An Austrian domination, and it is certainly not a surprise at the youth level in the women's sector, to open the three days of the Bansko junior world championships also for girls, after last week's men's competitions that brought two medals to Italy with Giovanni Franzoni. Today's super-g saw the eagles dominate, with the first world title for the 2000 class Lena Wechner, so far never on the podium in the European Cup (but she was fourth and fifth in last month's descents in Santa Caterina Valfurva), but capable to beat the same age Magdalena Kappaurer by 24 cents and by 37 the great favorite, the 2001 Magdalena Egger who triumphed in all the Narvik 2020 races, including downhill, super-g and combined. All the rivals are far behind: the Swedish Aronsson is fourth at 75 cents, the Swiss Durrer (who made her debut in the CdM in the fast races of the Val di Fassa) fifth at + 0 "97 and only six cents ahead of the best blue, a '' excellent Ilaria Ghisalberti. The Bergamo-born 2000 class finishes in sixth position (1 "03 from Wechner) despite starting with the bib number 1 and without references, while Sophie Mathiou (2002), who will focus mainly on the technical races on Tuesday (giant) and Wednesday (slalom) , does very well with the 13th place finish at 1 ”94 from the winner. Further away Elena Sandulli, 21st at 2 ”74, and Celina Haller, 28th at 3” 89.
