World Cup Finals: Thursday in Courchevel (10.00) the second speed race on the "Eclipse", without Goggia who will not defend his third place in a potentially all-blue specialty classification. The Aosta Valley starts with the number 7, the Valtellinese with the 9 (but watch out for Bassino with the 17), then Shiffrin and Gut-Behrami even if Miradoli and Mowinckel can do very well from the start, but not only.

A super-g that will enhance even more the characteristics of the more technical athletes, for the final act of the World Cup also in this discipline, tomorrow in Courchevel. This time it will be the women's turn to open the second day of the finals, with the start scheduled at 10.00 (live on TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), on Italian mapping by Giovanni Feltrin, for a race that this time does not have to award specialty trophies. , given that Federica Brignone has already armored her cup in Lenzerheide, but who could already close any conversation for the absolute crystal ball. Mikaela Shiffrin, with today's masterpiece in the descent on the "Eclipse", has put herself in the ideal conditions and, gaining 45 points tomorrow against Petra Vlhova, would seal her fourth CdM with two races to spare, without waiting for the technical tests of the weekend. In the afternoon the decision of Sofia Goggia arrived, who will give up this super-g and in fact ended her season: at this point it is difficult to think of a historic final podium of an all-blue specialty, given that the Bergamo-based is third with 32 lengths of margin on Shiffrin herself and 46 on Gut-Behrami, clearly among the favorites also for the success in Thursday's challenge that will be inaugurated by Romane Miradoli. The winner of the super-g from Lenzerheide will start with the '1, before Gisin and Mowinckel, very dangerous for the uptown areas where we expect, also considering today's good descent, Federica Brignone and Elena Curtoni. The Aosta Valley will start seventh, the Valtellina with 9, then after Worley here are Shiffrin (11) and Gut-Behrami (13). Chances reduced for Corinne Suter in this technical context, woe to underestimate Ledecka (16) and then focus on Marta Bassino, ready with No. 17 to play for a weighty result. Haehlen (18) will dream of another podium, after the downhill one, in his favorite discipline, finally Vlhova (with the world champion jr Egger to close with 22) to try to keep open a cup that has taken the Colorado road again.
