The only real test (with only 35 starters) was regularly staged on the Olympia delle Tofane, after that morning sprint, to ensure that tomorrow the women's downhill of the world championships in Cortina will be disputed.
And it is precisely the new super-g world champion, Lara Gut-Behrami, to set the best time on a track she loves and where she has already won in this discipline too, with the possibility of a gold double. that impossible. However, a great battle is expected on Saturday (start at 11.00), given that the Austrian army is there. First time trial in the morning on a shortened track, Mirjam Puchner is third at 34 cents from the Ticino, with compatriot Tamara Tippler in the middle, second at + 0 ”19.
And Wunderteam is still in fourth place, with Ramona Siebenhofer (double in Cortina downhill two years ago) at 4 tenths, just ahead of Kira Weidle and Ilka Stuhec, two other very dangerous athletes on a slope like that of the Olympia delle Tofane .
Gagnon and Gisin still do well, the top ten of the day is completed by Scheyer and Johnson, tenth at 76 cents, just one better than Corinne Suter and seven over Ester Ledecka, among the great favorites and today hidden as the same holder of the crystal ball specialty. And the blue ones? We reiterate it once again, it is difficult to expect a medal result in this race with the absence of the one who would have been indisputably the main candidate for the gold medal, or Sofia Goggia. The second test, however, gave discreet indications regarding Francesca Marsaglia, 13th but only 85 cents from Gut-Behrami, then Nadia Delago (17th) and Elena Curtoni (19th) above the second posting, with Laura Pirovano who has yet to find his references and finished 22nd to a second and a half.
