The downhill skiers were supposed to go to Lake Louise on Friday, but due to heavy snowfall and bad forecast, the race was canceled. For the renewed premiere in North America, because last season the World Cup was held only in Europe due to the pandemic, they had to wait until today.
The 31-year-old Mayer finished the triumph and scored 11th overall in the World Cup and seventh in the downhill. Kriechmayr was defeated by 23 hundredths, the owner of a small globe for the congress of the last four seasons Feuz was 35 hundredths behind.
“It was brutally challenging. Visibility was poor, but it was the same for everyone,” Mayer said. “Vinc and Beat had a great race, but I had a start and I knew it would be good. At the same time, I know that the distance was so small that I have to be very careful in other races,” he added.
“In terms of visibility, I may have had better conditions with starting number one, but I still didn’t see much,” Kriechmayr added. “Matthias won deservedly, he drove 100 percent all the time. I drove to 99 because I chose a safer track in two places,” he said.
The Ski World Cup will continue with a super-giant slalom in Lake Louis, Canada on Sunday. The men have another three speed races on the program next week in Beaver Creek, USA.
