The athletes of Italian slalom and giant slalom, without Irene Curtoni, Nadia Fanchini, Sofia Goggia and Manuela Moelgg (the latter three athletes engaged tomorrow at the presentation of the teams badged yellow flame, in Veneto), are located in Hintertux, Austria, for '' the last training session before the move to Soelden expected to'' beginning of next week. The Valtellina is back in Monaco for other leaks, but it is increasingly in doubt its presence on the Rettenbach, where instead could "test" the track as early as this week the other Italian: it would be a "first time" absolute very important . It depends on the ... Austrian selections!

Sölden (Austria) - There are eleven days to the first race of the World Cup alpine ski, women's giant Sölden, scheduled Saturday, Oct. 26, and is still a puzzle, the Italian formation has come on track while you wait good news right from the Austrian glacier.
First things first: the girls blue are currently in training in Hintertux, without the "financier" Sofia Goggia, Manuela Moelgg and Nadia Fanchini, that tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15, 2013, can not miss, at the Hotel Continental in Abano Terme, at the official presentation of the 2013-2014 winter season, in which athletes will be engaged precisely belonging to the Group Skiers yellow flame (also Michela Azzola is part of the Group, but it is not under the team to the World Cup for which he could go to Austria with her companions).
Irene Curtoni is instead returned to Monaco for an'' other infilatrazione that hopefully can help you stay healthy for the next 10 days. But not reach her companions in Hintertux, because after a treatment of this type you can not ski for succssivi two days. Will join the national team only in Sölden, next week, but his presence in the race "is very difficult - says the dt blue Raimund Plancker - because, even if unable to ski and feel good, would find However, faced with the first giant of the season with virtually no training. Anyway, we'll see. "
So, for the race of 26, this is the'' current situation in the blue house: nine places at the disposal of Italy'', 100% safe Federica Brignone, Nadia Fanchini, Elena Curtoni, Sofia Goggia, Lisa and Giulia Agerer Gianesini ; all'' 80% Denise Karbon, for the last two places, in the case of absence of Manuela Moelgg and Irene Curtoni (which however will be brought in Austria), the track will drop Sabrina Fanchini and probably Francesca Marsaglia.
Finally, some update on the ability of the blue to ski on the slopes of the race Rettenbach already at the weekend, it would be very important and a first for this group: "The possibility is c'' - confirms Raimund Plancker -'' but we still await the final okay. Austrians will make interior selections on Friday and Saturday, October 18th and 19th, we will try to ski in the track on Friday, between a test and the'' other ... The day Ideally, Saturdays, actually, because Friday we also delivery of Audi in Madonna di Campiglio, and then Nadia Fanchini and Federica Brignone could not possibly be present with us on the Rettenbach, but I would not, after the tests Austrian , "shut" definitely the track .... Nadia Federica and I'll try to bring them to the Rettenbach Thursdays, if you succeed, for a hit and run, a ski trip with the Americans, who as you know have installed a few seasons their base camp in Sölden, and therefore enjoy priority along with the hosts. await news about, fingers crossed ...
