The Cuneo-based spoke to the "DS", before starting the tour de force between Saturday's race in Austria, Levi's double and then the North American trip. "Soelden forgotten, I'm skiing well and I'm confident". The winner of the 2020 edition in Arlberg gives up thinking about the slalom opening.

Two weeks of recovery, the FISI athlete of the year award received at the end of the month and now the return to full speed on the snow to prepare for a very tough period.
Marta Bassino is ready to work these days in Livigno, also dedicating herself a lot to the parallel as the same colleagues of the men's national team will do, then next weekend in the only specialty race for the 2021/22 World Cup, at Flexen Arena of Lech / Zuers. Saturday will be the turn of the world champion of discipline (competing with Mathiou, Galli, Midali and Haller), who will then also face the two slaloms of November 20-21 in Levi before flying immediately to the States, with giant and slalom in Killington preceding the speed triptych at Lake Louise.
Marta spoke last night at the “Domenica Sportiva”, starting from the bitter debut on the Rettenbach, with the exit in the 1st heat now set aside. “As for Soelden, the disappointment obviously was there at first, but I always look for something positive even from these situations because I know that these are the races and it takes very little to lose everything.
I'm working well, I'm confident in skiing and the season is long, so I'm happy ”.
Speaking of Lech / Zuers, the Cuneo-based woman from Borgo San Dalmazzo gives a clear interpretation of her approach to the parallel, much criticized even by the athletes themselves. "In these days in Livigno we will train because, even if it is the only round of the cup, I want to do well - explained" Bax ", fifth in Arlberg 12 months ago, best Azzurri - It is a race that a I like it, it is different from the rest with the direct challenge with the opponent. Levi? It depended precisely on whether or not Lech had a dispute, so I'll go there and we'll see a little ... ”.
As his colleague Gianmario Bonzi reported today, the absence of the Lech / Zuers parallel of the one who won in 2020 is already certain: Petra Vlhova in fact prefers to dedicate herself 100% to the two Levi slaloms, confirming the will to skip more appointments this season.
In addition to the Slovak one, in Brignone and Goggia, there shouldn't even be Mikaela Shiffrin in the Arlberg, as we explained in recent days.
