“In the team, we push each other further. It’s a great feeling,” said Allegre, who won in his 102nd World Cup start. He imitated his compatriot Cyprien Sarrazin, a year younger, who is having the season of his life, in which he has already won three downhill races.

The sensational medalists in third place were completed by the Swiss Loic Meillard, who was 25 hundredths behind the winner. Marco Odermatt, the leader of the series and the discipline, had to settle for the fourth place, who was another three hundredths slower than his compatriot.

But he left all his closest competitors behind and consolidated his lead in the standings. In the discipline evaluation, he leads today’s fifth Vincent Kriechmayr from Austria by 71 points, in the overall standings he increased his lead over Sarrazin to 622 points. The Frenchman finished eleventh in Ga-Pa.

The only Czech representative at the start, Jan Zabystřan, took 53rd place. He lost 2.32 seconds to Allegre.

“It seems hard to say goodbye, but I am at peace with myself. There is life ‘after,’ and I want to be able to play sports with my kids and raise them actively,” Dressen said. “What could be more dignified than ending your career in Kitzbühel? I want to enjoy that again,” said the downhill rider who triumphed on the Hahnenkamm on January 20, 2018.

So far, Dressen has driven 79 races in the World Cup and celebrated five wins, adding a podium finish in five more starts. He last stood on the podium in February 2020 at the super-G in Saalbach. His career was marred by a heavy fall in November 2018 at Beaver Creek, which, among other things, tore ligaments in his right knee. Health problems also kept him down in the following years, since March 2020 he practically did not compete for a year and a half.

He entered the current season with optimism, but in the end he had to admit that a return to the elite was no longer possible. “You want to give everything and I really tried everything. It’s bitter when the body just doesn’t cooperate anymore,” he added through tears.
