True test in Yanqing and Goggia smiles more and more: 4th time behind Haehlen, Weidle and Mowinckel

Sofia goes up the level again, Nadia Delago is there (but with a jump of goal) and now the choices in Italy with Nicol Delago and Marsaglia in front of Curtoni and Brignone. Joana Haehlen, who pushes hard and signs the best time, will be in the Swiss quartet as well as Tippler in the Austrian one: on Tuesday a very open Olympic descent is expected.

The only two certain blue ones on the bib are in front, while for the third and fourth places to be assigned for the descent, the technicians will now have to make a difficult decision, given that yesterday it was announced that, given the uncertain weather, they would not be worth the times. training but the choice would have been only of a technical nature. Well, Nicol Delago closes in the twenty but at 1 ”62, just a cent better than Francesca Marsaglia who precedes, and here could be the crux of the story, Elena Curtoni (+1” 79) and Federica Brignone, 2 ”70 away.
