Kriechmayr was left shaking his head and laughing, as he was bumped, like yesterday, further down the podium by a dominant Paris. Remarkably, the Italian had also completed a downhill\u2013Super-G double on the same slope just two weeks earlier. Clearly the Olympiabakken course suits the South Tyrolian ski racer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <\/strong><a
