A giant with many themes, first of all the challenge for the specialty World Cup which will probably be decided in the last heat of the season, on the “Roc de Fer” in Méribel which tomorrow will host the ninth race between the wide doors.
Sara Hector has just 5 points left, after the exit of Are, against Tessa Worley who could return to conquer the crystal ball of the giant 5 years after the first and only time; the transalpine champion will start with number 5 in the first heat scheduled at 9.00 (drawing by Matteo Baldissarutti, in the staff of Petra Vlhova, the second scheduled at 12.00 will be drawn by the South Tyrolean technician Prenn, who works with Switzerland), the Swede immediately after with the 6.
The number 1, who could really give something more in these snow conditions, was caught by Ragnhild Mowinckel, then with the 2 here is Mikaela Shiffrin who today certainly struggled a lot in slalom, but still has a chance for the cup of giant and could bring out the last energies, albeit with the general cup already won. Marta Bassino, with number 3, has the last chance to get the first seal of the season, she is confident after Are's second place and a good start to the finals.
Vlhova will start with 4, Federica Brignone instead with 7, second of the three blue at the gate as there will also be Elena Curtoni with No. 24 (after her only the world champion jr Egger). It is difficult to think that the second sub-group can fit athletes in the very high neighborhoods, considering the state of form of Lara Gut-Behrami, who will start among other things with the number 12, and Michelle Gisin (14) who came out a little '' battered by today's slalom.
