The World Cup rankings after the two giants of Kranjska Gora: Bassino is just over 150 points from Vlhova and increasingly red bib in giant. The three speed races on Mont Lachaux a new crucial step in an increasingly exciting confrontation (and Goggia and Brignone are also in it, and how ...).

The wonderful one-two signed by Marta Bassino in the two appointments between the wide doors on the Podkoren of Kranjska Gora, clearly launched the Cuneo woman in solitude towards the possible conquest of what would be the first crystal ball of her young career.
Marta now commands with 400 round points, 128 more than Gisin and 150 over Brignone, today dry; four giants are missing at the end, even if the one canceled in Semmering is still looking for a date on the calendar (probably Jasna, in March) and there is no guarantee that it will be recovered. In that case, there would be three appointments and, at least theoretically, “Bax” could even close the accounts on January 26th on the occasion of the race on the “Erta” of Kronplatz.
Before the super-challenge at “Moelgg's house”, the Women's World Cup will stop in Crans-Montana for a crucial speed triptych (two descents and a super-g on Mont Lachaux, from 22 to 24 January); now there are eight athletes enclosed in less than 350 points, from Vlhova always leader but with a few too many stumbles, to the owner of that "coppone", that is Federica Brignone who certainly cannot be considered cut off, as well as Sofia Goggia who will now have so many opportunities to get excited, including the (beloved) end of month stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
It is clear that Marta Bassino, at this moment, is the best card in the overall dream for Italy, given that the 152 points from Vlhova are far from irrecoverable, thinking then that the handicap of the 4 slalom finals will be addressed only in March. And it is equally clear that Michelle Gisin is probably to be considered the co-favorite with the Slovak, considering the performance of the Swiss in all disciplines.
WCSL chapter of giant: now in front of all there is just Bassino, who has overtaken Brignone, but the important news is the return to the first sub-group of Lara Gut-Behrami, to the detriment of Alice Robinson.
