There is great curiosity around “La VolatA”, a track that fans were able to see only on the occasion of the 2019 junior world championships, in addition to the European Cup events.
We are moving towards the historic debut of the Val di Fassa in the World Cup, with the three days at Passo San Pellegrino which includes, on Friday and Saturday, two descents followed by the super-G on Sunday. Wednesday the official start with the first of the two tests on a track that will obviously see all those who played for medals at the Cortina World Championships as protagonists, with the exception of Mikaela Shiffrin who will also focus on technical races in the season finale.
A crucial weekend for Lara Gut-Behrami, one step away from her third super-g cup, and for Corinne Suter who, after the downhill world title, chases an encore in the specialty crystal ball, being able to take advantage of the absence by Sofia Goggia. Speaking of asa Italy, with the blue who tested the new slope before the world championship (like many other nationals), there is curiosity around Laura Pirovano. For the 23-year-old from Spiazzo Rendena it will be the home races. "It is a great opportunity and I hope that Val di Fassa will become a fixed stop in the World Cup - the words of Laura, 12th downhill at the World Championships - I am sure that there will be a quality organization, as regards the track for us women it is very technical. There are many steps on the steep, blind spots, bumps.
It's not a trivial track and I'm happy with that. You will need to know how to ski. I particularly like the final wall, to be interpreted in the best way to maintain speed in the final stretch ”.
With the test challenge between Elena Dolmen, Giulia Albano, Federica Sosio and Teresa Runggaldier, who will select for the two remaining places available to Italy in each race, "La VolatA" has been polished thanks to the great work of preparation of these weeks carried out by the staff coordinated by race directors Rainer Senoner and Cesare Pastore. "It is not a very long track, but it is particularly technical - highlighted the director of the Women's World Cup, Peter Gerdol - but it contains all the important elements for a speed race, from the flat to the jump, to the steepest part, to the counter slopes. .
Absolute level athletes will certainly win ”. For the Val di Fassa - after thirty years of chasing started with Alberto Tomba testimonial, the 20 editions of the European Cup, the junior world championships and the "Piste Azzurre" project that has continued since 2006, but also with four winning athletes in the Mondo (Weiss, Costazza, Deville and Gross) - is ready to open a new page of a book that hopes to have an important foliation in the coming years. But also an important television and media visibility in a very difficult season for the snow sector all over the world.
