First heat at Kronplatz, Bassino and Brignone in chorus: "We managed too much"

Fourth and sixth time in the home giant for the two top Italians, the only ones to qualify with the young players in difficulty. For the podium it can be done, for the victory ... more difficult.

A first round of the giant of Kronplatz so-so, with a gap not easy to recover in the second, starting from 13.30, since there are respectively 61 and 70 cents from Petra Vlhova, for Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone who started in series right after the Slovak, on an “Erta” which soon showed signs of deterioration. Both of them agree, the Cuneo and the Valle d'Aosta, on too much respect for a track, that of home Norway, which is actually very simple. Marta and Fede are the only blue qualified, given that Pichler, Midali, Melesi, Insam and Ghisalberti (this latest release) did not manage to snatch the pass with high bibs. Without Goggia and Curtoni, the void behind the two big names in the discipline exists, but we are working to fill it. "We had too much respect - immediately attaches Bassino to the microphones of Rai Sport, she who is fourth and is looking for the ... fourth podium on this track that she loves so much - Speaking also with Fed we realized that especially on the last wall the track and snow were easy. Now we know what to change for the second ". And Federica Brignone, also interviewed by Simone Benzoni, adds: "I didn't trust the counter-slope, I skied well and regularly but I went around a bit - analyzes the Aosta Valley, at least from the virtual podium to the start of the stretch conclusive - We could have given up, especially in the final, but we are all there and in the second it will be darker and more moved, therefore more difficult. However, I am happy with the skiing, since I was not competing in giant leagues since Lienz and I needed a solid heat ".
