Kitzbühel – Kitzbühel is upside down from Friday to Sunday. The 8000-inhabitant town in Tyrol hosts the legendary Hahnenkam races. The Super-G kicks off on Friday, chiemgau24.de is on site and will be part of the live ticker from 11:30 a.m. today.
Update live ticker here
12:56: That was a serious fall for Stian Saugestad from Norway. In front of the Seidlalm, the man with number 43 flies violently into the safety nets. But he seems to have gotten off lightly. Thank God the Norwegian is back.
12:54: Carlo Janka is on the road with start number 42 when he jumps too far to the left when jumping at the Seidlalm and jumps spectacularly past the next gate. That is the end for the Swiss, who had been on the road until then.
12:49: Daniel Danklmaier is now listening again. With number 37, the Austrian manages a very solid journey. In the end he can justifiably look forward to 12th place. Vincent Kriechmayr (Austria), currently sixth, now reports on ORF: “Of course, two mistakes on such a short Super-G are too much. (…) I have to work on that!”
12:37: Seasoned Peter Fill also has his problems and can no longer intervene in the battle for the front ranks. The South Tyrolean finished 18th with almost 1.6 seconds behind. The first 30 are now decided by Bostjan Kline. But he does not get past 20th place either. This should probably not shake Jansrud’s victory anymore. A total of 57 runners are registered for today’s race, but there shouldn’t be much fire left for the Norwegian …
12:33: In the end, Schwaiger is 1.99 seconds behind Jansrud and has to be content with the 24th place.
12:33: Schwaiger is already clearly losing time above – it was a driving error in the left turn after the Seidlalm.
12:30: Klement Kosi from Slovenia has also rushed through the finish line with a huge gap. Now Dominik Schwaiger is the next German. Can he tear something on the Streif today?
12:23: Is there anything else happening here on the podium? Given the start list, this is actually not to be expected. Neither James Crawford (USA) nor Nils Allegre from France can intervene at the front. Now comes number 23 Gilles Roulin from Switzerland, who also makes some serious mistakes and falls far behind.
12:15: Alexis Pintaurault with the number 20 drives a solid race. The Frenchman ended up in ninth place and collected valuable points for the overall World Cup. The leadership of Jansrud is not in danger.
12:12: Kjetil Jansrud, the last of the so-called top group, is now number 19. An amazing ride by the Norwegian, who takes the lead with a 16 hundredth lead. Except for one small mistake on the Oberhausberg, everything was fine on this trip. That could have been the victory …
12:09: Is the race decided now? Beat Feuz from Switzerland is at the top. The winner of the downhill from Wengen is up front, there is a lot going on! Now he is losing a little time, the line is not that clean. This is noticeable, the gap is widening, Feuz is sixth. A place in front of Sander.
12:06: Christof Innerhofer returns after a cruciate ligament tear and does it really well. Without racing practice, he even crossed the finish line and pushed the Germans out of the top ten.
12:04: Mh, that doesn’t look good upstairs. Too hesitant, 0.25 seconds back. The backlog gets bigger early on. The line does not find Dreßen at all, it is far back. Unfortunately, that was not a good run, Dreßen is tenth.
12:02: Now Steven Nyman comes from the USA, then Dreessen! Nyman takes one or two blunders, the time of Mayer and Kilde will remain. Let us now concentrate on Thomas Dreßen.
11:59: Aleksander Aamodt Kilde from Norway is also just ahead at the top. But that shouldn’t be taken as a guide here, in the middle part the race is decided. And there, too, Kilde goes a crazy run. Incredible, he finishes at the same time as Mayer. We have a double top!
11:57: The second German is at the top. Andreas Sander has a thick board to drill, Mayer’s time was terrific. He is up front, but Mayer had mistakes in it. No, Sander is not moving here, the gap is already very big after half. That is 83 hundredths, Sander is fifth.
11:55: Matthias Mayer is one of the top favorites. He makes some small mistakes right above, but the line fits. And this is noticeable, Mayer is on the best course. And how, the lead grows, Mayer finishes with the fastest time, the audience rages!
The stands are very well filled here in Kitzbühel.

