It was not the strong Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde or the Swiss star Marco Odermatt who won the first downhill of the ski season, but the American Bryce Bennett. And that with a high starting number.

Aleksander Aamodt Kilde already counted himself rich on the Saslong piste in Italy. No one was affected by his sharp chrono.
Until Bryce Bennett descended in 34th. The tall American with the mustache used his BMX experience in the technical Ciaslat section of the track. The 2 meter tall skier then collapsed aerodynamically to outclass Kilde and Odermatt. Which he achieved with 3 and 5 hundredths respectively.
Bennett could hardly believe he had done it, Kilde watched in amazement. He was already telling reporters about his victory.
The Norwegian star should have known better. Until today, Bennett had won one World Cup race: the Val Gardena downhill in 2021.
