Bassino and Brignone in chorus: "Right to postpone, Thursday we will have a nice and regular race"

The two blue stars and a Cortina World Cup that continues to make us wait. Tomorrow we should finally start with the super-g, Marta. "We will start from scratch".

A double from cancellation, Monday at dawn when we have not even arrived on the track, with the alpine combined officially postponed (and relocated on Monday 15) already at 7.30 am, and yesterday with the super-g that instead forced the athletes to wait on the Olympia delle Tofane until 2.30pm. The Cortina World Championship is particularly tough in this start for the girls, but on Thursday it will finally begin (the forecasts are very good) with the super-g rescheduled at 10.45. This afternoon the new bib extraction: we will see if Marta Bassino will still have the opportunity to take the n ° 1, even if with a more compact coat it could be less convenient to open a race like the super-g. "You could hardly see the first door, even with the departure lowered - explained the woman from Cuneo last night, guest of" Casa Italia Collection - FISI "- It was a long and demanding day on a mental level, also because I had to be ready to go, thinking then that it was a matter of minutes. Now we will start from scratch on Thursday, but it is good to have a day off considering the forecast; we detach completely and then we will have close races, me specifically with the combined on Monday, the parallel on Tuesday and the giant on Thursday. We adapt, trying to find room for training, even if we have to give up some giant sessions. Am I the favorite of that race? I keep my peace of mind, even knowing how many expectations there are for me for that race ". Federica Brignone thinks of her as her teammate: "That's how skiing is, I still remember Vancouver with the giant broken in two days, or the constant postponements of Are 2019. There was nothing to do, then it is obvious that at 11 in the morning there would have been a beautiful condition, but I think they delayed the time for the necessary works on the track. If Thursday is clear and cold, it will be fine because the important thing is to compete in a world race in equal conditions for all, as it was not in the super-g of Are, or with all that giant wind. Let's wait, without nervousness ".
