A world-class giant of the highest level, which promises to be one of the most beautiful races of these world championships.
And it is also the best blue card of the last four technical races of the world championship in Cortina 2021, with Italy presenting the new parallel world champion, Marta Bassino (winner of 4 giants in the season out of the 6 disputed), and one Federica Brignone with a great desire for a medal.
Appointment at 10.00 on Thursday morning on the Olympia delle Tofane for the first heat (Austrian design entrusted to Zoechling), followed at 13.30 by the decisive one, drawn by Livio Magoni, coach of the reigning champion Petra Vlhova. Bib n ° 3 for the Slovak, who will start after Michelle Gisin, who caught the '1, and Bassino with the n ° 2.
After Vlhova there will be Brignone with bib 4, then Lara Gut-Behrami, who aims for the third medal after the gold in super-g and the bronze in descent, Tessa Worley (twice giant champion and neo bronze in parallel) with 6 and to close the first sub-group Mikaela Shiffrin, probably the most dangerous of all for the blue dreams of the title, considering the state of form of the American champion already with a gold and a bronze around his neck in this Cortinese World Cup.
The heat is worrying, but the track has been wet again and the surface, at least for the first heat, should be perfect and guarantee time even for those who will start further back; therefore also pay attention to Hector (8), Liensberger (10) who competed again today in the team event, Hrovat with 11 and perhaps the rebirth of Alice Robinson, at the start with 13 before Holdener and Brunner.
With the number 16 the third blue in the race, Elena Curtoni, while Laura Pirovano will start with the 45 on the 99 athletes in the race. Among these, there will also be Corinne Suter (n ° 32), gold and silver in speed, and with the number 54 it is curious to note the presence of the eternal Sarah Schleper, to defend the colors of Mexico in a new world adventure.

Brignone, Goggia e Bassino, un avvicinamento a Soelden (e alla stagione) totalmente differente
Le tre stelle della nazionale, mentre Pirovano e Curtoni continuano a lavorare bene a Ushuaia, stanno vivendo momenti opposti quando mancano 40 giorni all'opening: la bi campionessa olimpica continua il recupero e nel week-end ha raggiunto le amiche (ed ex colleghe) Pircher e Agerer, per la fuoriclasse bergamasca il rientro dall'Argentina e gli esami in arrivo per chiarire la situazione. E la cuneese due volte iridata? Il dt Rulfi ha svelato a Gianmario Bonzi che i tempi negli allenamenti di gigante sono già buoni...
