Val di Fassa, appointment n ° 2. The second descent on the “La VolatA” runway is ready to welcome the jet women for the seventh and penultimate seasonal specialty event, potentially also decisive for the award of the first crystal ball.
At Passo San Pellegrino the race will take place three quarters of an hour earlier than today, ie at 11.00; Elena Curtoni will open the race, obviously with the aim of doing better than today's 11th place. It will not be easy for the Italians on a slope of this type and the favorites, considering that the conditions will be similar, will be the same and Lara Gut-Behrami will go hunting for an encore to escape in the general classification. The Ticinese has chosen the bib n ° 7 again and be careful because she is also in the contest for the downhill cup, having 197 points to recover from Sofia Goggia: at -150 from Bergamo we find Corinne Suter (bib 5, like today ) and Breezy Johnson, who this time went on 3.
Michelle Gisin caught an excellent 4, even if today the track really held up well for everyone despite the high temperatures, then with the 8 we will see the second blue, Nadia Delago finally entered the winds of the WCSL. A very dangerous Kira Weidle will follow, already fourth in race 1, and then with 10 Federica Brignone, called to aim for at least a top ten.
Austria will focus on Tippler (11), but above all on Siebenhofer (13) already second in the first descent, just two cents from Gut-Behrami. And then again Gagnon with 16 and Puchner with 18, two insidious athletes as Laura Pirovano will be for all (the best blue in the descent number 1 with 8th place), who again chose 15, while Vlhova was again forced to 19 to try his "defense" after the excellent 9th place today and now with 29 points to recover from his great rival in the race for the "coppone".
Marta Bassino, who on the "VolatA" just does not seem to have chances for a weight placement, found 20 in the even numbers draw, while Francesca Marsaglia (who made place in the top 20 in Delago) on 26, with Sosio (40 ), Runggaldier (45 for his second CdM race) and Melesi (47) will look for the points they failed to score today.
