The Swiss giant sees the specialty leader in the lead halfway through the race, Mikaela (who sees the "coppone" with the zero of the Slovakian rival) and Tessa are close, while Federica is fifth but with a second to recover. Excellent heat for Elena Curtoni who can play for the top ten.

A very tough first heat, on the other hand the slope of the "Beltrametti" does not require anything else and it was already understood in super-g that for the girls it would have been a battle even today.
The giant from Lenzerheide, however, sees the best up front, so much so that Sara Hector is in charge, who makes the difference on the opening wall and closes with 11 cents ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin and 16 over Tessa Worley, the first 3 of the ranking of specialties that literally make a void on all of them.
Meta Hrovat is an excellent fourth, but at 75 cents, Federica Brignone instead pays a clear second, suffering so much at the top before being able to free her horses a bit, even if the podium is far away for now. And there was no shortage of surprises, from the forfeit of Lara Gut-Behrami (we are talking about the worsening of a back problem, which on such a demanding track the Ticinese, who would have started with No. 1, avoided urging), 'exit of Petra Vlhova, who risks leaving this weekend with a huge gap compared to Shiffrin in the cup overall, up to that of Marta Bassino.
For the Cuneo, inclination to the third goal is fatal as happened in the last appearance in giant, at the Olympic Games: another blow to the confidence of Marta, who yesterday had done very well in super-g (fourth).
In the second heat, starting from 13.30, we will not even see Alice Robinson, who won here a year ago but continues to make one mistake after another, while Truppe is good sixth at 1 "07, with the gaps becoming more ample with Gisin and Holdener, seventh and eighth.
Very well Elena Curtoni, 9th at 1 ”66 and in the best heat of the season between the wide doors, waiting to see from n ° 39 onwards the other four blue entered, Pichler, Midali, Melesi and the newcomer Zenere.
