Luck is & egrave; materialized in the form of fog that made by the organizers to cut the top of shortening the race half a minute and starting right from the & Igrave; you & egrave; eliminated the jump Duca d & rsquo; Aosta cos & Igrave; & Egrave; remained only the stretch of track with long corners on which to run the skis and the final straight stretch after the blades of Rumerlo, all points where Elena & egrave; teacher, on the other hand has always had difficulty on the jumps & agrave; and l & rsquo; elimination of the pi & ugrave; difficult of & rsquo; Olympia delle Tofane & egrave; was only good for her.
Result: The 29 year-old camuna took his second victory in the World Cup back on the step pi & ugrave; top of the podium after the triumph of Lake Louise of 2 December 2005, even more & ugrave; Nine years ago, while the & rsquo; Italian women back to win in the World Cup after three years, from January 14, 2012 when Daniela Merighetti, seventh today because of a bad push by the pound, had won in Cortina.
On the podium with Elena Fanchini rose the Canadian Larisa Yurkiw, according to 15 cents, which brings back his country among the top three of a descent after five years, a third place for Emily Brydon of December 5, 2009 in Lake Louise, and German Viktoria Rebensburg, gi & agrave; second in Val d & rsquo; Is & egrave; re a little less than a month ago and now third at 31 cents.
Fourth to 34 cents US Laurenne Ross, fifth l & rsquo; Austrian Anna Fenninger, the best of the big and here opens another chapter: the first numbers (Yurkiw had 3 Rebensburg 5 and Ross l & rsquo; 1) a few of the best have managed to enter the upper tiers of the rankings, evidently because & eacute; the track conditions would not allow it, Elena had already & agrave; a relatively high number, 14, and this increases its merits because & eacute; Best lost a lot in the second and third part of the track, but she has even gained in the second and third have limited the damage.
Sixth is & egrave; placed the Swedish Kajsa Kling, seventh Merighetti as we said, eighth tie the American Julia Mancuso and the Swiss Fabienne Suter, decimates the American Lindsey Vonn. Eleventh l & rsquo; Austrian Elisabeth G & ouml; rgl, thirteenth the Slovenian Tina Maze that the first intermediate was close to Elena but then lost almost a second, nineteenth l & rsquo; other Austrian Nicole Hosp, twenty the liechtensteiniana Tina Weirather, even twenty-fifth the Swiss Lara Gut . Maze leads the overall standings with 272 points Cup on American Mikaela Shiffrin and 345 of Fenninger, Vonn that specialty & agrave; with 47 of Rebensburg.
The other blue: Nadia Fanchini fifteenth, twenty-second Johanna Schnarf, Verena Stuffer thirty, thirty-sixth and thirty-ninth Elena Francesca Marsaglia Curtoni. In conclusion, a descent on & rsquo; Olympia delle Tofane technically pi & ugrave; poor than usual but that brings a victory that we wanted the Italian team of speed & agrave; and that we hope will serve as a shock for the other blue for the next races, beginning with the descent of tomorrow, or Sunday if as seems likely tomorrow were snowing.
