With the speed races in Val di Fassa, the first verdicts have arrived regarding the detached passes for the World Cup finals scheduled from 17 to 21 March in Lenzerheide. It is about women's downhill and super-g, while in the next weekend between Saalbach and Jasna the 25 names for the men's fast races and for the women's giant will be known. On 17 March, there will almost certainly be only 22 athletes at the start of the final descent of the season, among other things decisive for the assignment of the specialty cup with Goggia, Suter and Gut-Behrami in the running. The Bergamo player will be one of the three absent among those entitled (remember, the first 25 positions of the discipline are considered without the possibility of substitutions), together with Nina Ortlieb and Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, also injured. In any case, six blue will be at the start, with Marta Bassino who will be able to participate thanks to 500 points in the general, although not falling within the 25 specialties (the same possibility for Mikaela Shiffrin, but almost certainly the American will not compete). Considering that the jr world title will not be awarded this year, in addition to Bassino we will therefore see Laura Pirovano, Elena Curtoni, Federica Brignone, Nadia Delago and Francesca Marsaglia, with Switzerland alone who will have six athletes at the starting gate with Corinne Suter, Lara-Gut-Behrami, Jasmine Flury, Michelle Gisin, Priska Nufer and Jasmina Suter. The list is completed with Breezy Johnson, Kira Weidle, Tamara Tippler, Ester Ledecka, Ramona Siebenhofer, Petra Vlhova, Ilka Stuhec, Marie-Michele Gagnon, Mirjam Puchner, Stephanie Venier and Ragnhild Mowinckel. As for the super-g of the next day, Thursday 18 March, there are four blue with the certainty of participating, given that Laura Pirovano was excluded by only one point from the 25th position, to the prerogative of Mirjam Puchner. Out of Goggia, Lie and Haaser due to injury, waiting for the name of the world champion at jr level (the race will be held, in this case, on 8 March in Bansko) and with the presence of Mikaela Shiffrin much more likely in this case , we will then see at the start Lara Gut-Behrami, Federica Brignone, Corinne Suter, Tamara Tippler, Ester Ledecka, Marta Bassino, Petra Vlhova, Francesca Marsaglia, Elena Curtoni, Marie-Michele Gagnon, Christine Scheyer, Michelle Gisin, Priska Nufer, Ragnhild Mowinckel , Tessa Worley, Tiffany Gauthier, Ariane Raedler, Joana Haehlen, Stephanie Venier, Kira Weidle, Jasmina Suter and Mirjam Puchner.
