Towards the sixth descent of the season, followed by the fourth super-g of a women's World Cup in the last act before the Cortina World Cup.
There is the unknown weather in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where the forecast promises rain and snow for days, including Saturday and Sunday when the two races on the "Kandahar" are expected, which last year saw Viktoria Rebensburg triumph downhill (in front to Federica Brignone) and Corinne Suter in the super-g of the many falls, including the one that cost Sofia Goggia a fractured arm. The Bergamo-based is the absolute reference in speed and so it will also be for the appointment in Bavaria, on a track that is definitely appreciated by the four-time winner (in five races) this year in the queen discipline.
Sofia has never won in the German town, but with four second places (often losing the success by a handful of cents) on the bulletin board: from Thursday, weather permitting, we will know more with the first of the two scheduled tests, starting from 11.00 am. The Olympic downhill champion chose bib n ° 11 for a training opened by Federica Brignone with the '1 and which will see Bassino (10) start before Goggia, with Marsaglia and Curtoni immediately after (bibs 12 and 13).
Laura Pirovano, at rest in the giant of Kronplatz, will return to protagonist with number 16, she is already a splendid fourth in the last descent in Crans-Montana, the blue team is completed by Nadia Delago (tomorrow with bib 29) and Roberta Melesi, 42nd and last athlete at the start.
There are many absences, starting with Michelle Gisin's choice to give up the entire stage, obviously with the many injuries and up to Ramona Siebenhofer, who clearly joins Nina Ortlieb. Switzerland will focus strongly on Corinne Suter (in test with number 9) and Lara Gut-Behrami (17), now very dangerous also in terms of the general classification, and there will be Ester Ledecka who grits her teeth after the "blows" of Crans-Montana.
