Cyprien Sarrazin (29) makes an impressive return to the ball duel with Marco Odermatt (26) – the French “Skidane” surprises with the second best time during the World Cup finals in Saalbach four and a half weeks after his training in Kvitfjell. Only Stefan Rogentin (29) from Graubünden is faster than the winner of the two Hahnenkamm descents.

Marco Odermatt, in thirteenth place, lost 2.12 seconds from the best time and almost 1.5 seconds from Sarrazin. Of course: the man from Nidwalden still has some reserves for Sunday’s race. But if Sarrazin were to win the race, Odermatt would have to finish at least third – otherwise the little downhill ball would end up in the showcase of his 29-year-old opponent.

And because the calf injury he sustained in Norway has healed so well, Sarrazin is actually one of the top contenders for victory in Saalbach. “I can really speak of a good new start. I did feel a pulling sensation in my calf when I did the mandatory stretching exercises before the start. But I didn’t feel any pain during the trip.”

Easy slopes can be a big problem for Odermatt

Then Sarrazin revealed a very special insight: “When I analyzed it with my coaches, I came to the conclusion that after the Super-G success in Wengen and the triumphant weekend in Kitzbühel, my tension had subsided somewhat. And that’s probably exactly why I fell in Kvitfjell. This must not happen to me again in the future. And this example shows that you can learn much more from setbacks than from successes.” Sarrazin notes that at times he no longer believed that he would be able to participate in a race this winter: “But the moment I told myself that the comeback probably wouldn’t work this year, all the pressure disappeared. me. And that probably accelerated the healing.”

In addition to the reviving Sarrazin, Marco Odermatt has the problem that this descent contains hardly any really demanding passages in which he could distinguish himself from the competition with his excellent technique. “It’s definitely one of the easiest runs on the World Cup calendar. The steepest part is the beginning, after that it is more or less flat.” Fortunately for Odermatt, the Downhill World Championships in Saalbach will not be held on this track designed for women next winter, but on a much more selective course.
