The Valtellinese can really dream of the podium as announced on the eve, the Cuneo woman as many points in the cup as Brignone. For Rossetti and Peterlini some difficulties, but a nice sigh of relief ...

We also have a slalom team, and how. Of course, we're only talking about one heat of the first round of the season, but Levi already gives us a lot of certainties (after those accumulated in the last year) about the potential of the blue also in this discipline.
Five out of seven qualified, even if perhaps a little more could have been expected from the young players: Marta Rossetti and Martina Peterlini made it out of breath, at the end 28th and 29th and therefore called, with a perfect track, to reassemble some position to take home points. Too bad, very sinful for Lara Della Mea, very fast up to the approach of the wall and then too bungling to take a qualification that seemed to be done, while Serena Viviani was missing a guard to make it immediately at the debut in the World Cup.
Points that could be very important, and we are already thinking in terms of the general classification of the World Cup, for Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino: the Aosta Valley is 14th in the middle of the race, but with a 1 "61 gap, everything is open to reach at least the top ten , really close. The performance of the Cuneo leader after the victory in Soelden was simply amazing: there was already talk on the eve of how well Marta was skiing also in slalom, and here is the proof with a first heat closed in ninth place, at 1 "34 from Vlhova, with bib number 31 (even if the track held up really well).
The best blue was, once again, Irene Curtoni: the veteran of the blue group had not hidden, speaking of the goal of one more podium in what could be her last season. She is very close to Holdener and Gisin for fourth place, while the 7 tenths behind Liensberger are not few, but the current sixth place is already a high quality result for the Valtellinese.
From 1.15 pm we will know everything, with the start of the 2nd and decisive heat.
