Peterlini, what a great second heat: best time on the wall, now Killington for the top ten

The thirty paid a lot, in both Levi slalom, in the simpler sections. What we did today, up to the 16th place finish, shows that we can do even better.

It was certainly not the opening of the slalom of the blue dreams, with a 21st and a 16th place overall, with only the double qualification for the 2nd heat by Martina Peterlini, but today's performance of the thirty opens a gap in the darkness of a very young national team that needs time to grow with many athletes. After the retirement of Irene Curtoni, it was clear that the 24-year-old in her thirties would be the reference point of Devid Salvadori's team, among other things the only one to start in the thirty (but in the case of the two slaloms on the Levi Black, the track factor has really not much for the high numbers). If yesterday Martina's second heat was only fair, today we saw another step, with a wall that was simply perfect: by evaluating the partials at the end of the race, the best time of the blue in those 17 "emerges. , also preceding the winner Petra Vlhova by 16 cents (with Shiffrin at 31, but made a mistake at the beginning of the steep), but it is on the plans that Peterlini has left a lot, closing in any case with the 7th time trial to thus gain 9 positions than in the morning. An important signal when thinking about Killington, next Sunday, after having obtained the best result in Levi (until today it was a 20th place) of a still very young career. On the rest we have already said, there is a lot to work on the level of trust for the returning Della Mea and Rossetti, while Bassino will have to decide how much and how to bet on the slalom. And then Midali, Gulli, Mathiou and the injured Viviani, who will return only at the end of December for the Lienz race, already expected in the challenge in seven days in Vermont.
