Brignone chooses n ° 9 for the assault on Olympic gold: the super-g startlist, Shiffrin is there (with 11)

Friday, starting at 4.00 Italian time, the most awaited race for blue women's skiing: Gut-Behrami, with 7, will start before Fede, while Curtoni goes with 13, Marsaglia and Bassino finally with 18 and 19. A lot of Austria at the start, watch out for Suter, Ledecka (reigning champion) and Mowinckel ...

The third women's game of the program of these Olympic Games is the one in which the blue bet the biggest chips, even if Federica Brignone's silver already has a very important value. Just the Aosta Valley, despite what she has shown in this discipline with three seasonal victories, is the main favorite of this appointment together with Lara Gut-Behrami, who disappointed in the latest CdM outings, but in Yanqing she found herself with a great bronze medal at the first race. The Ticino will start with the number 7, Federica with the 9 in a race that promises to be very open and with many athletes dangerous for the "big ones". Like Ariane Raedler, third in Zauchensee (before proving positive at Covid), who will open the super challenge on the “Rock” with the number 1, somewhat less unfavorable given that the Austrian coach Florian Scheiber will trace. The start tomorrow at 4.00 Italian time (live on Rai 2, Eurosport 1 / Eurosport Player), with the Olympic champion Ester Ledecka who will start second, after having won the title in parallel snowboarding again. And also pay attention to Mirjam Puchner with 3 and then to Gisin and Tippler, before Worley (6) who decided to compete despite the blow suffered in the giant and on a slope that does not seem ideal for the transalpine. Between Gut-Behrami and Brignone, a red circle for Cornelia Huetter, who won ex aequo with the blue in the last cup match in Garmisch. After Gauche and the break, bib n ° 11 for Mikaela Shiffrin who wants redemption after the giant and slalom disaster, in a test that for her can also be preparatory for the combined. Elena Curtoni has chosen number 13 (second after Brignone), it is the other great blue medal card returning from the best season of her career. Corinne Suter, with the number 15, can be a loose cannon on a par with Alice Robinson (16), albeit with completely different characteristics, but above all we think of Ragnhild Mowinckel (n ° 17) as a woman capable of signing the coup as an outsider. Francesca Marsaglia and Marta Bassino will start with 18 and 19, before Jasmine Flury who is another athlete not to be underestimated, after the twenty instead there do not seem to be great dangers for the big names, even if Kira Weidle (26) could, on a fast track, do something good. Forty-four members, without Sofia Goggia, as known, and Petra Vlhova who has not changed her mind and could and should only compete in the combined to look for another medal after the gold in slalom.
