Milan-Cortina, Paris: ‘I’ve tried it many times, it’s perfect’

Cortina d’Ampezzo (Belluno), 7 February (LaPresse) – ‘The race isn’t over yet, but I hope to stay in third place, that would be perfect.’ These were the words of Dominik Paris to Rai Sport after finishing third in the men’s downhill at the Milan-Cortina Games, his first Olympic medal. ‘I’ve tried so many times, maybe this year I wasn’t always at the front or in great shape, but I was improving during the season. It’s wonderful to have managed to ski like that on such a difficult slope,’ added “Domme”. “Sharing the podium with Franzoni, the silver medallist? It’s wonderful. You can see he’s in great shape. He showed again today that he can hold his own even when the pressure is on, and that’s great to see. It means we have another youngster competing for the podium, so Italy is always in the mix.”
