Already winner the day before on the legendary Streif, Cyprien Sarrazin achieved the double during the second descent from Kitzbühel. The Frenchman relegated the Nidwalden Marco Odermatt to 0″91 during this new episode of their exciting duel this winter in the speed disciplines. The Friborg Alexis Monney took a good 7th place.
Sarrazin is really skiing on cloud nine at the moment. Two chamois in two days is as good as Beat Feuz in 2021. The Habs sign their fifth World Cup success. In perfect conditions, Sarrazin was the master of the Steilhang, this important slope. Carving this curve like a king, Sarrazin came out with crazy speed. The 4 km/h lost there by Marco Odermatt were crippling.
Sarrazin is on another planet. Even with a perfect round, I mightn’t have beaten him.

Starting with bib 7, the Nidwalden crossed the line 1″31 ahead of Ryan Cochran-Siegle. In the finish area, the World Cup boss was exultant. Before becoming disillusioned as Sarrazin is soaring right in its wake.”I’m not very happy, because today I was ready for a victory“, explained the skier from Buochs to the RTS microphone. “I knew I had made a mistake at the top. But followingward, Sarrazin was too good. He’s on another planet. Even with a perfect round, I mightn’t have beaten him.“
The other Swiss were good. Notably the Friborg Alexis Monney who achieved a magnificent 7th place just six hundredths from 4th place, the best result of his young career. Good performance also for Stefan Rogentin, 9th. Disappointment on the other hand for Justin Murisier who ranks 16th. Franjo von Allmen missed out on something big. In the running for the podium at the Hausbergkante, the Bernese was unable to hold his ski at the entrance to the Traverse and missed the gate.
