A double podium for men with Lorenzo Sommariva and Omar Visintin, a double fourth place for Michela Moioli and the World Cup to be played in the last race. This is the balance of the blue boards as regards the double appointment of Bakuriani, with the fourth and fifth seasonal races on the Georgian snows that brought Visintin back to success, more than a year after the seal of Big White. “It was a wonderful day, with a very tactical race - the words of the South Tyrolean to physi.org - It didn't make sense to start strong and get to the lead on the last diagonal. Thursday I made a mistake, joining me too early, today I was smarter and I took the wake of those who preceded me (the Swiss Kollet, in the end second) and it went another way. I am super happy, I knew I was in shape since September but I have never been able to prove it. Unfortunately a few mistakes and some unfavorable episodes had prevented me from hitting the mark so far, this time I succeeded ”. If the men's World Cup now seems to be in the hands of Alessandro Haemmerle, who has 62 points of margin over the Canadian Grondin while Sommariva, now fourth, will no longer be able to play with the Austrian as it happened a year ago, here is the final race of Veysonnaz (Saturday 20 March) will be a real thrilling for the crystal ball at a female level. Eva Samkova and Michela Moioli are paired in the lead with 350 points, 68 more than the American Faye Gulini; translated, whoever arrives in front in the last round of the season will toast, after the Olympian today recovered only 5 points on the Czech, out in the semifinal and then winner of the small final for the 5th place finish. “I can't complain about anything - the Italian captain clarified, however, - especially for how the day started with a crash in the pre-heats. I really gave everything in every single run I faced, from the quarter-finals to the big final, in which I presented myself determined and convinced. Unfortunately a contact with Bankes in the last corner threw me off the line, I lost all the speed I had accumulated and I couldn't do anything more. I arrive at the final round of Veysonnaz paired at the top of the standings with Samkova, I think it is the right conclusion for what we have seen this season, a great challenge that can certainly give strong emotions. May the best win ".
