At 19.00 the last stage of the World Cup before the Olympics is decided: the Bergamo-born is second behind the British rival, among the men six Azzurri qualify for the second round with an excellent return for Omar Visintin.

The wonderful scenery of the Socrepes Ski Area, under the spotlight, for a historic appointment of the CdM of snowboard cross in Cortina d''Ampezzo. The last race before the Beijing Games opened with a qualifying phase that did not give any particular surprises, starting yet another duel between Michela Moioli and Charlotte Bankes; the Olympic champion signs the second half, the British cup leader the best (with Lindsey Jacobellis third) and will be the natural favorite, in the final phase starting with the quarterfinals from 19.00 (live on Eurosport Player). Italy will also have Sofia Belingheri, 13th in qualifying, while Francesca Gallina (20th) and Caterina Carpano (21st) will be out. 6 blues who have obtained the pass for the men's test: in front of all there is one of the most anticipated men, the Canadian Eliot Grondin, with Lorenzo Sommariva 9th, Tommaso Leoni 14th, Omar Visintin 15th at the post return injury and competitive in an Olympic key, Filippo Ferrari 21st, Michele Godino 26th and Matteo Menconi 28th. Not only the very young Niccolò Colturi and Luca Abbati passed the cut.
