After the opening moved to Valle Aurina, with the first two slalom of the European Cup season that brought Lara Della Mea in front of all, it is time for a giant for the continental circuit, with the first two specialty races (initially planned for December 5-6) in the heart of the Zillertal, in Hippach.
Austrian snows who, for the first heat of the opening race, once again exalt Maryna Gasienica-Daniel, the 26-year-old Polish woman who has already shown an exceptional condition in the World Cup in Courchevel, and who leads clearly in a very tight race at his shoulders. The Norwegian army, with practically all the athletes of the CdM group in the race, is chasing with Mina Fuerst Holtmann at 36 cents, Kaja Norbye fourth at 53 and Marte Monsen fifth at 6 tenths from the top, while the Austrian Elisa Moerzinger is located in the middle, third at 42 cents from Gasienica-Daniel.
There is a lot of young Italy, however, already in this opening heat (the second is scheduled for 13.00): Roberta Midali is confirmed in great shape, after the two successes in the FIS giants of Folgaria. The Bergamo-based player places eighth, 80 cents from the top and much closer to the podium, with bib 35, but there is also a very good Elena Sandulli (bib 29) ready to play for an important result.
And from 11th to 13th place, very close to her teammates, here is Carlotta Saracco (who fits in with 30), at 85 cents, Roberta Melesi (bib 33) at 87 and Luisa Bertani, who instead started with the 8, at 9 tenths. In the thirty also Vivien Insam, 28th at 1 "54, out instead (but still in the running to participate in the second heat) Valentina Cillara Rossi, who did not use the number 2 and suffered a gap of 2" 25, and Ilaria Ghisalberti far over 3 seconds.
