Alpine Skiing in Val Gardena/Gröden: Paris Nears Home Victory, German Skiers Struggle
Dominik Paris, the Italian ski racer, is in the driver's seat for a home victory in Val Gardena/Gröden's classic race. With half of the starters completed in the downhill on the infamous Saslong, Paris holds a commanding lead.
This potential victory would mark Paris' first World Cup triumph since his win in Kvitfjell, Norway, back in March 2022. Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde trails behind Paris, followed by American Bryce Bennett, who snagged the shortened downhill win in South Tyrol two days prior.
Despite an impressive start to the season, the German athletes struggled in Val Gardena/Gröden, failing to break into the top ten. Andreas Sander managed to secure a 17th-place finish, while Josef Ferstl, Thomas Dreßen, Romed Baumann, and Simon Jocher lagged even further behind, in 23rd, 24th, 26th, and 27th places respectively.

Enrichment Insights
Paris scored impressive results in Saalbach, Austria, during 2025's World Championships, ranking 1st in the Downhill. However, the sources do not specifically address his performance in Val Gardena/Gröden.
German skiers, too, had other achievements in their bag, like Katja Seizinger, who ranked 3rd in Super G and 3rd in Giant Slalom. But these results are not from the Val Gardena/Gröden event.
