Here she is, the new startlist of the women's super-g that, considering the decidedly favorable weather forecasts starting this evening and for the whole day tomorrow, including a decided lowering of temperatures, should finally open the world championships in Cortina 2021, Thursday starting at 10.45 (Eurosport and Rai Sport live TV). It does not change much compared to the choices made a couple of days ago by the big names in the specialty: Marta Bassino was again given the choice between n ° 1 or 13 (and obviously 15, 17 and 19), with the Cuneo who opted to reopen the race that would have already started last Tuesday, before the cancellation and postponement of 48 hours. On Giovanni Feltrin's track, in fact, Marta will know how to move even without references, but it is equally true that the mantle should "pull" much better than the original super-g and the advantage of the '1 could be less. The first to choose was obviously the big favorite and leader of the WCSL, as well as winner of the last 4 super-gs of the World Cup, a Lara Gut-Behrami who went on the safe side once again by recovering the number 7. The compatriot Corinne Suter, instead , went on 5, leaving Federica Brignone on 9, while Tippler chose 3 and Ledecka on 11. Forced, in fact, to the highest odd numbers Lie (13), Vlhova (15) and the other two blue in the race tomorrow, Elena Curtoni with 17 and Francesca Marsaglia with 19. It has changed substantially, obviously, the draw of the even numbers and Mikaela Shiffrin, reigning world champion and expected at the great comeback in a speed race over a year after the victory in the super-g in Bansko, has caught the number 4. Attention with the 14 to Michelle Gisin and with the 16th to Tessa Worley, as well as Scheyer who had the 18th as a dowry and perhaps she was not as lucky as her compatriot Venier, who will start for the twentieth. The story says that Italy and Switzerland dream of winning again a world title of women's super-g after really many years, with the blue who will try to repeat the feat signed in 1997 in Sestriere by Isolde Kostner, in another World Cup of home, and the Swiss who do not even cheer on Maria Walliser in Crans-Montana 1987. Everyone (or almost everyone) says Lara Gut-Behrami, but it will be a super-g world champion on the Olympia delle Tofane who can give us a lot from every point of view, first and foremost show. And it will go on stage, crossing your fingers, in an exceptional competition context after the rain, snow and fog of the first two, very difficult days of these Cortina World Cups.
