Marianne Kaufmann-Abderhalden won the downhill in Val-d'' Isre

At this time it is the smoother the world and on a track like the old Oreiller-Killy Val d'Isère with the sudden start and end almost straight and curves in the central part where you have to let it go it was almost inevitable that win Marianne Kaufmann-Abderhalden.

The Swiss, who at Lake Louise was the second and fourth, clinched his first victory in the World Cup downhill on the snow in the fourth French female seasonal ahead of 28 cents a newfound Tina Maze, the only one that has managed to Starla close enough, the Slovenian is the third podium of the season. Third place went to 52 cents and first Cup podium for the 21 year old Austrian Cornelia Hütter, decreased with the number 1, the seventh in the second downhill in Lake Louise, one that is very smooth. Fourth Tina Weirather to 11 cents from the podium, the fifth talented Norwegian Lotte Smiseth Sejersted, decreased with 37 and equaled the best result in his career, as in 2011 in Lenzerheide, sixth and seventh two other Swiss Fränzi Aufdenblatten and Dominique Gisin, eighth the revelation of the beginning of winter, the Swedish Kajsa Kling, the ninth German Maria Riesch that on a track that fits the theory can never do well, tenth and eleventh Görgl and the Austrian Elisabeth Anna Fenninger. Resounding twelfth place with the number 48 for the Hungarian Miklós Edit the best career result. In a triumphant day for Switzerland with three athletes in the top seven is completely non Lara Gut, twenty-fifth, the Ticino has lost the top of the World Cup, now commands Weirather with 5 points on Riesch, 7 and 34 of Gut Fenninger while Maze, quiet as a mouse, is 111 points behind, Riesch has topped the list of specialties with 6 points of Kaufmann-Abderhalden. Many falls, ugly especially those of France's Marie Marchand-Arvier, accusing serious shoulder problems (the transalpine are massacred by injuries), and American Stacey Cook, who has raised almost unscathed by a large flight networks. And 'fall immediately after the first intermediate, and was very angry about the mistake, Elena Fanchini. Lindsey Vonn was released when he was coming in the final slide and stop when you are unfortunately kept his knees in tears, so let's hope it's nothing serious, of course I still think that the U.S. has forced too much recovery time . So the blue: Seventeenth Daniela Merighetti a slight recovery, Nadia Fanchini twenty-second, twenty-third Verena Stuffer, twenty-fourth Francesca Marsaglia, Camilla Borsotti thirty-sixth, forty-Johanna Schnarf, falling outside the Enrica Cipriani. Tomorrow, after 11 years returns to fight over a giant in Val-d'' Isère.
