"Odi" loses trump card
Change in Wengen: “I’m a little shocked”
The speed stars will have to adjust to a small change in Wengen this year: The Kernen-S, a legendary right-left combination, has been toned down a little.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "The approach speed is not quite as high this year. Whereas last year the speed measured on the entry was 111 km/h, the entry speed in the last training sessions was 106 km/h," explains Austria's head speed coach Sepp Brunner in an interview with Blick. "The most important point, however, is that the racers have just under a meter more space in the Brüggli this year thanks to a detour."
Marco Odermatt also noticed the change immediately. "I was a little shocked when I saw on my first visit that you now have one meter more space at this point," says the Swiss rider. Last year, the host won both downhill races.
"We don't have to worry about Odermatt"
Is the defusing of the Kernen-S a disadvantage for Odermatt? "It may well be that Odermatt has lost this trump card. But he still has so many other trump cards that we don't have to worry too much about him," says Beat Feuz, the former speed hero of the Swiss.
