Finding time was not so easy as the race went on, with no one else coming within half a second of von Allmen.
His teammate Rogentin, battered and bruised after a Downhill training crash on Tuesday, got up off the canvas to ski courageously and record his third career World Cup podium.
Despite his own hesitations leaving the start gate, he started brilliantly with bib No.11 to record the fastest first split of the field, nearly two-tenths of a second ahead of von Allmen.
Though he gave up some time coming out of the Kernan-S, Rogentin was still well in touch until a couple of difficult moments on the technical section put von Allmen and Kriechmayr out of reach.
-The 30-year-old powered through the pain barrier, though, to finish in third, 0.04 seconds ahead of fourth-placed James Crawford (CAN/Head), the first skier out of the gate on Friday.
