There are those who cry (Vlhova and Bassino) and those who laugh (Brignone and Goggia), but where is this giant recovered?

In Semmering, after the cancellation of the race between the wide doors, we are already thinking about the calendar (with the second super-g in Sankt Moritz still in the balance), while tomorrow Bassino and Brignone will try again in slalom. Robinson: "Lucky ...".

There are those who are already returning home, considering themselves lucky for a race that was definitively canceled and in which they could no longer do anything after the exit in the first heat; this is the case of Alice Robinson (who would have lost the first starting sub-group) and Sofia Goggia, among the big expectations today in the giant of Semmering then canceled due to the very strong wind that prevented the second heat from being played with the same FIS which would not even guarantee the correct functioning of the timing. There are those who eat their hands for what they set up after the first one, and first of all we think of Petra Vlhova and Marta Bassino, in the first two positions in the middle of the race, but who must already think about tomorrow's race, given that the program regularly includes slalom in the town of Lower Austria (under the spotlight, with heats at 15.15 and 18.30). And there are those who are in the middle, like a Mikaela Shiffrin who was in fourth position, but already six tenths from Vlhova, or Federica Brignone herself who can still smile, and how, for having saved the red bib in a very difficult day, eighth at 1 ”71 from the top after the first heat. Both the American and the Aosta Valley will obviously be among the protagonists even between the narrow poles (with different objectives, of course), in the slalom that on Tuesday will see eight blue at the starting gate, including newcomer Carlotta Saracco. And for Elena Curtoni and Laura Pirovano, who had done well by obtaining the qualification for the 2nd heat, the trip turns into an empty trip, with some regrets especially for the thirty who finally made it, even if starting with bib n ° 67.
