KITZBUHEL (AUSTRIA) (ITALPRESS) – Giovanni Franzoni better than Marco Odermatt in the descent of Kitzbuhel. The 24-year-old Brescian beats the leader of the overall standing on the famous Streif track and scores the second career win in the World Cup, the first downhill after that in SuperG at Wengen last week. 1’52′′′31 the time of the blue, which precedes only 0′′′07 Odermatt: “It’s a dream, I’m trembling with emotion. The result of yesterday’s superG (dwelveth, ndr) unburdened me with some pressure and I was particularly loaded. Before the road, maybe I did some drooling, but as in the test from there onwards I skied out of fear, in my opinion. In the beginning I had in mind Matteo Franzoso because last year we shared the same room. I knew that Odermatt wanted to do the race because he had never won here but when I got to the bottom with that advantage on Casse I told myself that I had done something great”, the words of the Lombard financier, who also enters the top ten in the overall rankings turning to the ninth place with 456 points and becomes the fourth blue to impose himself in the mythical Streif: before him only Dominik Paris (3 times in 2013, 2017 and 2019), Kristian Ghedina in 1998 and Peter Fill in 2016.
Complete the podium of the day the French Maxence Muzaton, which closes to 0′′′39 with the breastplate number 29. In fourth position is Florian Schieder, at 0′′′67 from the top and in front of a nothing to the transalpine Nils Allegre, fifth to 0′′68. Ennesima top ten in season for Dominik Paris, which ends seventh at 0′′′93 by Franzoni. At points also the other blue Mattia Casse, 11° to 1′′40, and Christof Innerhofer, 28° to 1′′90. Outside 30 Guglielmo Bosca (40° to 2′′′45) and Benjamin Jacques Alliod (41° to 2′′′48); Marco Abbruzzese closes 50° to 3′′47. Unsuccessful occasion by Franjo Von Allmen.
The Swiss is likely to lie on the steep throw away a potential podium ending 16° to 1′′56 by Franzoni. The second career triumph of the 25-year-old Lombard allows Italy to rise to 198 male achievements: the ranking is led by Alberto Tomba with 50 hits in front of Gustavo Thoeni and Dominik Paris with 24. The Alpine Ski World Cup remains in Kitzbuhel to close the Austrian races tris with tomorrow’s slalom, Sunday (before 10.30 hours, second at 13.30).
