Soelden is very close, or rather already reality for most of the national teams arrived in the Oetztal, a couple of days from the start of a World Cup that will begin on Saturday, with the female giant on Rettenbach (first heat at 10.00, the second is scheduled at 13.05).
There will be seven blues for the opening, with Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone points of reference for a national team that aims straight at success with the Cuneo and the Valle d'Aosta, already winners once each in the opening match (Marta in 2020, Faith in 2015) and with that historic double from two years ago still in everyone's mind. With them, Roberta Melesi and Karoline Pichler to aim for the points, in fact the same goal as Ilaria Ghisalberti, Asja Zenere and the tricolor Elisa Platino, who returns to the World Cup after more than 3 years.
On the snows of Val Senales, the Italian team worked well, in really harsh conditions (even more than those that will be found in the race on the Rettenbach) on the "Leo Gurschler" which, in the last week, hosted essentially all the big names. expectations for the opening, with the exception of the Swiss who got ready at Diavolezza.
From Shiffrin to Vlhova, from Worley to Hector, Mowinckel, Gasienica-Daniel, the same Liensberger in Austria, all given in excellent shape and with the two blue headlights definitely on the ball in comparison with the other stars of the giant.
Now the finishing on the ice box of Soelden, the skiing on the track on Friday morning (there should be no problems, the weather conditions are optimal) and tomorrow afternoon the presentation conference of the blue season, scheduled for 15.15 at the Sunny Hotel, a couple of hours before the bib extraction which will see Bassino and Brignone included in the first starting sub-group for the big meeting on Saturday.
