The Austrian, who suffered a pulled inner ligament in his right knee in a crash in the World Cup downhill in Wengen last Saturday, completed an initial test on the snow on Thursday and feels ready to at least take part in the warm-up for the super-G in Kitzbühel.
"He will then decide whether he feels fit enough," said ÖSV Alpine Director Herbert Mandl early on Thursday evening. Mandl spoke of a "quite surprising turn of events". The possible comeback is coming "absolutely faster than expected".
Kriechmayr is in 2nd place in the Super-G rankings after four of eight races behind Marco Odermatt.
