Bansko is ready to embrace the Women's World Cup and will do so in a few hours, with the first and only descent test before a crucial weekend for the whole season and preamble of the triptych at full speed which will be completed with the challenges of Rosa Khutor (1-2 February) and Garmisch-Partenkirchen (8-9 February).
Two descents will be staged in the Bulgarian resort, Friday (recovery of Val d''Isère) and Saturday as the fourth and fifth specialty event, in addition to the third cup super-g on Sunday morning.
Thursday the training (9.45 am Italian, 10.45 am local) on the "Marc Girardelli", opened by a couple of blue ones, since Sofia Goggia will have the bib number 1 and Francesca Marsaglia on the 2nd; nine overall the women of Rulfi engaged, to then define the training for the races, with Brignone down again after Altenmarkt-Zauchensee to look for heavy points in a general classification key (n ° 6 in test for the Aosta Valley), Nicol Delago (bib number 9) returning from the podium in Austria, Elena Curtoni with 22, Marta Bassino (31) who had skipped the first three seasonal descents, Nadia Delago with 35, Laura Pirovano with 43 and Verena Gasslitter, again chosen after returning to Zauchensee and tomorrow on track with the 50.
The big guys are all there, and we are talking about the first two of the overall, Mikaela Shiffrin (in test with 20) and Petra Vlhova (n ° 32) ready to play on a technical track like this, that of Ester Ledecka who sacrificed the stage of snowboard in Piancavallo to try to get back the red bib left to Corinne Suter, and Anna Veith as well on the return in a downhill race (she will then decide whether to play only the super-g or also the first two fast races) on the track where she dominated in 2015 , with the brace between super-g and combined that launched her towards her second World Cup.
Almost five years later, the World Cup (women, since men competed in 2019) returns to Bansko and who knows that even the Salzburg champion cannot find the feelings of the past.
