In the women's field (start of the race at 10:00 on Saturday 23 and predictions open until 08:00) we start from many certainties: first of all from our Marta Bassino, last winner on the Rettenbach. Two days after the opening of the gate, the blue is the second most voted by the players of the game of podiums, behind Queen Mikaela Shiffrin. Third is Petra Vlhova, but the prediction is far from closed to these three names. Attention in fact to the reigning world champion Lara Gut-Behrami and to the young New Zealander Alice Robinson, who triumphed in Soelden in 2019. Among the young women, Meta Hrovat is also a candidate for a leading role, while among the veterans, watch out for Brignone and Worley .
Among the men (start of the race at 10:00 on Sunday 24 and predictions open until 08:00) the favorite of our readers is Alexis Pinturault, who clearly dominates against Luca De Aliprandini, silver in Cortina 2021 and at rival Henrik Kristoffersen. The Norwegian, called to ransom after a dull season, leads a very fierce Scandinavian patrol. In fact, the young Braathen and McGrath and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde are back. The Swiss Odermatt, a possible protagonist in Austria and one of the favorites for the general, is late for the moment. In the French home, Mathieu Faivre will also have his say, while Brennsteiner leads the Austrian patrol. Italians? In addition to the world runner-up there is a lot of curiosity for Alex Vinatzer, on his debut in the World Cup between the wide posts.

THIRD PRIZE
Third prize for speed lovers. The ROSSIGNOL HERO TEMPLAR SL IMPACTS SKI HELMET and the ROSSIGNOL HERO BLACK SKI GOGGLE will in fact be awarded to the “king of downhill”, that is to say the participant who has obtained the most points in the downhill races during the season.
REGULATION
The formula of the Game of podiums is the one by now consolidated for NeveItalia fans: it is necessary to guess in exact order the podium of the World Cup races, for men and women. For each "centered" position 5 (five) points are awarded, while 2 (two) are awarded if the athlete on the podium is guessed, but with a different placement from that indicated. Who will indicate the first three classified in the exact order will then get 15 points.
But beware of the Beijing Olympic competitions and the Courchevel finals, which will award triple points. In these races, each guessed position will have the value of 15 (fifteen) points, while if you report an athlete who got on the podium, but in the wrong position, 6 (six) points will be won. Total achievable in these races, therefore, of 45 points.
For each event it will be possible to make predictions up to about two hours before the start of the race. In any case, according to the conditions of the competition, the editorial staff will have the possibility to set a different closing time for the bets. In the hypothesis, in which the competition takes place over several days, the start of the competition on the first day will prevail. If the race is not played or is played irregularly or any type of technical or organizational problem occurs, the editorial staff may decide not to assign any points per event and the insertion of predictions by users will not produce any results on the scoring. If a race is postponed to the following days and this decision is taken after the closing of the phase in which it was allowed to send the prediction for the game of podiums, the editorial staff will have the right to reopen the prediction and users will be able to update the prediction sent, up to about two hours from the start of the new race date.
