In Lake Louise we fight against the weather: the startlist of the 2nd test that ... will hardly be done

A second difficult test to run, given that a lot of snow is arriving on Lake Louise which, at least until Thursday, will probably affect the week's program for the women's speed opening. Yesterday we managed to bring home a clearly fundamental training in view of the descents on Friday and Saturday, with Sofia Goggia in front of everyone (albeit with a goal jump like Ilka Stuhec, who followed her with 3 tenths of a detachment) and other good signs from the blue, in particular from the Delago sisters with the returning Nicol already brilliant, a year after the rupture of the Achilles tendon remedied in training in Solda. It will be anything but simple today (12.30 local time, 20.30 Italian time) to play a new training, opened by Lara Gut-Behrami (yesterday "quiet", more than 3 "behind) with bib number 1 , while Federica Brignone drew 2 in the draw for even numbers. Johnson (3), Weidle (5) and Ledecka (7) are three athletes undoubtedly among the expected protagonists in view of the races, such as Corinne Suter who will start in the second round with the n ° 13, before Siebenhofer (15) and Tippler (17), in Austria trying to find a striker able to get on the podium. Mikaela Shiffrin, yesterday quite fast at times (in the end he finished 1 ”90 from Goggia), will clearly have the n ° 31. Eight blue on the track: after Brignone, we will see Nadia Delago with 8, Elena Curtoni with 9, Francesca Marsaglia with 18 before Sofia Goggia who, after the 13th of Tuesday's training, chose the 19th. Nicol Delago with 29, Roberta Melesi with 46 and Karoline Pichler again with 58, the last athlete to start.
