The Women's World Cup will restart on the weekend with the two giants scheduled in Courchevel, second and third round of the season for the discipline after the opening in Soelden. A Ragnhild Mowinckel was not there on the Rettenbach, but had already foreseen her return to Sankt Moritz, 638 days after the last race, forced to wait a week after the cancellation of the races in Engadine. The 28-year-old from Molde was included in the list of eight Norwegians called for the double challenge on the “Stade Emile-Allais”; alongside Mowinckel, there will also be the one who, just a year ago in Courchevel, obtained the best result of her career with 2nd place just 4 cents from Federica Brignone, who burned her right in the final rush. Let's talk about Mina Fuerst Holtmann, who also on this occasion will be the beacon of a team that will also count on Maria Tviberg, Thea Louise Stjernesund, Kristin Lysdahl, Kaja Norbye, Marte Monsen and a Kristina Riis-Johannessen always able to surprise. On the other hand, five Americans will be competing in the appointment in Haute-Savoie: in addition to Mikaela Shiffrin, we will see Paula Moltzan on the track, on the first podium in her career in the parallel of Lech / Zuers and already in the top ten in Soelden (or her two best career results), Nina O''Brien who also did very well on the Rettenbach (15th), and also the young Keely Cashman and AJ Hurt who will try to qualify for the second heat. Only two Swedes entered, with Sara Hector returning from an excellent parallel in Austria and the “crazy horse” Estelle Alphand. Also official during the day are the calls for Germany, with a trio of athletes. They are Andrea Filser, Lisa Marie Loipetssperger and Marlene Schmotz, who in Courchevel achieved the top of her career (ninth) 12 months ago, just a few weeks before injuring the Crusader in the slalom in Zagreb.
