Francesca Marsaglia ready to look for the first podium in the Cup: now the Piedmontese of adoption has everything to make it

Focus on one of the most complete female skiers in the women's national scene.

At 29, Francesca Marsaglia seems to be finally ready for the season of consecration, the one that could lead her to get her first podium in the World Cup, considering that the opportunities will be even greater in the vintage without big events. The Roman of San Sicario, adopted by the Piedmont and Vialattea in its agonistic growth, returned to great last season, after having lost almost two years between injuries and interventions, starting from the delicate problem linked to a hernia inguinal. Precisely in 2018/19, the multi-purpose blue equaled the best career result twice, as it brought the number of sixths in a maximum circuit race to four: first with the resounding 6th place in the super-g in Val Gardena, then with the same placement in the Cortina downhill, in a season that saw her win another top ten (10th in the Garmisch super-g) and touch the medal in her favorite specialty, in occasion of the 7th world championships in Are. Francy, who in Soelden showed off the new helmet with the Lavazza brand that will accompany her for the 2019/2020 vintage as well as her brother Matteo, the other brand ambassador of the Turin company that chose the brothers adopted by that earth to enter the world of skiing, right on the Rettenbach showed to have found a great level also in giant, that last year had had to neglect returning to the top in the speed disciplines. The 9th place of the 1st race, however, was not repeated in the decisive run, in which the Italian player struggled to find rhythm from the first to the last goal, retreating to the 26th place. A result that is not in line with the potential demonstrated, but at Killington there will be a second chance in this specialty, before jumping into the Lake Louise weekend (6-8 December) to try to start again from the same base, very important , from last year.
