We're coming off one of the seasons of the Women's World Cup pi & ugrave; beautiful as ever, if not more & ugrave; beautiful, in which a large number of protagonists battled with no holds barred and they have kept alive l & rsquo; interest for the conquest of the crystal ball to the end.

And this season is born under the same auspices, and to make more & ugrave; fascinating story, just like last winter, & egrave; the struggle between the veterans and the young upwardly finally l & rsquo; exploded last year and took possession of much of the international limelight. He left just a little & rsquo; with l & rsquo; bitter taste slightly anticipated the conclusion of the fight. Not that Anna Fenninger is not a worthy winner of the Cup, for charity & agrave ;, but two of his opponents have had to give up prematurely: Tina Weirather you & egrave; injured, for l & rsquo; umpteenth time in his career, during the rehearsal of the descent of the Olympics in Sochi, but especially Maria Riesch you & egrave; hurt in the downhill finals in Lenzerheide, accident that & rsquo; led her to announce a withdrawal gi & agrave; widely considered in the course of the season.
In the field of veterans so Mary there will delight & agrave; pi & ugrave; with his class and his humanity & agrave; infinite, there will agrave &; on the other hand her friend Lindsey Vonn at Lake Louise in early December torner & agrave; invitations to tender and we will come back & agrave; with the desire to be again the dominatrix who & egrave; been in the past: a few sentences & ldquo; threatening & rdquo; addressed to the opponent (& ldquo; Other girls probably will feel very calm with me out because when torner & ograve, the races will not be pi & ugrave; much & rdquo; ...) leave no doubt about it, plus Lindsey has every intention of going forward to the Games in Pyeongchang 2018, when avr & agrave; 33 years played. But even for a superfuoriclasse & agrave as you will; difficult to contain the desire to win the pi & ugrave; young people.
And let's see, these young people. Anna Fenninger, with a little & rsquo; luck but also with a large continuit & agrave; results, you & egrave; brought home the coppona and 25 years have not yet made it & egrave; found to have gi & agrave; won everything in career: world gold, Olympic gold, the overall World Cup trophy and specialty & agrave; (In giant), confirming that the stigmata had predestined from a very young age. Avr & agrave; still motivated to keep on winning? We are convinced of s & igrave ;, cos & igrave; more so as the avr & agrave; Gut, to which, apart from the trophy specialty & agrave; (In super-G), lacking all the trophies that has already agrave &; conquered her friend Anna, & egrave; two years pi & ugrave; than her.
While waiting for Mikaela Shiffrin, for now dominant only in slalom, becoming the all-round, this must be the & rsquo; Comano year of Ticino which, in our opinion & egrave; the pi & ugrave; talented among the young, not surprisingly l & rsquo; past winter & egrave; was the one that has won more & ugrave; races, seven, in three specialties & agrave ;, should just eliminate errors (indeed, l & rsquo; mistake, l & rsquo; interned with consequent touch of the boot on the snow and the next slide) that prevented him from fighting until the end with Anna. Tina Weirather also highly anticipated, much continues until she & rsquo; accident in Russia and also her talent superfine if the bad luck will leave & agrave; finally at peace pu & ograve; do very well for the bang.
Among the veterans we left by l & rsquo; another Tina, Tina Maze: after two years ago centr & ograve; the best season ever for a & rsquo; athlete in the women's alpine skiing, l & rsquo; Last year, despite having theoretically from its big points in slalom compared to the opponent (Riesch excluded), you & egrave; immediately call off the fight for the Cup only thinking about the big event and it happens in Sochi won two gold medals in downhill (ex-aequo with Dominique Gisin) and giant. We make & agrave; cos & igrave; also this & rsquo; year aiming mainly at the World Cup and we believe that this will be especially agrave &; his last season, the more & ugrave; which announced a sabbatical that seems so much a prelude to the final withdrawal.
And then there & rsquo; & egrave; Mikaela Shiffrin: 19 years old, skiing crystalline and sanity so far monstrous, it seems that quest & rsquo; summer has cured especially the giant, which means that as well as between the posts tight want to start dominating in goal wide without losing more & ugrave ; once in a slalom, plus in this specialty & agrave; there will be no & agrave; pi & ugrave; among his opponents Marlies Schild, of the plurivincitrice always tight between the posts recently that said enough. If you will keep Mikaela & agrave; a great performance in the disciplines and techniques to & agrave; also some positive foray into speed & agrave; then for the FIFA general there may be too gi & agrave; by that & rsquo; year.
