Cortina D'' Ampezzo (Belluno / Veneto) - Here we are, finally. After nearly a week of waiting'', and after the great race won by Elisabeth Goergl in the super-G, it is time to downhill on the Olympia delle Tofane, weather permitting, because the night is expected the arrival of a'' disturbance, with snowfall. The street is scheduled for 10.15. Below you will find the start-up list, description of the track map, video, statements, charts and much more. Eight blue at the start, the same as the super-G except Anna Hofer. Favorite? Riesch and Goergl, at this point, the usual suspect now.

Fingers crossed for the weather, because this descent is too important key in the Olympics. '' For Austria, as for the'' Italian, especially now that the quota is increased at 18 Olympic athletes, you have to prove they deserve the call. Salt'' s waiting for girls blue after the time trial on Wednesday, with Schnarf second behind Mancuso and Merighetti stuffer and among the top ten. We must take risks, as did Verena in super-G, put heart, muscle, brain. If the weather holds up,'' the Olympia delle Tofane is more beautiful than ever.
We also relish the top, starting from the refuge Pomedes, the diagonal uphill curves that lead to the "Schuss Tofane" and jump to the'' Duke of Aosta, of course with the other speed than the super-G. And then the Big Bend, the bumps and the Scarpadon Rumerlo, the final jump. Here, characteristic of that year'' are just the jumps, much more pronounced than in the recent past. C'' is all about fun and entertain to this track: jumps, flat, steep, bumps, cross, speed, super-G curves, curves more pronounced. In short, Cortina and nothing else.
The favorites are obviously Maria Riesch won twice at Lake Louise quest'' year, and Elisabeth Goergl, first in the super-G in Cortina downhill and in the'' last played, that of Zauchensee. In season, so far, it went like this:
DESCENT 2013-2014:
Beaver Creek: Gut, Weirather 2a, 3a Fanchini.
Lake Louise 1: Riesch, Abderhalden 2a, 3a Fanchini
Lake Louise 2: Riesch, Weirather 2a, 3a Fenninger
Val d'Isere: Abderhalden, 2nd 3rd Maze Huetter
Zauchensee: Goergl 2nd 3rd Fenninger Maze

The words of ALBERTO lengths, head speed Italian women's team, after the time trial on Wednesday: "It was real test today'' on'' Olympia Tofane and our were good, I've seen a lot of fillers and all this is positive for tomorrow's super-G. Congratulations to the organizers because the track is perfect.'' It's obvious that this is a test and should be considered as such, but in any case it is moral for the races the next few days . Schnarf Hanna has done a first extraordinary session by guessing the perfect line in a double on the top that allows you to recover a lot of ground. Only she and Mancuso have gone that way and it is for that reason that they are there in front at all. keep this spirit I hope that in the coming days. "
'' It's true that Mancuso and Schnarf were good especially in the upper part in the training, and it is true that you can get some at the bottom with a delay of more than 3/4/10 maximum, but the story of the last downhill in Cortina tells us that freedom will win in the end, as in super-G, leaving the "Big S", I ask the bumps of Scarpadon, taking out the right direction in the jump curve to the "Pale of Rumerlo" and great for speed " Plans of Rumerlo "before the final jump. We'll see.
Verena Stuffer'' after the 8th place in the super-G, equaled his best result in his career: "I just tried to attack and then narrow lines.'m Very happy because I proved to myself that the ninth of Lake Louise was not only a case and that one should never give up! At each ski days you always start from scratch and you never know what can happen. well face it also races in the coming days, I will try to the end and what comes out ... come out. I'll do it for me is for anyone who supports me. "
The track Olympia is always beautiful. Kristian Ghedina've described it perfectly here.
