The Stade Emile-Allais of Courchevel is ready to host the show of the third female giant of the season, even if the temperatures are high and the Savoyard track risks ... big.
All confirmed for the start of the 1st round at 10.30 (the second at 13.30, respectively, the Norwegian Gfeller and the technician of Mikaela Shiffrin, Mike Day), with a lot of Italy that wants to be again protagonist in the specialty that, on occasion of the last race in Killington, he saw Bassino and Brignone sign the first of the two girls' double goals in two weeks full of satisfactions for the group of Gianluca Rulfi.
Eight blue at the starting gate, for a race to be followed on NEVEITALIA, starting at 10.30 with the usual FIS live timing service.

It will be Mikaela Shiffrin, who in Courchevel feels at home having won the last four races (two giants, a slalom and a parallel) in the French resort, to open the dances with bib number 1, which could be very important in these conditions snow. Viktoria Rebensburg, who certainly did not shine in the first two seasonal giants, will start second ahead of Wendy Holdener and Tessa Worley, the latter already brilliant also in super-g in Sankt Moritz.
Here then is the top blue duo, with Federica Brignone in search of the first victory of the season (n ° 5 for the Valdostana) and the winner of Killington, Marta Bassino, also fighting for the conquest of the red bib. The first sub-group Petra Vlhova to close, fresh from the first hurray in the parallel slalom of Sankt Moritz, while with the 8th and 9th Eva-Maria Brem and Katharina Liensberger will try to raise Austria also in this specialty.
Eye to Meta Hrovat with the 14, but especially to Alice Robinson with the 15 (not really lucky the New Zealand with the draw), this time at best after training on the snows of Val di Fassa and Alta Badia. Second consecutive giant for Anna Veith (20), while we will see with 22 if Lara Gut-Behrami will show progress even among the wide doors after the excellent super-g last Saturday.
Third blue at the via Irene Curtoni with 29, then there will be Sofia Goggia just outside 30 (bib number 31), after Killington's 54th and called to another qualification to make precious points. Behind the Bergamo there will also be two sprinters like Ramona Siebenhofer and Corinne Suter, finally the high numbers for Roberta Midali (52), the re-debutant Valentina Cillara Rossi (55), competing in Courchevel 4 years after her second time in World Cup and back from the first podium of the European Cup career in the giant of Andalo, Francesca Marsaglia with 56 and Laura Pirovano with 61.
