"I have to make peace with the giant and ... the steep initials."
So had said Marta Bassino after the exit of Lenzerheide who had paired with that, very bitter, in the first heat of the Olympic giant.
Well, today in Are, on the penultimate seasonal occasion between wide doors, the Cuneo champion managed to break free, disputing a very solid race on the two heats to go and conquer the third podium of this year 2021/22 quite another how simple it is, but that still sees her play with good consistency with the greats of the specialty, despite being out of the game for an encore in the cup for a few weeks already.
The second place at 1 ”24 from a simply impregnable Petra Vlhova is also valid on a mental level after what has happened in recent weeks. Among other things, this is the podium number 20 in the World Cup for "Bax". “It was a very tough race - the first analysis of Marta at the microphone of Simone Benzoni (Rai Sport - In the first piece of the heat this afternoon I had a lot of respect, considering what I was coming from.
In the second heat it was only necessary to fight and do things with precision, but I tried to attack anyway and I'm happy. Petra was very good, already in the first one she would have been ahead of a lot without the 'error at the bottom'.
The blow suffered on the arm, badly getting on the third last gate of the first heat, could instead cost Federica Brignone the participation in tomorrow's slalom. Only in the next ones will it be decided, but with the Aosta Valley out of the game for the general cup, the tendency could be to think directly about the Courchevel-Méribel finals.

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
