It starts after months of work and a week-long wait compared to male colleagues.
The season of women's speed also starts from Lake Louise, with the two descents scheduled for Friday and Saturday night (always at 8.30 pm Italian time) on the Men''s Olympic, followed by the super-g on Sunday.
And there are so many blue dreams that have already passed since the races in Alberta: Sofia Goggia has a strong point on what would be her second World Cup downhill, after 2018, and will start with race number 11 in a race 1 which comes after a couple of tests able to reshuffle the cards only ... in part.
The favorites are many, from the Bergamo Olympian to the Austrian army consisting of Tippler (No. 4), Venier (7), Schmidhofer (9) and Siebenhofer (17), not to mention Puchner and Ortlieb, passing by Michelle Gisin (at the start with the 3 and still looking for the first victory in CdM) and a Mikaela Shiffrin eager to repeat the shot of two years ago and with the bib number 6; it will be necessary to observe closely a Tina Weirather that seems to be in condition (breastplate 10), the re-entering Ilka Stuhec (13), a young certainty like Corinne Suter (15) and then again McKennis (18) best time in the first test, but above all with the numbers "High" (only 48 the athletes in the race) here is Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, first in both races and with sensational partial, above all in the first part of the track.
For the Norwegian the number 24, but it will be necessary to cure as well as Ester Ledecka, at the start with the 26. The Italy ranks a second point of great level, especially on a track like Lake Louise, or Nicol Delago that will start for fifth . Five in total the Italians, with Francesca Marsaglia wearing the bib 22, Elena Curtoni the 23 and Nadia Delago the 33.

A Dobbiaco, invece, le 10 km in alternato hanno regalato il successo a Davide Graz e Maria Gismondi, all'interno della cornice della Nordic Arena per quella che è stata la prima tappa della Coppa Italia invernale.
