The blue slalom needs a revival, and so far nothing new considering the results of the last few years. Suffice it to say that for the first specialty in Levi, only Irene Curtoni will start in the top 30.
With Chiara Costazza's retirement, which would have been taken in the second group (thanks to Hansdotter's retirement and Noens and Schild's absences) like the Valtellina, the group captain will be the hen of a very young quintet made up of Peterlini, Rossetti, Midali , Gulli and Della Mea. And it is precisely on this last one, the 20 year old Tarvisiana, that many hopes are concentrated in the short to medium term.
Lara, in fact, last year made his debut in the World Cup already in the giant of Soelden, but it is in the six slaloms played that he proved he can get to the top ten zone soon, given that despite the very high bibs he got three points finishes , with the best result in Semmering (16th) and some regrets for the exit in the 2nd run of the world slalom of Are and the chance wasted in the last race played (not having qualified for the Soldeu finals) at Spindleruv Mlyn , when he could have done very well with bib number 29.
Della Mea, in fact, will start again in Levi from 39th in the specialty WCSL and, despite various positions climbed with certain absences of many opponents, it will start just outside 30; with the fixed position in the maximum circuit already guaranteed by the final success in the specialty in the European Cup, the '99 blue class is also expected in parallel, where he did very well on the occasion of the bronze won in the world championship event.
Between her and Curtoni, who despite the back problems suffered last season, however, obtained the best overall result in the blue, with the 7th place of Semmering, the generational comparison will serve as a stimulus for both and for all the companions of a national team that , with the work of a technician like Guadagnini, aims to get back on top.
