Difficult conditions, with several cm of snow fallen since the day before, and a really strong wind at high altitude that has already forced the competition jury to make an important decision. However, we will try to bring home the second female giant of the season, for the return of the World Cup in Killington: appointment confirmed at 16.00 Italian for the 1st heat on the "Superstar" (tracked by Alejo Hervas, Gut-Behrami's technician ), with the second set at 19.00 (in that case the drawing will be blue with Paolo Deflorian). The certainty is that we will start, exactly as in 2019 when Marta Bassino won on Federica Brignone, even if in that case there was "only" wind, eight doors down from the original start, leading to heats of about fifty seconds and with reduced visibility, since in the Vermont locality it continues to snow, albeit slightly. A giant sprint opened by Petra Vlhova with bib n ° 1, then in the Gisin series, the same Bassino with a great desire to repeat that day two years ago that earned her first cup victory in the Cuneo area, Worley with 4, Gut-Behrami with 5 and Mikaela Shiffrin at the start for sixth, just before Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia, also with the clear goal of trying to bring Italy the first podium of the season after the disappointment of Soelden. First round of the female giant from Killington that you can follow on NEVEITALIA, starting at 4.00 pm with the FIS live timing service.
