There is not even time to breathe, after today's eternal day with a super-g lasting almost 4 hours, that jet men will have to dive back on the Saslong, for the descent of Val Gardena which, weather permitting, will close a decidedly complicated two days for the third speed event of the season.
The real unknown for the great challenge scheduled for Saturday, with start at 11.45 am (it will not start from the top anyway, having played only one training with shortened distance of just over 150 meters), is that linked to the conditions that will be found tomorrow Paris, Feuz and associates, given that snow is expected and the conditions of the land must be properly assessed, today already worked a lot with fog and humidity to lord it.
Controversy aside, the Saslong show is highly anticipated and will be inaugurated by the American Bennett, for a block of the top 20 in the world that is well distributed with regard to the most anticipated men, given that Mayer will have the 3, Jansrud (best time in practice 5), Kriechmayr winner today with 9, while Dressen and Feuz will start for 13th and 15th, before a Dominik Paris that has played the number 17, to precede Steven Nyman, drawn with 18 and always very dangerous in these parts, and of the last year's winner Kilde (19). Eight blues in the race: 22 for Fill, 23 Buzzi, 26 Marsaglia, 34 Casse, 47 Cazzaniga, 53 Battilani and 60 for Guglielmo Bosca's return to the World Cup.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
