Blue arrivals in China, to be precise at the “Yanqing Olympic Village” which hosts alpine skiing athletes.
After the sprinters who, already on Thursday (4.00 Italian time), will face the first test of the Olympic downhill, here is the trio of girls who will then compete for the giant next Monday. Marta Bassino and Elena Curtoni, who left Malpensa yesterday, with Federica Brignone who traveled with her brother Davide, finally arrived in China in the Italian morning, local early afternoon.
Buffer, waiting and the first chance to "taste" the snow only tomorrow, certainly with a good delay compared to practically all the rivals in the first race of these Games, some more or less already in Yanqing for a few days having skipped the last World Cup appointment in Garmisch.
Landing in these hours, together with snowboard cross teammates, also for the blue flag bearer Michela Moioli, who in two days (at 13.00 Italian on Friday 4 February) will parade with the tricolor at the opening ceremony, and then concentrate 100% on his race scheduled for February 9th, followed by the team competition on 12th.
Still in Italy to work on all two of the blue tips for alpine skiing: Luca De Aliprandini, back on skis on Monday after more than three weeks in the pits for the injury to his left ankle in Adelboden, has already had two excellent days training in Folgaria, with excellent sensations ("not so bad after three weeks of sofa, TV series, chips and spritz", joked the vice world champion on social networks) before leaving for the Games. Eleven days to go until the five-ringed giant of February 13th ...
And then Sofia Goggia, who works hard in the gym and is now ready, just ten days after the crash of Cortina, for the decisive test on skis. Then we will fly to Beijing, if everything is ok.
