Aspen is a town located in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It is one of the most important as far as alpine skiing, so as to have hosted several races of the World Cup since 1968, and the edition of the World Cup of 1950, in which Zeno Colo was protagonist with gold medals in Downhill and Giant and silver in Slalom.
ASPEN PREVIOUS
In all, 17 so far in Aspen Slalom World Cup played, most of them in the new millennium, when the Colorado city has become virtually permanent fixture with the technical disciplines, usually in late November.
Are 6 girls who lead the ranking of plurivincitrici at 2: Marlies Schild, Janica Kostelic, Nicole Hosp, Anja Pärson, Sarka Strachova and Mikaela Shiffrin. The dominator of the season, as well as the Czech, will therefore have the chance to win the third victory in Aspen Slalom and store this other little piece of history.
At the podium level command instead Marlies Schild, Kathrin Zettel and Tanja Poutiainen at an altitude of 5. Italy boasts two top three in Aspen Slalom: Manuela Moelgg was second behind Poutiainen November 28, 2004, Celina saws came instead in the third race He awarded the world Championship medals 15 February 1950.
BOWL OF SPECIALTIES 'SLALOM
The last slalom of the 2016-17 World Cup will only statistical significance. Mikaela Shiffrin has in fact already deservedly won the fourth cup of specialty over the past five years, losing only one of last season because of the injury that stopped her from December to February.
Also little pathos for the other two steps of the podium: Veronika Velez Zuzulova is in turn mathematically second, while Wendy Holdener, third, must defend more than 40 points on Frida Hansdotter, Nina Løseth and Sarka Strachova, the only still able to play a place on the podium. The best Italian is Chiara Costazza, ninth with 206 points and author of a season entirely positive added.
THE QUALIFYING AT SLALOM OF ASPEN
As known, the Finals can participate in only the first 25 of the ranking of the season's specialties being the champion of the world, the world junior champion and all those who have gained at least 500 points in the overall standings of the World Cup. Therefore, this is the list of ALL qualified, regardless of their status (the injured or not used to this specialty logically not participate).
