The great night on the eve of the most beautiful challenge for a slalom rider wearing blue, which began with the drawing of the bibs in Piazza Sissi, in the heart of Madonna di Campiglio, and the hostess Laura Pirovano, exceptional godmother .
Everything is ready for the 68th edition of 3Tre, the slalom that is legend and will propose, on Wednesday evening, the second slalom of the World Cup season on the slope of the Canalone Miramonti, in front of the eyes of Alberto Tomba and Marc Girardelli, super guests of the '' Trentino event.
After the closed-door race of 2020, there will be the return of the public, albeit contingent on the presence of 3000 spectators for the show under the lights of the spotlights, from the first heat scheduled at 5.45 pm (live on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport ), with Swedish tracing before the second, starting at 8.45 pm based on the design of the Aosta Valley coach Matteo Joris, who leads the Swiss national team.
The contest will be opened by Alexis Pinturault, bib number 1 to cancel the disaster of the two giants on the Gran Risa who further distanced him from Marco Odermatt and the other opponents for the general cup. Zenhaeusern, still not at the top physically, will start with 2 before Sebastian Foss-Solevaag (3), who dominated the first heat last year and then finished second behind a furious Henrik Kristoffersen, who will follow his compatriot in the startlist and will go in search of poker on his favorite track (together with the Planai in Schladming), after having lived two days of the highest level in Alta Badia, returning to exult even in the giant.
Everyone's favorite, looking for the first victory in Campiglio and the conquest of the “Maglia Fulmine”, is certainly Clément Noel, dominant in Val d''Isère and tomorrow at the gate for fifth. After the Frenchman, we will see how much Marco Schwarz will have grown after the return in extremis for Val d''Isère, he who has always done very well on the Miramonti gully, and in closing the first sub-group again Austria with the show guaranteed by Manuel Feller, who in the opening on the “Face” he left the stage in the decisive heat, but he is really in great condition not only in the giant.
Muffat-Jeandet, Strasser, Jakobsen (first podium in CdM in Val d''Isère), Ryding and the two-time winner in Campiglio, Daniel Yule, will precede Michael Matt (comb 13) and above all Alex Vinatzer, who caught the 14 to go hunting for the podium-bis after the third place in 2020. The leader of the blue group is spring loaded, fresh from the mockery of Val d''Isère but in super shape and with a particular feeling with the 3Tre, who Italy has not conquered since 2005 (Giorgio Rocca); seven blues at the start, with Manfred Moelgg bib 19, Stefano Gross with 25 and Giuliano Razzoli (26), best Italian in the first seasonal slalom with a nice 9th place, before Maurberger, starting with 32, Tommaso Sala (37 , fresh from his best career in Val d''Isère) and the absolute rookie in the World Cup, the twenty-year-old Tommaso Saccardi from Parma who will show up with bib number 66 out of the 69 starters.
Attention to 46, the Norwegian Alexander Steen Olsen, already seen in the World Cup four times in the final of last season, but only once in slalom: the 2001 class won in Obereggen and finished second the next day, beaten only by Clément Noel in Pozza di Fassa, in the first two European Cup matches.
