Irene Curtoni leads the blues in Zagreb: "Enough giant, I'm all on the slalom to get back in front"

On Saturday the first race of 2020, with the Valtellina who believes in it: "I've never done too well here, but I like the track". With her Midali, Rossetti, Peterlini, Della Mea, Gulli and Insam.

Without Federica Brignone, who has chosen to privilege the preparation of the next weekend of races in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, the women's Italian slalom is presented in Zagreb, for the first appointment of 2020 scheduled for Saturday (1 pm at 1 am heats, at 16.15 the second), with seven athletes and the desire to bring more athletes to points. On the Sljeme hill, we will see Lara Della Mea (first position in the top 30 in Lienz), Marta Rossetti, Martina Peterlini, Roberta Midali, Anita Gulli, Vivien Insam and Irene Curtoni. The captain of Guadagnini's group will live his eleventh experience in the Croatian race, the first dating back to 2008 and with the best finish arrived last year and in 2012, or a 14th place which is also the same result obtained last Sunday in Lienz. "We are entering the hottest phase of the season and we start from a track that has never given me too much satisfaction, but that I like - explains Curtoni - In the last three months of this season, I will focus only on slalom, sacrificing the giant, because I am convinced that I can still take satisfaction away. I am not satisfied with arriving in the fifteen; at times I am skiing very well, in others I push sideways and I do not create speed ". Today no skiing on the track, but the track conditions are good with the lowering of the temperatures in the last few days. In the evening the extraction of the bibs, with the same Irene Curtoni (in the second sub-group of merit) the only blue in the 30.
