It was not an easy season for Franziska Gritsch, also due to the decision not to get vaccinated that deprived her of the North American World Cup trip at the end of November, although her performance in the maximum circuit was still below the great potential. already shown on some occasions.
At the European Cup level, however, the Austrian multipurpose class 1997 is doing something excellent and today, winning the slalom in Bad Wiessee, Gritsch has gone further as, in just three weeks, she has won at least one race in the four disciplines classic. It started with the two super-gs brought home in Val Sarentino, on February 3-4, then went to take the giant success in Maribor, passing through the first descent of Crans-Montana, last Saturday, and today here is a another seal in what would be "his" specialty.
A great comeback was needed to burn, by just 4 cents, the Swedish Elsa Fermbaeck who started in the 2nd heat with almost 8 tenths of a margin on Franziska, increasingly the master of the general classification while, at the level of specialties after eight tests out of ten on the calendar, Aline Danioth remains ahead of all with today's 3rd place, 37 cents away from Gritsch, in a ranking that sees Lara Della Mea solid in third place, at -47 pt from the Swiss and with a margin of 5 on the same Gritsch.
The Tarvisian today finished sixth, with the usual comeback in the decisive heat to finish 98 cents from the winner, just behind two other leading Austrians in the CdM such as Mair and Gallhuber, fourth and fifth respectively. Behind the best blue is Leona Popovic, who has decided to compete in these two European Cup races in Bavaria before the Are slalom in mid-March that will precede the finals, while the second Italian at the finish is Vivien Insam, 16th with Beatrice Sola 21st, Annette Belfrond 22nd, Marta Rossetti 23rd and Vera Tschurtschenthaler 26th.
Out of the zone points Haller (39th), Mascherona (41st) and Gulli 46th, with Mathiou out in the 2nd heat after having already finished the first far away. Friday game bis, then World Championships jr for many and we will go directly to the Soldeu finals.
