A majestic Mikaela Shiffrin, then the rest of the world in a first round of the female giant from Méribel who really keeps everything more and more open in the fight, which will not be just two as we thought on the eve, for the specialty World Cup. On the “Roc de Fer”, the winner of the absolute crystal ball literally flies and digs a very complicated groove to be canceled even for the first chasers, in the second heat scheduled at 12.00. The 27-year-old American champion, third in the discipline classification at 51 points behind the leader Sara Hector, in fact closed with an 82-cent margin over Federica Brignone, on her last chance to find her first victory of the season in giant leagues, where her newfound competitiveness is now a certainty for a few weeks, and 84 on Ragnhild Mowinckel, who had beaten Shiffrin by 5 cents in Thursday's super-g. Petra Vlhova, the fourth and last athlete theoretically still in the running for the giant cup, "turns" in 4th place with 1 "08 to recover, Lara Gut-Behrami (starting with number 12, good) is fifth at 1" 32 and does 5 cents better than Marta Bassinol. The Cuneo starts very well, then goes off on the central wall and she will need a great comeback for the fourth podium goal of the year. Behind "Bax" by a tenth there is Maryna Gasienica-Daniel, then only in eighth position and with a gap of 1 "60, here is Tessa Worley who at this moment would surpass Sara Hector, who precedes her by 5 points, for the cup dream, but will have to finish at least on the podium in case of Shiffrin's victory to reject the American. Hector, in fact, who is not at all at the top after the blow to the knee suffered in Are and closes at 2 ”10, called to the enterprise to save his red bib. (updating)
