A female giant that promises to be stellar, certainly one of the most beautiful races of these world championships. And the Olympia delle Tofane presents itself, thanks to the lowering of temperatures during the night (while today a marked increase is expected during the day), in splendid conditions for a 1st heat, starting at 10.00 (the second is instead scheduled at 13.30), opened by Michelle Gisin with the bib n ° 1. The Swiss, clearly very dangerous in terms of medals, will follow Marta Bassino, the reference with her four seasonal victories and gold in parallel that launches the Cuneo in the ideal way for "his" giant. Then here is the reigning world champion Petra Vlhova with the No. 3, and the second blue striker, Federica Brignone, with the 4 before a frightening trio: let's talk about Lara Gut-Behrami, Tessa Worley and Mikaela Shiffrin, who he will close the first sub-group of an opening heat, on a track not too demanding in terms of slopes, but definitely long and anything but to be underestimated, designed by Austria.
