Alpine skiing: Mayer hunts down series winner Kilde in Bormio

After the great disappointment at the original descent from Gröden (best Austrian in 12th place), ÖSV head coach Marko Pfeifer did not linger long with analyses, but looked to the future. “Our downhill skiers tend to be ice biters. That’s why Bormio will definitely suit us better.”

In fact, the pimply hard, steep and exhausting Stelvio piste is made for the Austrians, who can show off their skiing technique on this terrain. In the final training for the downhill on Wednesday (11.30 a.m., live ORF1), Matthias Mayer finished third. The triple Olympic champion won the downhill in Bormio two years ago.
