The Cuneo woman is the only blue in the fifteen after the 1st heat of the world giant, forced to recover 1 "54 in Shiffrin and with a very wide gap from the podium area. 4 seconds away from Pirovano (30th) and Curtoni. Goggia in the parterre: "I plan to get back on skis in late April".

A big disappointment. Of course, there is still one heat to hope for, but it really seems like a "mission impossible" for Marta Bassino to look for the medal in "her" race, the one she had been aiming for for weeks and in which she started as a great favorite, despite the slope of the Olympia delle Tofane certainly did not suit the characteristics of the Cuneo area at its best.
Problems that emerged in the first heat of the world giant, exacerbated by two serious errors that force “Bax” to 15th position, 1 ”54 away from Mikaela Shiffrin and, above all, a large gap from many athletes in the podium area.
With Brignone out, Pirovano in for the broken cap (the thirty is 30th, but at 3 ”90) and Curtoni 32nd, for the Italgigante it was the most difficult day of the season, right in the home race. "I made some mistakes, it was a heat with many snow changes and I struggled to adapt - Marta confessed to Rai Sport after her test - It's easy to take a detachment when you make a mistake on this track and it happens every now and then . However it is never over (the parallel teaches ...) and at this point I will give my best in the second, with clarity and the desire to have fun ".
Elena Curtoni is really disappointed in the parterre: “I had very bad sensations, talking to my skiman we didn't understand why I didn't have grip. The track was beautiful, the opportunity was there as the weather could be done, sorry to end like this ”.

Brignone, Goggia e Bassino, un avvicinamento a Soelden (e alla stagione) totalmente differente

E la cuneese due volte iridata? Il dt Rulfi ha svelato a Gianmario Bonzi che i tempi negli allenamenti di gigante sono già buoni...
