We return to Are for a giant of the World Cup that has been missing in these parts even from 2015 between canceled finals (2018), world championships in 2019, pandemic in 2020 and double slalom scheduled a year ago on the Swedish snow.
Lindsey Vonn won that day more than 6 years ago, in front of Eva-Maria Brem (who will go on to win the specialty cup) and Federica Brignone, on her second podium over there. And the Aosta Valley will open the giant of tomorrow, eighth and penultimate of this season that sees Fede close in great shape and be able to aim, this is the goal, for the first seasonal success between wide doors after the 2nd place in Lenzerheide.
Of course, the 3rd place in the general is another goal, but Shiffrin (above all) and Vlhova seem too far away to be able to hope for a recovery: the start on Friday at 15.00, at 18.00 the 2nd night heat, designed by Gianluca Rulfi, coach of the blue.
The first heat with New Zealand design for Alice Robinson, who even ended up at the starting bib number 22 after having missed almost all the races of the season. With 2 Michelle Gisin, first athlete of a Switzerland without Lara Gut-Behrami, will come out of the gate, then with 3 here is the leader of general Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 117 points ahead of Petra Vlhova (bib 5 tomorrow), in difficulty in the last giants but that in Are won the world title in 2019.
Among the duelists, Marta Bassino with No. 4 to restart after the immediate exit of Lenzerheide and look for the third podium of the season: with 6 and 7, one after the other the first two of the specialty ranking, with Tessa Worley having to recover 55 points from Sara Hector, who could already celebrate in her home race.
In the second sub-group we will start with Liensberger, pay attention to Mowinckel (10) on these snows, but also to Truppe (13) and Tviberg with 15. There are six Italians at the gate: numbers over 40 for Karoline Pichler (41), exit in Lenzerheide after a great super-g, Roberta Midali with 42, Roberta Melesi (44) to repeat last Sunday's test and Asja Zenere with 46 of her idol Valentino Rossi, in what will be the second appearance for Vicenza in World Cup.
