It will be the Klausberg ski area, in the heart of the splendid Valle Aurina, that will finally kick off the 2020/21 European Cup also for girls. After a thousand postponements, the last of which concerned the super-gs scheduled at the beginning of the week in Sankt Moritz, Italy will host the opening on Saturday and Sunday, with two slalom recovery of those canceled at end of November in Scandinavia. And it will be a show of the highest level, in the two races scheduled on a selective track like the “Guasleitn” and with a real parterre de roi, given that the next CdM slalom will only be staged at the end of December in Semmering. It will start tomorrow, with the two heats scheduled at 10 and 13 (there is also the live streaming, CLICK HERE) and the opening entrusted to the two top Italians. Lara Della Mea and Marta Rossetti will start first and second, while the CdM group will not be Martina Peterlini, last year winner in the European Cup and capable of earning a permanent position, still in the pits for back problems , and obviously Irene Curtoni who is training in Pozza di Fassa. For the rest, there will be really fun for the international starters park: bibs from 3 to 5 for the British Guest and the Swedes Saefvenberg and Rask, then here in series the German Hilzinger and the French Forni and Noens, all athletes usually in the maximum circuit. And from the 16th to the 19th, we will find none other than Bernadette Schild, the Czech Dubovska, a Lena Duerr returning from the success in the FIS slalom at Kronplatz and the same Olympic medalist Katharina Gallhuber. The third Italian at the starting gate will be Vera Tschurtschenthaler (bib 21), followed with 27 by Petra Unterholzner and with number 31 by Anita Gulli. And then again Roberta Midali (34), Serena Viviani (with 41) who made her debut in CdM in Levi and will be looking for important points from the European Cup, Haller (what a start of the season) and Perruchon just before the Finnish Pohlojainen (bib 45), a of the surprises of the specialty opening in Levi. Carlotta Saracco will have the number 47 and an important opportunity even at these levels, then many other blue ones at the start among the 97 starters of a screaming first slalom. MEN IN SANTA CATERINA Third stage of the European Cup, after the two giants of Gurgl and the triptych of Zinal, as regards the men's circuit that will pass from what is now a classic like Santa Caterina Valfurva. On the “Deborah Compagnoni” that last weekend hosted the double giant of the World Cup, the jet men will be protagonists with the first two seasonal descents, which will be staged on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 December. However, it will start already on Saturday with the first of the two scheduled tests (start at 11 am), opened with bib number 1 by Federico Simoni, one of the many Italians that we will then see in the race.
