Beautiful l & rsquo; embrace the finish between these two extraordinary champions, for the Slovenian & egrave; its first World Cup downhill in a year away from & rsquo; Olympic gold in Sochi (only the Swiss Michela Figini he managed & Igrave; this bis within a year 30 years ago by winning the & rsquo; gold in five circles in Sarajevo in 1984 and the world champion Santa Caterina in 1985) and the third after those in absolute giant in 2011 and in super-G in 2013, his meter medals says & egrave; arrived at an altitude of 12, eight and four Olympic world.
The news & egrave; that & rsquo; Austria lost the first race of these wonderful World Cup even if for nothing. It seemed that he could do no better than Anna, author of the descent pi & ugrave; extraordinary of his career, but Tina on the steep wall central & egrave; managed to do even better and even with a bit & rsquo; Fortune & egrave; managed to repel the & rsquo; s assault & rsquo; athlete of Salzburg for whom victory downhill remains a tab & ugrave; given that the World Cup has racked up four seconds and three thirds. The bronze, as the Games in Sochi, the wins and Lara Gut as a year ago it was not at all happy because & eacute; l & rsquo; gold in the big event does not want to get while Maze between World Cup and Olympics & egrave; at an altitude of five and his great friend Fenninger, from which he accused a gap of 34 cents taken largely in the third corner of the wall, at an altitude of three. The Ticino after three silvers championship takes a different metal though of course it was not what he wanted.
Another superpodio short after imperial in super-G with Gut instead of Lindsey Vonn today, on the curves very pronounced on the wall of the track and Raptor with snow pi & ugrave; hard in recent days, has shown to be very hard to interpret and accused a gap of 1 & rdquo; 05 from Maze, l & rsquo; preceded even the & rsquo; Austrian Nicole Schmidhofer, fourth in 1 & rdquo; 03 and selected all & rsquo; last time in the quartet of wunderteam after winning the confrontation with Nicole Hosp in evidence yesterday. Sixth still a & rsquo; Austrian Elisabeth G & ouml; rgl, the seventh Swiss Nadja Kamer, excellent if you consider that it was the fourth race after returning from one of his many injuries. Well even the Swiss Fabienne Suter, ninth, Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg, tenth, and liechtensteiniana Tina Weirather, eleventh, although maybe they expected something more & ugrave ;. Much more & ugrave; expected instead the US Julia Mancuso, sixteenth, and Sweden's Kajsa Kling, eighteenth, kicked off the US Stacey Cook, ended disastrously in the nets in the test yesterday, and you & egrave; ranked nineteenth.
The blue: an eighth Daniela Merighetti which proves once more & ugrave; the team of Italian descent who can & ograve; do well on pi & ugrave; tracks, shame and shame that often fall even today has lost too much on the initial plan even if the medals were still distant. Twelfth Nadia Fanchini that with the number 1 could perhaps do something better, Elena Fanchini twenty-seventh and Johanna Schnarf on the wall that have skied really bad. Tomorrow what many & egrave; considered the queen of the big event, the men's downhill.
