The first round of Killington brings two Italians to the decisive run: the Valdostana, in its seasonal debut, is splendid.

Two Italians qualified on the four at the start, but above all a new, great performance by Federica Brignone.
There was little doubt that the Valdostana could also fight for the top ten in some slalom races, but it is simply necessary to make choices for the 29 year-old from La Salle, during a very long season, and the tests between the Rapid Gates will be among the most sacrificed for her, as happened on the occasion of Levi's opening.
What is certain is that the 11th place obtained in the 1st round of Killington, with the bib number 31, says all of the potential of Faith even in this specialty; 24 hours after the second place in giant, Brignone was confirmed in condition and in confidence, finishing at 3 "41 from Shiffrin and, above all, not too far from a top five that, risking everything for everything in the second (scheduled at 7pm) is not impossible to reach.
Compared to Levi, Irene Curtoni obtained the qualification without major problems, but certainly with the No. 11 one could expect more than the 15th place at 3 â€79 from the head; the second race will be a great opportunity for the Valtellina, while there will be no Lara Della Mea and Martina Peterlini. The Tarvisiana confirms a start to the season that is anything but positive, coming out immediately in the first doors, while the Trentino has taken a step back from its debut (with 26th place and first points in the World Cup), concluding 32nd at 5 "41. There was a lot of space, with a 5-second net qualifying, and it is a real shame not to have slipped all four Italians into a second run well within Guadagnini's potential.
