Tomorrow’s program for the Downhill on the Saslong was confirmed in today’s Team Captains‘ Meeting. FIS TD Gorazd Bedrac was satisfied with today’s event and based on the weather forecast expects tomorrow’s race to be at just as good.
The biggest national news outlets understandably dedicated plenty of space to the event: Svenskene: - Inteialpintockså... Norge, Norge, Norge i toppwritesBulevardblattDagbladet, Tredobbeltnorski Val Gardena: – Det er total dominans Konkurrent VG.
The StuttgarterNachrichtenin Germany reported the dpa release in a dramatic title: „Norwegians shock ski competition with triple success“ (http://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.super-g-norwegischer-dreifacherfolg-in-groeden-svindal-siegt.02d25433-ebf2-4312-9cf3-3ebda37682c7.html), while Laola 1 reported with a friendlier: „Norwegian National Celebration in Val Gardena/Gröden“ (http://www.laola1.at/de/red/wintersport/ski-alpin/rennbericht/svindal-fuehrt-norwegischen-dreifachsieg-im-groeden-super-g-an--mayer-vierter/). Die Krone from Austria has to ungrudgingly admit that Val Gardena/Gröden is “clearly under Norwegian control” admitting that the Austrians “are showing a strong sign of life”(Triple Win for Norway; http://www.krone.at/Wintersport/Super-G_in_Groeden_Triple-Sieg_fuer_Norwegen-Mayer_Vierter-Story-487622). The Austrian public portal ORF.at, on the other hand says: „Austrian Empty-Handed“ (http://sport.orf.at/stories/2242980/2242984/).
