The penultimate giant of the Women's World Cup, scheduled for Sunday in Jasna (at 9.30 the first heat, Slovenian layout, at 12.30 the second on a Norwegian design) can be worth a lot for many reasons, one in particular concerning Italy and Marta Bassino.
The parallel world champion is one step away from the first crystal ball of her career, as she sails with 124 points of margin on Tessa Worley, 148 on Michelle Gisin, 178 on Federica Brignone and 180 on Mikaela Shiffrin, the only athletes still theoretically in the race with the only race of the Lenzerheide finals (it will be the last of the 2020/21 cup, next 21 March) after that of tomorrow on the “Lukova 2” which today saw Shiffrin triumph in slalom.
A year after Federica Brignone, in a roll of honor that also sees Deborah Compagnoni and Denise Karbon appear, "Bax" can become the fourth blue in history to take this trophy: a 2nd place will be enough with any result of the rivals, but certainly it will be necessary to go all out without too many calculations, already in the first heat that will see Marta start for sixth.
Bib n ° 1 went to Lara Gut-Behrami, who will try to gain something on Petra Vlhova (n ° 3), now 107 points away and with the two slaloms next week in Are in favor of the Slovakian. Between the two great rivals for the general here is Shiffrin with bib 2 and the desire to return to win even in the giant, but also the American will certainly have to deal with a Federica Brignone (who drew 4) found between super-g and slalom and now waiting for a great response also in "his" specialty.
With the 5 here is Worley, with the 7 Gisin and then pay attention to many athletes of the second sub-group who, on a track that is anything but impossible (on which Bassino graduated as junior world champion in 2014), could fit in front, from Hrovat to Robinson, from Liensberger to Holdener who will start with 14 and 15, just before Elena Curtoni with 16.
The Valtellina will be the third of the five blue at the start, with Roberta Melesi finally starting with 43 and Laura Pirovano with 56.

Nella località cilena, il campione olimpico di gigante è tornato in pista dopo il primo blocco di Ushuaia; Lucas vuole tornare con costanza anche alla disciplina veloce che lo vide laurearsi vice campione del mondo jr nel 2019 e debuttare alla grande in CdM a fine 2022, ma che per diversi motivi aveva messo da parte. Approccio con fiducia opposta per le due discesiste rossocrociate (con i colleghi uomini in arrivo nelle prossime ore), nel primo camp sudamericano senza Lara Gut-Behrami.
