It will start on Wednesday, with the first of the three tests scheduled on the Rosa Khutor Olympic track, the second consecutive appointment with the speed for the women's World Cup.
In the resort not far from Sochi, the forecasts are far from good (although slightly better than those which then led to the cancellation of the weekend scheduled for the final of last season) in view of Saturday's descent and the super g Sunday; already tomorrow for the inaugural test snow is expected and only at dawn we will understand if the training will be feasible or not, scheduled at 11.30 local time (9.30 Italian time).
The startlist of the first race has been made official and with it the absences of Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin: if the Slovakian had already announced that she wanted to concentrate on the next appointments, only in the last few years has the decision to give up by the World Cup leader arrived. therefore he will not attack the red bib of Corinne Suter downhill nor will he go in defense of his supremacy in super-g on Sunday.
With an important margin in general (370 points on Brignone, 395 on Vlhova), Shiffrin's choice goes in the direction of resting and recovering towards Garmisch, perhaps hoping that the weather will help her as happened in Val d''Isère, a little more than a month ago...
Eight blue ones, as known without Marta Bassino and with the other protagonists of Bansko: the returning Sofia Goggia will start right first in the test on Wednesday, followed with bib number 2 by Francesca Marsaglia and with 5 by Nicol Delago. Elena Curtoni will have the 7th, the workaholic Federica Brignone on the 16th, then Laura Pirovano finally in the 30th (bib number 21 for the training on Wednesday), Nadia Delago with the 33th and Verena Gasslitter for the 43rd, on the 44 registered athletes among which we find Ester Ledecka who he still has every intention of trying to play the crystal ball downhill after losing the red bib in favor of Corinne Suter.
