Michela Moioli is immediately very fast: best time in qualifying, from 7.30 away to the second round

Olympic snowboard cross: the Bergamo-born wants an encore, the duel with Bankes has already begun. Also Carpano ahead (with a great 11th time trial), Gallina and Belingheri will be in the same eighth final.

Michela Moioli is there, but we had very few doubts about this. The reigning Olympic champion, however, also provides a great show of strength in the qualification of a five-circle snowboard cross that will be decided starting at 7.30 with the knockout board. The Italian champion signs the best time, with more than half a second margin on Charlotte Bankes, in a first phase, however, certainly not selective since at the Olympic Games the cut is at 32 instead of just 16 athletes, so you can comfortably control the situation . Odine, Gaskill and Jacobellis are placed from 3rd to 5th place, two expected protagonists such as Gulini and Trespeuch with the 7th and 8th time trial, Brockhoff even with the 18th. Thus, in the match of the round of 16, Moioli will begin by challenging Tierney, Casanova and Nakamura, while the fourth will not be easy with Trespeuch and Zerkhold almost certainly on the way to Bergamo. Caterina Carpano, who achieved a great 11th time, will see her in the first round with the silver in charge, the French Pereira de Sousa, and with Francesca Galina who finished 22nd, while Sofia Belingheri (29th in qualifying ) will cross the table with Gaskill and McManiman in particular.
