Rome, 12 Feb (LaPresse) – Swiss dominance in the men's combined at the World Championships in Saalbach, Austria. After the gold medal in the downhill, Franjio Von Allmen conquered the gold medal together with Loic Meillard, preceding his countrymen Monney-Nef by 27 hundredths and Rogentin-Rochat by 43 hundredths. Disappointment for the Italian medal pair Paris-Vinatzer. The downhill racer had placed third in the free run, putting the slalomist in a position to take a heavy podium place. Halfway down, however, the 25-year-old from Bolzano straddled, throwing away the chance of a podium place. Best of the Italians was the pair Schieder-Kastlunger, sixth ahead of the third Italian pair in the race, consisting of Casse and Gross.
