An authentic domination, to crown with the US championships a truly splendid year for her, that of the high-level explosion especially in giants. Nina O''Brien had no rivals, in the national super-g staged in the past few hours in Aspen; the 23-year-old who, during this year, achieved five top ten in CdM competitions in the technical disciplines and touched a sensational world medal in giant in Cortina, took the eighth stars and stripes title of her very young career, closing the race on the snows of Colorado with 99 hundredths of a margin over the Norwegian Hannah Saethereng and 1 ”13 over Storm Klomhaus, silver at national level ahead of Lila Lapanja (5th overall and bronze). AJ Hurt, one of the favorites in the race for the US title, left the scene and then redeem herself by winning the next super-g valid only at FIS level. Yesterday in Aspen was also that of the final catwalk of Laurenne Ross, who had won the last descent of her career and instead allowed herself a celebration for the super-g, wearing a ... spyder-woman suit and the embrace of everyone. On the other hand, Resi Stiegler had already announced his retirement during the slalom in Are, who competed in speed and will complete his journey at a competitive level between today's combined (missing the slalom heat to complete it, with the weather that caused the postponement of 24 hours compared to the scheduled schedule for Tuesday) and the giant and slalom that will be staged on Thursday and Friday. Races in which Nina O''Brien herself will start with all the favors of the prediction.
