More snow in Lake Louise, tonight we try for the first test of the women's downhill: Goggia with the n ° 13

Start of the speed opening also for the women's cup, but the weather does not help: the startlist (Shiffrin starts with the 31st) of the training scheduled at 20.30 Italian. Meanwhile, the Sankt Moritz races are worrying: there is a risk of quarantine on returning from Canada.

Downhill time for girls too, after the first men's appointment definitely conditioned by the weather, with only one of the three scheduled races on the Men''s Olympic Downhill regularly staged. In Lake Louise it's up to the women's sector, with the triptych scheduled from Friday to Sunday (two runs and a super-g) which could also be affected by a lot of snow still arriving in the state of Alberta; the same first test scheduled today, at 20.30 Italian (12.30 local time), is definitely at risk. It will be the stage of the returns, from that of Nicol Delago in Italy to Nicole Schmidhofer for Austria (who is still waiting for Nina Ortlieb, but the times will be much longer), who will decide only after training whether to compete on Friday, of the same Romane Miradoli to Mikaela Shiffrin. In the case of the American, we do not see it going downhill from 24-25 January 2020 in Bansko, when it conquered a 1st and a 2nd place; without specialty WCSL points, Mikaela will start with the n ° 31 both in practice and in the race. Bib number 1 today for Ilka Stuhec, then Flury and immediately the first interesting comparisons with one of the favorites, Breezy Johnson with the n ° 3; Schmidhofer will have the 6, Ledecka the 7, Weidle the 9 to anticipate Venier and Schmidhofer, with Lara Gut-Behrami who opted for the 15 and Corinne Suter, who puts back a bib after having skipped Soelden and Killington to recover better after the fall in training a couple of months ago, to close with the 19th. Italy presents eight athletes at the starting gate: in the 1st test we will soon see Elena Curtoni with the 5th, while Sofia Goggia, as leader of the last season of descent, took the 13 with Nadia Delago (16), Fede Brignone (18) and Francesca Marsaglia (20) to follow. And then Nicol Delago, back on track one year after the crash of Solda and more than 21 months after the last race in CdM, with the bib number 24 while Roberta Melesi will have 46 and Karoline Pichler will have 58, last on the startlist.
