Almost two months after Soelden, where Mikaela Shiffrin was missing, they will all return to compete in perhaps the most beautiful specialty of the Women's World Cup, considering the competitiveness of the top athletes.
Over the weekend Courchevel will host the second and third giant of a 2020/21 season ready to go live with a double race, on the Stade Emile-Allais, which will also tell us a lot in an absolute crystal sphere. Mikaela Shiffrin will be back, but there were few doubts about it after the very specific choice to skip the Lech / Zuers parallel and the speed weekend in Sankt Moritz, which was then canceled due to weather.

It's time to go to France ”.
They found a lot of fresh snow and a difficult weather, even if the training of the last two days was still good, the blue and Alice Robinson herself in Santa Caterina Valfurva, while the cup leader, Petra Vlhova, flew directly at home to train on the snows of Jasna.
Already on Sunday morning, the Slovak champion had returned to his homeland, to then be able to carry out three high level training sessions from Monday to today, as explained by Livio Magoni himself, who is inventing everything and more to guarantee the highest possible quality at the work of his athlete. "We chose to get out of the vortex of bad weather in the Alps and I also thought of an advantage for Petra's mentality - the analysis of the Bergamo technician at the head of Team Vlhova - It is certainly hard for myself and my Slovakian assistant Matej , with about thirty hours of travel there and back, but we had three practically perfect days, with training on the hard natural and two sessions on the difficult bar.
I have to thank all the Jasna team who provided us with the track, water, men, ski-doo, cats for the beating. Yes, there is a lot of pride in her house for what Petra is doing. And now Courchevel full gas ... ".
