A Saturday all with the blue boards, with the fight for the World Cup that will be decided in a few minutes, right at the last race. It is Michela Moioli and Aaron March, between snowboard cross and parallel specialties, to play for the crystal balls between Veysonnaz and Berchtesgaden.
The Bergamo-born is hunting for the fourth “coppone”, after those of 2016, 2018 and 2020, when she closed the games arithmetically on the Swiss track, also winning the final race. This time, it will be a real thrilling given that Moioli is on equal points, at 350, with Eva Samkova, the only one to win two cups in the era of Michela, or in 2017 and 2019. Who will arrive in front , in fact, he will take the trophy home: "These are the challenges I like, I feel good and I am serene - said Michela in the interview with the FISI press office - They made some changes to the track, which I know a lot good. I will try to give my best, but also to have fun; it's a challenge and I really like them ... ".
Appointment for her from 2.15 pm, as well as for the men's race that could lead to the Austrian Alessandro Haemmerle the third consecutive World Cup, while Lorenzo Sommariva (4th overall) and Omar Visintin, 5th and fresh from Bakuriani's victory , will try to get on the final podium with the Canadian Grondin and the Dutch De Blois in front of the Azzurri in the standings.
Appointment in Berchtesgaden instead for the parallel slalom that will decide the World Cup with regard to the alpine snowboard specialties (on Sunday there will be a team trial which is irrelevant). Aaron March is the Italian card to look for a sensational encore after the triumph of Roland Fischnaller last season; the 34-year-old South Tyrolean leads the general with only 2 points over Dmitry Loginov (who precedes him by 22 points in the PSL cup) and 13 over Zan Kosir, but there are many close rivals, while Coratti and Fischnaller himself, already winner of the PGS, they could at least attack the final podium.
Appointment at 13.30 (also in this case, live on Eurosport TV), with March's dream that, at 34, could become reality.
