In Kranjska Gora it's already time to think about the second consecutive giant event on the splendid Podkoren which already today gave a top-level show.
The Slovenian weekend closes with race-2 between the wide doors: Sunday the start again from 9.30, with the first heat traced by Karin Harjo, the female head coach from Canada who led to the first triumph in CdM the splendid Valérie Grenier seen a few hours ago.
At 12.30 the decisive round (both live on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), based on a design by the Swiss coach, the former blue national Heini Pfitscher.
Mikaela Shiffrin will inaugurate the first run with bib number 1, then here is immediately Marta Bassino, who leads the giant classification with 80 points ahead of the American champion: the Cuneo native will seek the fifth podium in Kranjska Gora, the eighth consecutive in the discipline, while Tessa Worley has to redeem a really negative first giant. The Transalpine will start with number 3, followed by Petra Vlhova, today great third and again with bib number 4. Two numbers less than in race-1 for Federica Brignone: with number 5, the Valle d'Aosta will put all her desire on the track to seize the "famous" fiftieth podium in CdM, even today escaped by just over a tenth.
Sara Hector, only ninth on the track that last year saw her dominate, will still have the number 6 and will precede Lara Gut-Behrami, with 7 to go in search of the third podium of the season between the wide gates, after however having played an excellent race again today.
And after Truppe and Stjernesund, in the second sub-group here is the "10" of Valérie Grenier, to look for an encore which is anything but impossible, given the Canadian's form; It's hard to think that the various Gasienica-Daniel (even if she collected less than the potential shown at times in the last few races), Gisin, Moltzan herself and Mowinckel could enter the fight between the very great, which today undermined Coralie Frasse Sombet, not very lucky in the draw having drawn on the 15th.
As in race-1, six Italians are expected at the starting gate: number 32 for Asja Zenere, looking for the fourth points placement in six giants of the cup, number 43 for Elisa Platino, first time points in this morning's giants, n ° 45 for Roberta Melesi and a lot of experience to gain, without particular expectations, for Laura Steinmair who will wear bib number 62 again.
