up with a disappointing 51st place in his World Cup debut. krone.at emphasizes that Daniel Hemetsberger could not start due to acute back pain and flew back to Austria.

The competition continues! The second descent is coming up for Saturday, followed by a Super-G on Sunday, both at the beginning at 10.30 a.m. The spectators can be excited to see whether the ÖSV runners can improve their equal opportunities and strike back. Paris is convinced: "You are already beaten. You just have to ski a little faster, then it fits."
