We start tomorrow with the first of the two downhill runs scheduled in Kvitfjell, which has now become a classic of speed. At 11:30 the start of Race-1, as well as recovery of the cancellation of Beaver Creek. On Saturday the rerun at the same time, while on Sunday the triptych of races ends with a Super-G (11:00). The predictions? At the moment the favorites for the players of the Game of Podiums seem to be Kilde, Feuz and Mayer, but beware of Paris, who set the fastest time in the second round.
The girls will instead be on stage in Lenzerheide. On Saturday there will be the Super-G starting at 10:00. On Sunday we return to the Giant: first heat at 10:00, second at 13:30. In this case Federica Brignone is the most voted for the fast race, ahead of Gut-Behrami and Curtoni. For the Giant, the favorite seems to be Sara Hector, with a large margin over Shiffrin and Brignone herself.

THIRD PRIZE
Third prize for speed lovers. The ROSSIGNOL HERO TEMPLAR SL IMPACTS SKI HELMET and the ROSSIGNOL HERO BLACK SKI MASK 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. Whoever indicates the first three classified in the exact order will therefore get 15 points.
But beware of the Beijing Olympic competitions and the Courchevel finals, which will award triple points. In these races, each correct position will have the value of 15 (fifteen) points, while if an athlete who has reached the podium but in the wrong position is reported, 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 made 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.
