Aleksander Aamodt Kilde celebrated his victory with his team and Goldener Gams.
Kitzbühel – Aleksander Aamodt Kilde celebrated his first victory on the Streif. The Norwegian relegated the French Johan Clarey (+0.42 seconds) and Blaise Giezendanner (+ 0.63 seconds) to the next places in Friday’s downhill with his sixth win of the season. In the shortened race starting from above the Mausfalle, Matthias Mayer (+ 0.67 seconds) finished fourth as the best ÖSV runner in front of 1000 spectators. Giezendanner pushed the Carinthian with the high starting number 43 off the podium.

Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, Kitz winner
Kilde could afford not to have caught the line optimally in the newly laid passage on the local mountain, but by the fourth split he was already 1.24 seconds ahead of Mayer, who was leading at the time. In the end, the Scandinavian still had almost seven tenths of his credit. Last year he missed the Hahnenkamm race after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture shortly before. “I can’t believe I was so quick. It was so cool to drive. I’m so proud.” In the morning he saw a photo of himself a year ago with crutches, now he stands there as a winner.

Mayer’s starting number seven was “not ideal”, you just didn’t know what the weather would be like. “I had a great ride down from the Seidlalm,” he said anyway. He didn’t want to believe third place for a long time, which made the two-time Olympic champion right.
