While the men will rest in Val Gardena tomorrow, it will be the women's turn to take to the track on Wednesday in Sankt Moritz, to inaugurate the awaited five days in the Engadine, with another triptych of speed after the one in Lake Louise. Appointment at 11.00 for the first of the two scheduled tests, even if the weather indicates snow for Thursday and it is possible that it will be possible to play only one official training session before the descents, scheduled for 10.30 on Friday and Saturday, with the super-g on Sunday to complete the Swiss stage. Marie-Michele Gagnon will open tomorrow's training, then here are Stuhec and Gisin before five Austrians (Scheyer, Ortlieb, Siebenhofer, Huetter and Puchner, among them we will see Johnson with number 8) almost in series. If Joana Haehlen herself (bib number 10) could do very well on such a technical and complete track, the lights will naturally be focused as always on Sofia Goggia's red bib, at the start twelfth in this first round. After the Bergamasca, Nadia Delago with a great desire for redemption after having suffered at Lake Louise, with the Val Gardena followed by Mowinckel, Corinne Suter and Gut-Behrami, from number 14 to 16, while Elena Curtoni will be the third blue at the gate with number 18. Number 21 for Federica Brignone, then in Italy there will be Laura Pirovano with number 29, Nicol Delago to close the third group, Marta Bassino with number 31 and finally Karoline Pichler (47) and Roberta Melesi (number 57). Lara Colturi will not be at the gate, who should aim only at the super-g on Sunday for her debut in the discipline in CdM, after having scored points in giant slalom (Killington) and slalom (in Sestriere), like Alice Robinson and, for granted absence given who will return in 2023, Ester Ledecka. All confirmed instead for Mikaela Shiffrin (bib 22 in practice) and Petra Vlhova (with 32), who will test themselves in these two days to then decide whether to participate also in the downhills or only in Sunday's race which will close a long weekend in Sankt Moritz is definitely important for the games in terms of the general classification of the World Cup.
