From the storm of Santa Caterina Valfurva to that of Sankt Moritz the step is short.
If in Valtellina it was possible to bring home the first of the two male giants planned, the situation in the Engadine is quite different; either because it is a super-g and everything gets complicated, but also because the total exposure of Corviglia, even with a lot of wind at high altitude, complicates things damnably beyond the enormous amount of snow that has fallen in the last 36 hours.
Of course you don't smile at Italy, given that you risk a weekend without races when, instead, Brignone, Goggia and Bassino could make the most of such a technical track. The Cuneo-based woman spoke of today's cancellation and the possibility of taking to the track during the weekend, speaking live during "Sabato Sport", the Rai Radio 1 program. "We have been under the snow for two days now, we can't not even to leave the hotel - Marta's story - Early this morning we were immediately informed that there was really a quantity of snow impossible to compete. We will see how it goes on Sunday, but also this afternoon it is snowing heavily, although there is the hope of bringing home something ”.
Covid was not enough, now even the weather is putting the World Cup to a very hard test: "It is a particular season, but we are adapting well to this situation - continues Bassino - It is clear that sooner or later the snow had to arrive and from one side is good so be it, but all of a sudden it creates many problems for you. We hope to recover later on in the calendar, even if all weekends are busy. However, I feel like saying that, in these conditions in a place like Sankt Moritz, it was right to cancel ”.
