It’s an Austrian party in Kitzbuehel, as Matthias Mayer wins the Downhill of the 80th Hahnenkamm race, in front of teammate Vincent Kriechmayr (AUT) and Beat Feuz (SUI), both in joint second (+0.22s).

Emotions seemed to never end today on the Streif. When Beat Feuz and Vincent Kriechmayr looked like they were sitting comfortably in the leader corner and ready to take their first victory in Kitzbühel, there comes Matthias Mayer and ruins their party. The Austrian skied outstandingly from top to bottom and his fast final section enabled him to take a clear lead.

It’s the second victory for Matthias Mayer in Kitzbühel, but the first one in Downhill. The Austrian speed machine had won the Hahnenkamm Super G in 2017 and with his victory today, he scored the «double». Mayer joins Kjetil Jansrud (NOR)  and Dominik Paris (ITA) among the only three active skiers to have won both speed disciplines in Kitzbühel.
