Today at the World Ski Championships in France the week of fast trials ends. The limelight for the men’s downhill, in which the first favorite is the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. Mikaela Shiffrin’s boyfriend was mocked by a hundredth of a second by the Canadian James Crawford in the super-G on Thursday 9 February: although he still won the silver and above all accepted the defeat with great fair play, he will want to make up for it and win the his first title between world championships and the Games (for now he has an Olympic silver and bronze and a silver at the World Championships; for juniors he had been gold, in giant, in the 2013 world championship).

Who can undermine him? The traditional duelist of Kilde the Swiss Marco Odermatt, World Cup holder and leader again this year in the white circus. The Swiss returning from the disappointment of fourth place in super-G: even if in 2016 he was the junior world champion of the specialty, the downhill is not his flagship specialty and he has not yet won in the World Cup; for him he has 8 podiums, precisely four second places last season, three seconds and a third in the current one. So Odermatt was absolutely dangerous, remembering that two years ago the podium just brushed him downhill: he was fourth, his best result in Cortina. Having completed a pairing of hoaxes – wooden medal in free in 2021, in super-G in 2023 – the Swiss champion will attack to make up for it. But between the two, having said that the patrol of outsiders opened again by Crawford together with the French super-veteran clareywho can enter and agree first of all with the reigning champion, the Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr: not in the dazzling form it had in the Italian World Cup, but its indisputable quality. And here we are in Italy. The quartet formed by Dominik Paris, Mattia Casse, Florian Schieder and Matteo Marsaglia. Christof Innerhofer excluded despite two excellent time trials. But the decision on the four Azzurri had already been made a few days ago in a meeting between the technicians and the athletes themselves: Inner would have had the super-G, Marsaglia the downhill. After the squad was made official, Christof didn’t hide his mood; for him he had to come to terms with it. Returning to the four, Paris has not yet been on the podium in the year and has just returned from a bad tumble in super-G: his wing shot is expected in extremis. Florian Schieder boasts the best seasonal placement of an Italian in free climbing (second in Kitzbuehel), while Casse was the most consistent: third in downhill in Val Gardena and in Wengen, third in Cortina in super-G plus other appearances in the top ten. Finally, Marsaglia runs like a pure underdog. But a World Cup also made up of surprise results.
