A ghostly Rettenbach, with its light morning haze and, above all, the total absence of an audience. The opening of the 2020/21 World Cup in Soelden is completely different from those of the previous twenty years, with the pandemic that forced FIS and organizers to upset everything, as it will be for most of the locations of a season that will be very special . It starts, however, with the female giant confirmed at 10.00 (tracing of the Norwegian Gfeller) as regards the 1st heat, while the second will start at 13.00 with Daniele Simoncelli to trace. And the blues start among the big favorites for this first, with Marta Bassino at the gate with bib number 2, immediately after Wendy Holdener and before three big rivals such as Vlhova, Worley and Robinson. With the number 6 here is Federica Brignone to begin the defense of the crystal ball, while the Norwegian Mina Fuerst Holtmann will close the first sub-group of merit in a first heat that could also see insertions from behind, especially think of Hrovat with the 15 and some surprises , since the opening literally makes history in itself. First heat to be followed on NEVEITALIA, starting at 10.00 with the FIS live timing service.
