A few more hours and the slalom season will also start in Levi, with the female test that will see Italy fielding six athletes for the battle on the "Levi Black", scheduled from 10.15 am for the 1st round and from 1.15 pm for the decisive run.
The veteran Irene Curtoni will lead the troops on the track, after the withdrawal of the other blue hen in the specialty, Chiara Costazza; with the 34-year-old Valtellina, here is Lara Della Mea, the most awaited talent after last year's results, Martina Peterlini, Marta Rossetti, Roberta Midali and Anita Gulli.
"The track is crossed out below, with a few centimeters of snow to clean up every day - the new responsible manager Matteo Guadagnini, a man of proven experience called to relaunch the movement, is known - As far as we are concerned, we have done a good preparation. The federation focuses on young people, it takes time but I see enthusiasm and energy. The first confrontations with the opponents have been right here in Finland, and the feedback with the same Swiss has been positive; we have taken a step forward and I believe that all the girls can aim to qualify for the 2nd round ".
Speaking of the singles, Guadagnini explains that Irene Curtoni "had fallen during a training session in Hintertux, beating her head and shoulder, but now she is better and is more competitive in slalom than the giant. Among the young, Martina Peterlini is the most constant, she is making qualitative steps and starting at just 50, the starting lists must rise quickly.
Rossetti still finds it hard to pull out his claws and I hope he does it in the race, while Della Mea struggled a bit to find the rhythm in the fall, but he is growing and must try to get into the 30s after putting his nose in the last season. Finally Roberta Midali, often fast but who also jumps often and must find continuity, with Anita Gulli who is skiing very well and showing safety. I trust".
