There was a bitter disappointment for Austria's speed men at the Super-G in Val Gardena/Gröden on Friday: Vincent Kriechmayr (+1.09 seconds) finished in twelfth place as the best ÖSV skier in Italian Mattia Casse's home victory. There are concerns about Daniel Danklmaier, who had a wild take-off.

Jared Goldberg finished second behind Mattias Casse. The US boy missed the best time by just one hundredth of a second. Third place went to the Swiss Marco Odermatt (+0.43).

The ÖSV skiers missed out on the top 10. "A gnackwatschn", according to ORF expert Armin Assinger's tough analysis.

Here are the final results:

Kriechmayr disappointed
"But I went too straight a few times, so the pace might not have been there. But the others did it too, I just didn't get it right," Vincent Kriechmayr complained in the ORF interview.

Danklmaier crashes
Daniel Danklmaier caused a moment of shock: the 31-year-old lost control and caught a gate - resulting in a heavy fall. Danklmaier remained lying in the snow and the race was interrupted.

A short time later, the ÖSV skier was at least able to ski down the piste himself. But his right knee is causing him great concern. There is still no more precise information on his state of health.
