Wengen Downhill: Dominik Paris has no regrets, Mattia Casse does

Dominik Paris came close to the podium in Wengen

On yet another triumphant day for Italian women’s skiing, the men’s national team also came close to an important result, with Dominik Paris able to come within 69 hundredths of the winner of the downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, the host Marco Odermatt, actually touching the podium and enrolling fourth, behind the Swiss champion, his compatriot Franjo von Allmen and Slovenia’s Miha Hrobat.

On the sidelines of the race, Paris è however, said he was satisfied with his test: "Today very positive feelings – he said -. In general I think I took a good step forward compared to the’beginning of the season. Today I had the right feelings under my feet and now my confidence is growing. I have never been able to do soì well on the Kernen-S: really very positive".

"C’è been some mistakes, è true – then admitted the South Tyrolean, who this year has not yet hit a result among the top three in the World Cup -, but on such a long slope it can happen and growing in condition and confidence soon in my opinion I can limit them. The two races in Wengen allow me to get to Kitzbühel moreù serene".

Much less happy è instead Mattia Casse, out of the Top 10 and thirteenth at the finish line, at 1"73 from Odermatt: "I’m not happy, I’m angry – the winner of the Super-G in Val Gardena commented -: I did only a normal race, without skiing badly. I have to reset myself: the speed is there; I have to analyze well what didn’t è go. Every race è a story to sè, in Kitzbühel we will start again from scratch".
