Copper Mountain hosted the Nor-Am Cup women's slalom, the first race of the 2019/2020 season for a review always useful for evaluating new names and determining FIS quotas and rankings.
In reality, today's test did not present a cast of screaming starters, despite many World Cup big names (albeit mainly preparing the first fast races) to be found in the US resort. It was dominated by stars and stripes, with Lila Lapanja taking the fourth career success in Nor-Am Cup, she who had already won two slalom cups in the circuit (2014 and 2016); the 1994 class of Slovenian origin preceded the countrymen Foreste Peterson, born in '93, and Keeley Cashman ('99), but that talent that meets the name of AJ Hurt, class 2000 already seen in the Cup, can eat its hands off. del Mondo, derailed in the second heat after having commanded the race with over eight tenths of a margin.
There were no blue athletes involved, tomorrow there will be a second slalom dedicated to girls, before the double engagement among rapid gates for men, again at Copper Mountain.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico
Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
