Two heats or one, little changes. If in the first descent with "new" formula, Nadine Fest had literally made the difference by winning with more than a second and a half of margin, the 21 year old Austrian also repeated herself in the classic descent of Sankt Anton, to close a triumphant two-day European Cup .
The Carinthian, in fact, took the number 6 and 7 successes in her career on the continental circuit (she is at an altitude of four in the season), dominating even today for a victory that is worth the top of the general classification to the detriment of the German Jessica Hilzinger; Fest preceded the Swiss Juliana Suter by 7 tenths, with the other Austrian Rosina Schneeberger again on the podium, but in third place with 86 cents of gap (yesterday she was second).
And in 4th place there is an excellent Valentina Cillara Rossi: yesterday 18th, the Ligurian touches the second podium of her career in the European Cup, finishing at 1 "15 from Fest and with a hundredth margin on the Swedish Rapaport, for a placement that is worth a lot considering the specialty cup and the possibility of winning the permanent place for the next year of the World Cup. On the other hand, the young Frenchwoman Karen Smadja Clement fell, with consequences yet to be assessed.
The other blue points? Elena Dolmen finished again 16th as 24 hours before, Sofia Pizzato 18th, Monica Zanoner 23rd, Heloise Edifizi 26th, Giulia Albano 28th and Carlotta Da Canal 30th.
And Thursday and Friday, double slalom on the Swiss snows of Hasliberg with many blue protagonists and with important chances, as demonstrated last weekend of races in Zell am See.
