Twenty-one days, divided into two blocks with the first fourteen in the first two weeks of June, and the last seven which will end on the 30th of the month, after having returned to the snow last Wednesday. The menu of the female elite group is also that of a Federica Brignone who has a great desire, and at the same time needs after losing all the spring tests, to put several days of skiing in her legs during this period; a complete job that carried out on the snows of the Stelvio, putting also a little parallel and slalom. The defense of the crystal ball will also pass from the races between the narrow posts, but as in the 2019/2020 season, the choice will be to devote only to some slalom, when combined with the giant of the previous day, aiming instead to do again very well in speed . By now the Aosta Valley is a certainty even downhill and has shown it in multiple race contexts, just think of the first career success in the discipline touched at Garmisch (only a great Rebensburg prevented it) after the two podiums in Bansko; if last year he had skipped the first two fast races of Lake Louise (disputing the Sunday super-g instead), it is likely that you can opt to compete already in the Canadian opening, although much will depend on the quality of the previous workouts. Yes, because between August on the alpine glaciers (Zermatt in the first place) and the approach to Soelden, there will be a great deal of "laps" to be made in Ushuaia, given that the blue ones will not fly to South America. At the same time, there can only be doubts about the North American trip, with the two weeks of training at Copper Mountain before the technical races in Killington and, in fact, the triptych of speed in Lake Louise. In any case, the road is traced and it will be versatility, in the sense of dedicating 100% from the giant to the descent (with the combined and the parallels that represent strengths, and how, for the 29 year old from La Salle), to be still decisive for Federica in the fight that, presumably, will see her cross the edges again with Shiffrin, Vlhova and who knows also the other two blue with whom she composes the trio of wonders ...
