VAL D'ISERE'' (France) - Getting ready on the Oreiller-Killy, after the third time trial canceled "due to snow," ahead of the fourth season of the downhill World Cup women from 2013 to 2014. The forecasts are not beautiful, a bit of snow'' is announced, however, and could be felt even by breathing the wind is from the south at this time. Lindsey Vonn arrived in Savoy with Tiger Woods in tow, she refused to meet the press before the race (it will only after the descent) and was holed up in his starbus.

Here we are in a really classic appointment with the World Cup Alpine skiing, or Val d'' Isere, France. A with a few holes here and there, between all disciplines and on different tracks, it is still competed in the French Savoie since 1970. Val d'' Isere is a French commune of 1,643 inhabitants situated in the Savoie department, part (along with Tignes) of a very important mountainous area is a tourist destination and sports called Espace Killy, which regularly hosts skiing competitions.
Fourth Cup downhill, until it went like this:
Beaver Creek: Lara Gut, Tina Weirather 2a, 3a Elena Fanchini.
Lake Louise 1: Riesch, Marianne Abderhalden 2a, 3a Elena Fanchini
Lake Louise 2: Riesch, Tina Weirather 2a, 3rd Anna Fenninger
Lara Gut won a year ago, popping up out of the fog (which she did not find), while Maria Riesch, the fastest in the first time trial, here has never actually done well, although she loved the track and not a little . Lindsey Vonn seems even objectively ready to win and have her boyfriend to give her the next charge. In the two tests have shone Riesch, Fenninger, Vonn, Maze, Weirather and Ruiz Castillo. Nadia and Elena Fanchini were eighth and tenth respectively in the first.
THE TRACK
It's called Oreiller-Killy (OK), we start from an altitude of 2.580m to 1.810m get to, with a vertical drop of 770m. The maximum gradient is 65%, at least 12%, average 32%. There are three jumps, a compression, the gradients are not exceptional, but in general it is a path full and interesting for women, no doubt.
Here is the description of Verena Stuffer, as always, we thank:
Here's the race track:
Here you will find some beautiful picture on the races last year, including men and women, with the ballet on the podium Lara Gut absolutely not to be missed ....

Even for the girls before the race valid for the crystal ball was a giant. The first descent was disputed December 19, 1970, since then, followed by additional 26. Lindsey Vonn, who falls to the contests right here in Europe, has won three of the last five descended on the Oreiller-Killy, the first two when she was still Miss Kildow, as she won three times in the two specialties that were bitter rivals in the seventies ,'' the Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll and the Swiss Marie Therese Nadig.
