Fourth giant of the World Cup: halfway through the race there is the Frenchwoman in front of everyone, but the Swede impresses like Mowinckel, then there is Vlhova. Bassino pays 82 cents, Brignone over the second and Goggia too will have to make the comeback at least for the top ten.

A difficult first heat for the blue, right on the "friendly" track designed by Daniele Simoncelli, in the giant of Lienz that sees Tessa Worley in command waiting for the decisive run scheduled at 13.00.
Without Mikaela Shiffrin and Lara Gut-Behrami (but also Maryna Gasienica-Daniel, twice sixth in Courchevel), the two-time world champion takes the stage, at least for now, still looking for the first podium of the season, but she really does Sara Hector was afraid, in a stellar condition and second only 12 cents from the transalpine, despite an error before the connection leading to the final wall of the “Schlossberg”.
Ragnhild Mowinckel was also applauded, who at least in this 1st heat returns to very high levels even in giant, is third at 29 cents and in full swing like Petra Vlhova (4th to + 0 "41) and Alice Robinson, good fifth at the return with only 45 cents behind, but also Meta Hrovat who after the errors of Courchevel "contains" and turns sixth, 54 cents from Worley.
Behind Mina Fuerst Holtmann (+ 0 "61), there is finally the blue color with Marta Bassino who starts well, pays a lot in the central part and has to settle for the 8th time trial, with 82 cents to recover and 7 of margin on Ramona Siebenhofer, while Federica Brignone, who started with 2 immediately after Worley, finds herself at 1 ”12 without particular errors, but with a lot of difficulty to trust on rough terrain and with little visibility.
Sofia Goggia, on the other hand, will have to come back from the top 15 area, with a 1 ”58 gap and a couple of tenths ahead of Elena Curtoni.
