“Conditions are excellent, the run not yet too fast, but all that will change over the next few days. I attacked the first training run, but picked slow skis� says Peter Fill, who calls Kastelruth, a town only a few miles away from Gardena-Gröden his home.

As for the Finish jump, he adds: “The jump looked worse at the inspection than it turned out during the run. I didn’t know if I could make it over the second bump. But it all worked out. It looks as if the course team in Gardena-Gröden likes to place bumps after jumps.�
