It is time for the eve again, four days after the giant from Lenzerheide, for the six blue who will be the protagonists tomorrow (then there will be the slalom on Saturday) between the wide doors in Are. No skiing on the track, since the organizers still had to work on the race track, which is why the girls from Rulfi trained on a nearby slope, like all the other protagonists of the white circus, in view of the race starting on Friday at 15.00 as regards the first heat, with the second at 18.00 under the spotlight, a tradition in the Swedish town. Italgigante led by Federica Brignone, here already second in 2012 and third in 2015, in the place where she arithmetically won the 2020 World Cup with the cancellation of the three races scheduled when the pandemic was breaking out, in addition to Marta Bassino who has a great desire for redemption after the new outing of Lenzerheide, Roberta Melesi (who took home good points in Switzerland with 19th place), Karoline Pichler, Asja Zenere, in the second race in the maximum circuit, and Roberta Midali. Italian national team that has never won on these snows and the vice Olympic champion of the specialty, fresh from second place in Lenzerheide, aims very high being in great condition. "That cup was a strange feeling because the victory came without even competing - Brignone remembers to physi.org, referring to 2020 - A real shame, the memory of those hours is always alive and I have always liked skiing in Are, here it is beautiful as always, also because we do not stay in the usual hotels, but we divide into small apartments and in a very nice atmosphere. For the moment it is not so cold, on Wednesday we trained in slalom and today we made a giant leap. I feel pretty good, the track on which we will compete is not that of the World Championships three years ago, but it is the one on which the men went. A slope that has always given me good results, we are here to give our best and further grow in the standings, with the aim of having fun ”.
