Time to restart from the World Cup and the two scheduled descents on Mont Lachaux, the symbolic slope of the Crans-Montana area. Saturday and Sunday, here are the seventh and eighth seasonal rounds for the queen discipline, open tomorrow from the first of the two scheduled trainings (start at 10.30 as for race-1, while the second race will be staged on Sunday at 10.00). As expected, there will not be the first two of the general classification, Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova who will return for the following weekend of races in Switzerland, or the super-g and the giant from Lenzerheide on 5-6 March. And then Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia will try to take advantage of it, even if the gap in the general classification is over 250 points, leading players in a national team with ten athletes enrolled in the tests. In addition to Goggia, who will defend the 69 points margin on Corinne Suter at the top of the descent ranking with 3 races to go, Brignone, Curtoni, Nadia and Nicol Delago, Marsaglia, Pichler and Melesi, we will also see at the starting gate of tomorrow's training Elena Dolmen and Monica Zanoner, with the dream of making their debut in the World Cup on Saturday. The ''97 class of Auronzo di Cadore was again the best blue in the last two European Cup runs in Crans-Montana, last weekend, and this season won in Sankt Anton, while the Fassana class'' 99 has recovered well from last year's very serious injury, climbing for the first time on the podium in the continental circuit, with the third place downhill at Orcieres-Merlette.