A possible surprise pu & ograve; Viktoria Rebensburg be, which in the past has gi & agrave; demonstrated excellent abilities to multi-purpose that would surely put on display last winter even if it was not bad for pi & ugrave; of half & agrave; season. We are very curious to see how Dominique Gisin affronter & agrave; his first season as Olympic champion downhill: She & egrave; one of those who have the chance & agrave; to go strong in three specialties & agrave ;. Eye on the Canadian Marie-Mich & egrave, the Gagnon, great talent so far expressed only partially. As for Julia Mancuso, its chance Cup general we do not believe pi & ugrave; ugrave & much more; quest that & rsquo; summer, from the photos posted on social, seems to have thought more & ugrave; in water sports to skiing on snow. Some partial success pu & ograve; Nicole Hosp still centered, cos & igrave; Kathrin Zettel as that between the & rsquo; another S & ouml; Sölden & egrave; always gone very strong, not to mention the Swedish squadron of technical disciplines and the falling rainbow in charge of giant Tessa Worley.
In so great a scenario, what role will the blue? Simply have to prove once and for all if they are really as strong as some people think, including the writer of these lines, or not. Chiss & agrave; that this is not l & rsquo; year of revival in the round of Nadia Fanchini, knees permitting: the camuna tip to do well, especially in super-G and giant. With her l & rsquo; unique group of technical disciplines to go on winter snows egrave & South America; was Federica Brignone, who has some knee problem but by his own admission only think to go the pi & ugrave; strong as possible. Small injury to the tibia during the & rsquo; summer now fully recovered for the reentrant Irene Curtoni that obviously & egrave; waiting to levels that compete, and what & egrave; 10-15 early in the giant slalom and slalom or even better, her sister Elena to redeem a season that last, that define negative & egrave; a euphemism so as not to be even been convened to Sochi.
Much better, especially in giant & egrave; Francesca went Marsaglia, called for further progress in speed & agrave ;. Manuela Moelgg, an increase in & rsquo; latter part of last season, and Chiara Costazza, from the very fluctuating performance, are particularly expectations about what & egrave; always been their land, the steep icy, very welcome also from the rest of the team. And Sabrina Fanchini torner & agrave; with good levels of three years ago in a giant? Having said that Michela Azzola & egrave; unfortunately struggling with chronic knee problems, we go to the field speed & agrave ;, gi & agrave; partially examined for Elena Curtoni.
Elena Fanchini last winter & egrave; finally back on the podium after nine years showing remarkable progress in technical passages, but after a couple of falls was egrave &; completely lost. Verena Stuffer at the turn of the 30 years he has made the best season of his career, we hope to repeat it, as we hope to see a good level despite physical ailments to skin her friend Johanna Schnarf. Sofia has recovered from Goggia & rsquo; knee injury but egrave &; still far from his best form, hopefully it arrives in February to coincide with the big event: Sofia & egrave; a & rsquo; born striker, sometimes even too much, and in a single race like the World Cup can & ograve; do very well, as has already agrave &; shown in Schladming 2013 Camilla Borsotti has a fixed place in the super-G but egrave &; at & rsquo; last resort, out team & egrave; instead Agerer Lisa Magdalena, talented & you egrave; completely lost and that must absolutely be recovered.
Daniela Merighetti, our veteran, has to start from & rsquo; incredible fourth place in the downhill in Sochi, when a few days before sounded like it would even give up, and by & rsquo; great feeling that says you have with the new materials. Finally, the very young: they are very expectations Nicole Agnelli, slowed down by too many injuries in the past, Karoline Pichler, world junior silver in giant sar & agrave; in track & agrave gi; S & ouml; Sölden, but especially Marta Bassino, the one that the giant world champion junior at Jasna l & rsquo; won ahead of Karoline, in addition to what you & egrave; won the European Cup in Sestriere. Marta & egrave; an incredibly talented and seems to have his head adapts well to be able to do at least once between the poles wide, the season is about to begin the & rsquo; judge. To close, this time for real, Denise Karbon: Champion of Castelrotto has announced his retirement last March. His smile, which is unlined in good days and in those sad, Mancher & agrave; at all.
