A 4-man battle as predicted on the eve? Probable, even if there is a clear favorite and responds to the name of Mikaela Shiffrin, who is looking for the first medal here in Beijing 2022 and wants the gold of the combined, 4 years after the silver of PyeongChang.
Fifth in descent, 56 cents from Christine Scheyer who will then open the decisive slalom at the start at 7.00 Italian time, the American champion will also have to take advantage of the track designed by Mike Day, who curiously traced the 1st heat of the race between the narrow poles of the last week when Mikaela came out after 4 doors. Shiffrin who is in front of Marusa Ferk Saioni, potential podium outsider, and above all with 13 cents on Federica Brignone, who can play for the medal by having 3 tenths to defend on Wendy Holdener and Michelle Gisin.
On paper, the two Swiss already on the podium (first and third) in PyeongChang, should recover that gap but, as you know, anything can really happen in a combined heat.
Second round of the women's combined in Beijing 2022 that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, starting at 7.00 with the FIS live timing service.

Outside Elena Curtoni in the middle of the descent, Nicol Delago and Marta Bassino finished in 9th place (+ 0 ”70) and 13th place (+ 1” 03) respectively. For both of them it will be very tough in terms of medals, but a good placement can come.
