The startlist of Saturday's race (11.30 am), sixth seasonal specialty event and the first without Sofia Goggia, but with many absences, also thinking about the Olympics. Brignone, who missed today's test as a precaution, at the start with 19 between Curtoni (17) and Nicol Delago (20).

It is the last pre-Olympic descent and, also for this reason, the starter cast (only 41 registered) is very small.
Circumstances have also taken place, in the form of the injuries of Sofia Goggia and Breezy Johnson, and here is the weekend in Garmisch-Partenkirchen will begin tomorrow (11.30 am, live on Eurosport 2 and Rai Sport) with a very special race and with a very uncertain forecast, also due to the weather conditions that may not be so stable on the “Kandahar 1”, already reduced today in the second race with a lot of wind in the upper part.
We will not see (not even in the super-g on Sunday) Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova, but this is not a surprise for the first two of the general classification, while the technical choice of Gut-Behrami, Ledecka, Gisin, Mowinckel and Bassino opens up the possibility to play for the first success of the season for many athletes.
Like Corinne Suter herself, first and third in the two trainings and perhaps the main favorite: the world champion chose number 7, who is 169 points behind Goggia in the specialty classification (4 races are missing, including this one in Garmisch) and can clearly come into play with the absence of the Bergamo champion. Marie-Michele Gagnon will open the descent, who could have chances on this track, with the first of the seven blue at the gate which is also the most concrete hope of a result, that is Nadia Delago who has opted for the n ° 5 and will try to do better of the second test, closed in 19th place almost a second and a half behind Miradoli.
Attention to Conny Huetter with 6, then after Suter the co-favorite could be Kira Weidle (bib 9), back on excellent levels, with Ramona Siebenhofer who did not shine in practice, but first pursuer of Goggia (-136 pt in the cup ) will have an additional stimulus. Austria has many arrows in their bow, we also think of Scheyer and Puchner who will start immediately after the teammate, while Elena Curtoni will start with 17 and will have to limit the damage in the long central sliding section. Same mission as Federica Brignone, number 19 after Miradoli (pay attention to the French ...): the winner of the 2019/2020 CdM today remained in the pits due to indisposition and will certainly focus on the super-g, but can still seek further confidence from a ' another good descent, even if in the first training he suffered.
Nicol Delago (number 20) will have to take advantage of the first part of the race to look for a good result, finally a Francesca Marsaglia (number 26) who seems far from the best condition, but will still be in the game at the Olympics, Roberta Melesi with 36 and Karoline Pichler with 40, athletes who will then aim to do much better in the Bavarian super-g.
