Everything is ready for the Killington weekend: the "Superstar" is so special for Brignone and Shiffrin

FIS snow control has officially confirmed women's technical races in Vermont.

The World Cup will return to Killington, for the fourth consecutive year, with a giant and a now traditional slalom on the "Superstar". Green light for the organizers, but there were few doubts about it, and so on Saturday 30 November the second seasonal battle will be staged between the wide doors after Soelden, but without the red bib of Alice Robinson in the race (the New Zealand will be in Courchevel , next December 17th for the third test), and Sunday December 1st the slalom always dominated, in those parts, by the "landlady" Mikaela Shiffrin. It cannot be called the home race for the pink star of the circuit, but since it is the only fixed stop in the States, the whole audience of Killington is literally crazy about the 24-year-old Colorado native, who won three on the "Superstar". sometimes in as many disputed slaloms, not succeeding instead to impose themselves in giant. In 2016, in fact, Tessa Worley won, 12 months later Viktoria Rebensburg and, last year, our Federica Brignone wearing the red bib for the first time. In short, always great champions for a weekend that will precede the fast races in Lake Louise (which already have the go-ahead as well as those of the previous week) and the return to Europe, given that December 14-15 will be staged in Sankt Moritz a super-g and a parallel slalom.
