On the mythic piste of the Face of Bellevarde, the first men's race of these World Championships seen the victory in super G by Didier Cuche. The Swiss so nice, 34 years old, with the huge winners had never been world champion ! It need on this icy track a physique out of the ordinary and a generous heart to succeed here. There were 20 retirements of 70 racers ! Didier Cuche has made the perfect race relaigant the Italian Peter Fill to 99 hundredth while there are usually 20 racers in the same second in World Cup ... impressive, respect Mr Cuche. The third step of the podium, the Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal finished in 1 second and 2 hundredth, so 3 hundredth of Peter Fill !
The French have no demerits with Gauthier De Tessieres who ranks 11th between Klaus Kroell (Austria) and Bode Miller (USA). At the end of the couse, he said that the noisy encouragement of volunteers at his departure, in this case the race's smoother who are the ski instructors of the ski schools of Val d'Isere, gave him wings, not wanting to disappoint the French public, many to share this unique and really friendly atmosphere. Adrien Theaux ranks 21, Pierre-Emmanuel Dalcin is 22nd, David Poisson, the Regional of Peisey-Nancroix finished for him 36th.
Nearly 15 seconds separates the first of the last of the daily race, but what a beautiful image we will keep skiers from countries that we seen only rarely at this level of competition.
At the same time, gone unnoticed, was the first training session of the Women Downhill.
Tomorrow the training of the Men Downhill on the face of Belevarde and the second training on the Women Downhill on the piste Rhône Alpes in Solaise.
