On Kandahar a training that made ... selection. Faith is third, 34 cents from the specialty leader. The other blue are far away, including Goggia: tomorrow the race.

A test, the only one held after yesterday's cancellation, race in excellent condition and already quite selective.
Interesting indications came from today's training in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, on the Kandahar 1 which on Saturday (always at 11.30) will host the sixth women's downhill of the season, before the Sunday super-g.
If doubts about the weather in Bavaria seem averted, here we find a Corinne Suter immediately at ease and ready to defend the red bib of the leader of the specialty, also considering the absence of Mikaela Shiffrin who is the closest pursuer all''elvetica. The 25-year-old from the Canton of Schwyz preceded Viktoria Rebensburg by 19 cents, practically always glued to the Swiss from top to bottom and she seemed to be found on the snow at home; in third place, however, there is a Federica Brignone who confirms, for the umpteenth time, a condition of extraordinary form. Just 34 cents from Suter, the Aosta Valley was fast at every point of the Kandahar, limiting the damage on the plane after the steep initial and also doing well the final, fundamental link.
A little more than half a second from the head Ilka Stuhec, who will try to find himself in Garmisch as he will hunt for points that can allow her to fight for the crystal ball Ester Ledecka, today fifth at 82 cents and ahead of Ortlieb, Gut-Behrami and Miradoli. Excellent descent by Wendy Holdener, 12th at 1 "73, did not push too much Petra Vlhova who accused 3" 41.
The other blue ones? Quite far apart in this test, although many have tested lines and sensations even on a well-known track: just outside 15:00 Francesca Marsaglia and Elena Curtoni, respectively at 2 "29 and 2" 30 and ahead of Venier, Weidle and the returning Gisin, while Sofia Goggia and Marta Bassino concluded paired at 3 â€21. If the Piedmontese will be able to think above all about Sunday's super-g, the Bergamo will work hard on the video in the next few hours to play it in 24 hours on a slope that has given her four second places ... in the last four fast races held here!
Nicol Delago still seems to be in trouble, today at 3 â€66, eight tenths in front of his sister Nadia.
