biography

Paris, who comes from Ulten , learned to ski at the age of three and a half. In 2002 and 2004 he won the giant slalom at the Trofeo Topolino . After he was accepted into the South Tyrolean national team at the age of 15, he took part in FIS races from December 2004 and was Italian junior downhill champion in March 2005. At that time, however, friends and parties were more important to him than an everyday work-life. He dropped out of school at the age of 15 and spent the summer working as a bricklayer on construction sites to finance his hobby, skiing. He had his first European Cup appearances in February 2007, but the results left much to be desired.

In the meantime, Paris fell from the national squad due to insufficient performance. In order to stay away from distractions and to put his life in order, he spent the entire summer of 2007 as a shepherd on the Splügen Pass in Switzerland . After more than three months in seclusion, he found the motivation he needed to continue his sports career. In the following winter, his athletic performance was significantly better. In the third European Cup race after returning to the national squad, he won on February 12, 2008, at the Super-G in Sella Nevea . In the same month he took part in the Junior World Championships 2008 in Formigal and achieved his best result to date, fifth place in the giant slalom.

On December 19, 2008, Paris made his World Cup debut and finished 54th in the Super-G of Val Gardena . After finishing third twice in the European Cup runs, he was also able to celebrate great successes at the 2009 Junior World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . In the downhill and in the combination he won the silver medal, in the Super-G the bronze medal was added. In March 2009 he won his first Italian championship title at Passo San Pellegrino . On December 4, 2009, Paris scored the first World Cup points in its sixth World Cup race, the super combination of Beaver Creek , with 26th place. His best results in the 2009/10 World Cup season were three 14th places. At the 2010 Winter Olympics he achieved 13th place in the super combined, in which he drove the second fastest time in the downhill section.

After a cautious start to the 2010/11 season , Paris surprisingly finished second on January 29, 2011 in the downhill from Chamonix , equivalent to his first World Cup podium. The next day he achieved his second top 10 result with seventh place in the super combined. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , he finished 20th in the downhill and retired in the super combined. In the 2011/12 World Cup season, he achieved four top 10 results. On December 29, 2012, Paris won its first World Cup race when he and Hannes Reichelt won the downhill on the Pista Stelvio in Bormio . His second victory followed four weeks later, on January 26th, 2013 at the Streif in Kitzbühel , with which he finally established himself as one of the world's best speed specialists. At the 2013 World Championships in Schladming , he won the silver medal in the downhill behind Aksel Lund Svindal .

Paris won the first descent of the 2013/14 season in Lake Louise . During training for the downhill run in Val Gardena , he tore a muscle in his left lower leg on December 18, 2013 and had to take a break for a little more than a month, but contrary to initial fears he was able to take part in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . There, eleventh place in the downhill was his best result. In the 2014/15 World Cup season , Paris showed consistent performances. He was on the podium six times in total, with the victory in the Super-G in Kitzbühel being the highlight of the season. In the Super-G discipline he finished second and only had to admit defeat to Kjetil Jansrud . On the other hand, he did not get more than tenth place at the 2015 World Cup . Another five podium places were added in the 2015/16 World Cup season , including two downhill victories in Chamonix and Kvitfjell .

Paris also achieved five podium places in the 2016/17 World Cup . He won the downhill run on the Streif for the second time, plus another downhill win at the World Cup final in Aspen . As fourth in the combination at the 2017 World Championships in St. Moritz , he just missed a medal. There were two podium places in the 2017/18 World Cup season , including a downhill win in Bormio. He also missed a medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , this time finishing fourth in the downhill.

The 2018/19 World Cup season should be the most successful in Paris' career so far. After two podiums in the first six speed races, Paris was consistently at or near the top after Christmas. He achieved a double victory (downhill, Super-G) in Bormio and four weeks later his third downhill victory in Kitzbühel. At the 2019 World Cup in Åre , Paris won the gold medal in the Super-G. In the World Championship downhill he had bad luck with visibility and weather, but still finished 6th. After the World Championship he was able to continue his successful streak and won both speed disciplines in one weekend in Kvitfjell for the second time this season. With the downhill victory at the World Cup final in Soldeu , he achieved second place in the discipline classification, only 20 points behind Swiss Beat Feuz . With the victory in the final Super-G, Paris got a small crystal ball for the first time to win the discipline ranking in the Super-G. In the overall World Cup he also achieved his best result so far with 950 points and thus 4th place.

In the 2019/20 World Cup, Paris initially continued the high level of the pre-winter and fought another duel with Beat Feuz. His first two victories were on the Pista Stelvio in Bormio, both in the downhill. He was able to win four downhill runs in a row in Bormio and is a record winner here with six wins. In mid-January 2020 he narrowly missed the downhill win in Wengen again and again . While preparing for the Kitzbühel Hahnenkamm run, he tore a cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training run on January 21 and had to end the season early.

Private

His brother René, who was two years older than him, was killed in a motorcycle accident in Kuppelwies (Ulten municipality) in 2013. Dominik Paris and his partner Kristina have been the parents of a son since July 2018. Paris is the singer of the death metal band Rise of Voltage , who released their debut album Time in summer 2018 .
