The FIS has decided: the two female giants of January 16-17 moved to Kranjska Gora as in 2020

Today check on the Podkoren (definitely snowy) ok and Maribor cut off, with the same local insiders stupid by the modalities of the choice.

For the second consecutive year, goodbye Maribor. In a decidedly curious way, given what happened in the morning, Kranjska Gora will host the fourth and fifth giant of the women's World Cup season, on the weekend of 16-17 January. Too little snow in the Slovenian town originally planned on the calendar and, despite the lowering of temperatures in the last few hours, today the FIS carried out the snow check directly on Podkoren, leaving the local journalists themselves astonished (as reported to colleague Gianmario Bonzi) present in Maribor for the decisive day, after the postponement of 24 hours with respect to the date of 7 January. And so, a year after the triumph of Alice Robinson who literally dominated the giant of last February 15 in front of Petra Vlhova, the women will return to Podkoren and certainly it is good news for the show, since there is snow in Kranjska Gora. 'is enough and the slope of a historic track for the men's circuit is selective at the top for the women's circuit. The appointment is therefore on January 16-17 (heats at 11 am and 2 pm on Saturday, at 9.15 am and 12.15 pm on Sunday) with two crucial days also in terms of the general classification for the great challenge between Vlhova, Gisin, Bassino, Brignone and Shiffrin .
