At least questionable choice of the Ticino (who is fine, simple rest after the two negative days in Cortina), with the Aosta Valley who will start in the first sub-group and has a great chance to overtake her in the WCSL for the Olympic giant. Tomorrow we won't even see Siebenhofer and Holdener in the race.

Time for choices and renunciations, two weeks before the Olympic Games.
The last World Cup races before Beijing are affected and, if Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova tomorrow will play very heavy points for the crystal ball in the giant of Kronplatz, and then fly directly to China skipping the weekend of speed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Switzerland it was even decided to give up tomorrow's challenge on the "Erta" as regards Lara Gut-Behrami (as Italy did with Elena Curtoni, who has much less chance than the Rossocrociata among the large doors), which certainly did not come out brilliantly from the two days of Cortina d''Ampezzo.
We think of Garmisch and then of the Games, of course, but it is a choice that could weigh for the Olympic giant himself, that of the Ticino and her staff: second in 2021 on the South Tyrolean track, Gut-Behrami (7th in the specialty WCSL) she therefore leaves a bib in the first sub-group for tomorrow's race to Federica Brignone, the very one who chases her for that position that would be worth the start among the top 7 in the Beijing giant on February 7th.
In any case, Fede will need a high-level result for overtaking, while in the meantime Switzerland will field Michelle Gisin, who is sixth in the WCSL, together with Camille Rast, Andrea Ellenberger, Simone Wild, Lorina Zelger, Vivianne Haerri and Vanessa Kasper, thus holding Wendy Holdener is also at rest, but far from the top 15 and the possibility of playing really useful points.
At Kronplatz not even Ramona Siebenhofer, the current best Austrian gigantist who focuses on the great Olympic goal, will be at the gate.
