The 31 year old from South Tyrol was third in the decisive run of La Molina behind the two Austrians Alessandro Hämmerle, who won his fifth race in the World Cup, the first season, and Hanno Douschan, on his first podium. Perathoner fell in the final and the German Paul Berg finished on him but the blue was the fastest to get up and went to take his third podium, the second seasonal after that of Cerro Catedral in September. The French Olympic champion and World Cup leader Pierre Vaultier fell in the semi-finals, second in the final B behind the Spaniard Lucas Eguibar and then sixth overall. Lorenzo Sommariva and Michele Godino, eighteenth and nineteenth, out of the eighth and Omar Visintin in the ninth.
Gray day instead for the blue, especially because of Charlotte Bankes, the French has touched in the quarters with Michela Moioli and the Olympic champion has ended up losing precious points for the classification of the Cup and interrupting to eight, including Games, his series of consecutive podiums. The transalpine was then repeated in the final with Raffaella Brutto, but this time cutting the road clearly, the two fell and the first to get up was Bankes who ended up on the lowest step of the podium while Raffy had to settle for fourth place also because the competition jury has not taken any action.
The success, the ninth in the Cup and second seasonal, went to the Czech Eva Samková in front of the other French Nelly Moenne Loccoz. Sixth Sofia Belingheri, second in the final B behind the Bulgarian Alexandra Jekova and best result in her career. Fortunately, Michela, ranked fourteenth, has not lost many points compared to his immediate pursuer, the French Chloé Trespeuch, out also in the fourth and ninth place, now the advantage of the 22 year old Alzano Lombardo is 920 points on the transalpine, 1210 on Bankes and 1270 on Moenne Loccoz, the only ones that can still undermine it. The next round, the penultimate season, with the Snow Cross World Cup is next Saturday in Moscow.