11:51: Max Franz from Austria is the next starter. He does not start completely without complaints here, but he is still up there at the top. But he also loses a lot of time at the third interim check, he is 1.24 back at the finish.
11:49: Now it’s getting loud in Kitzbühel. Vincent Kriechmayr is on top. The local hero is one of the favorites here. At the top he is fully involved, at the same time as Caviezel. Now it is going steep, because he loses some time. He gets a little punch, he’s three tenths back. Caviezel stays in front, Casse is second.
11:47: Travis Ganong from the USA is back at the top, the backlog is growing continuously. No, there is a lack of speed and dynamism, Ganong is third. Ferstl is further at the end of the field. That is a disappointment for last year’s winner.
11:45: Mauro Caviezel from Switzerland is a secret favorite for victory. But Casse’s time was really good, it’s a difficult task. But Caviezel keeps up, in the middle part he is incredibly fast and actually gets the best time below. That is four measly hundredths. So it can go far ahead.
11:42: Mattia Casse from Italy really fires one up. The lead is big, it is seven tenths in front. Does the 29-year-old achieve this? Yes, he takes the lead by 67 hundredths, that’s an announcement!
11:40: Johan Clarey from France keeps the time of Odermatt in the upper section. He hits the local mountain edge excellently, takes the lead and saves 14 hundredths to the finish. We have a new leader!
11:38: Ryan Cochran-Siegle from the USA is the next starter. The 27-year-old comes in well at the top, but then deviates from the ideal line. It takes time. He is back 56 hundredths, so third. Odermatt stays ahead.
11:36: Now care! Young Marco Odermatt is on top. The Swiss celebrates his comeback here after an injury break of several weeks. The 22-year-old does not withdraw here, he drives it very clean except for two small strokes. There he is clearly ahead of Walder, 21 hundredths are there. Ferstl is already third now.
11:34: Walder also makes minor mistakes, but is much faster on the ski than Ferstl. The Austrian is 0.55 in front.
11:32: Ferstl is on target. It looked good upstairs, but then many small mistakes crept in. 1: 16.71 is the time in the finish. We now see what this who is. Christian Walder from Austria is at the top.
11:30: The Hahnenkamm weekend in Kitzbühel is open. Josef Ferstl is on the track.

Before the race: The spectacle starts here in Kitzbühel at 11:30 a.m. In the live ticker at chiemgau24.de we provide you with all important information about the race in advance.
Before the race: Hello and welcome to the live ticker at chiemgau24.de for the Hahnenkamm weekend 2020. Today the men’s Super-G is on the program.
Super-G in Kitzbühel: The preliminary report on the race
It was the greatest success in Josef Ferstl’s career. With number 1, the 31-year-old raced to victory at the Super-G in Kitzbühel last year. Ferstl was suddenly one of the big names in alpine skiing, his name will be in the history books forever.
Since its surprising success in the Hahnenkamm race, the shape curve in Upper Bavaria has been pointing downwards. In the current season, the speed specialist has nothing to do with the podium finishes, Ferstl only holds 35th place in the discipline ranking in his top discipline Super-G, he has eleven points on the credit side. He is only 83 in the overall World Cup.
Alpine skiing: Ferstl throws back injury early
Not enough for Ferstl, who wanted to be one of the best in the world this season. The season started very badly for the ambitious Ferstl, he injured his hand during giant slalom training in Sölden and from then on ran behind a training gap that he has not yet compensated for. The start list for the Super-G in Kitzbühel
In Kitzbühel, the place of his greatest triumph, the turning point should succeed. Ferstl travels with good memories and optimism. “The fact that I was able to win there last year gives me a lot of impetus and confidence to get the confidence I need for the next races. I love going to Kitzbühel and looking forward to the race weekend. My goal is from the first practice session away concentrated and focused on the road, “he said in the run-up to the World Cup.
Alpine skiing: Dreßen is one of the favorites
From a German perspective, hopes lie on Thomas Dreßen. The Mittenwalder returned to the World Cup this season, won the downhill from Lake Louise in the first race after his cruciate ligament rupture, and finished on the podium two more times during the 2019/20 season.
In Kitzbühel, the 26-year-old competes as a favorite in the Super-G on Friday and in the legendary downhill on Sunday. In addition to Dreessen, Beat Feuz is one of the most promising candidates for the victories in Super-G and downhill. Feuz won the downhill in Wengen last weekend and showed himself in impressive form at the Lauberhorn race.

This also applied to Dominik Paris, who was just beaten by Feuz in Wengen and finished second before the third placed Dreßen. On Tuesday, however, the 30-year-old South Tyrolean tore his cruciate ligament in training and had to end his season early.
This means that Dreßen, who won the downhill from Kitzbühel in 2018, and Feuz are the favorites, Ferstl is only an outsider. But he was that last year too.
