Olympic giant, the 1st heat always says Hector. Brignone splendid, out Bassino and Shiffrin

The Swede, as a great favorite, leads with 30 cents on Troops and 42 on Fede, who has a margin on Hrovat, Mowinckel and Worley, with some big ones making mistakes, including Marta out at the third door. The second run from 7.30 am Italian, first there is the men's downhill.

A thrilling Olympic giant, with many surprises but a certainty ahead called Sara Hector. In celestial form, the World Cup leader takes the lead after a first heat managed by the Swede, which precedes the surprise of the day by 3 tenths (even if some heats of the season have already been of the highest level), that is Katharina Troops. In third, 42 cents from the leader, here is Federica Brignone who is in a truly ideal position, after having played one of her best seasonal tests in the specialty: the Aosta Valley, already bronze in PyeongChang, has a margin on her pursuers, if we think that Meta Hrovat is excellent fourth, but half a second away from Fede, with Ragnhild Mowinckel fifth at 1 ”02. And in the standings there are no reigning champion Mikaela Shiffrin, out on the steep starting point, and Marta Bassino who already slips to the third gate, leaving her great medal dreams in the Chinese artificial snow. A heart attack. In key second heat, which will start at 7.30 Italian (after the men's descent, scheduled at 5.00), it will be necessary to pay attention to the comeback attempts of O''Brien, who finds himself at levels close to those of the last World Cup and is sixth at 1 "25, but above all by Worley, who pays 1" 37, and Gut-Behrami 1 "51 away and who leads the Swiss trio with Gisin 9 ^ to 1" 63 and Holdener 10 ^ to 1 "65, while Camille Rast he is 12th at 1 ”73 just behind Gasienica-Daniel. Only 13th, ex aequo with Liensberger at 1 ”78, a Petra Vlhova who understands very little of the interpretation starting with bib 1, while Alice Robinson, one of the most anticipated outsiders, is completely wrong, even at almost 3 seconds. Elena Curtoni precedes her by a few cents, 2 ”94 from Hector and with the pass for the reversal of the thirty that should still be there. (updating)
