Only two Azzurri qualified for Levi's 2nd round: Manfred can play it, but watch out for the possible comeback of the Gardena ...

The first of the blue slalom, in the new era by Jacques Theolier, gave a couple of excellent tests, but also several regrets for not having qualified more athletes.
Considering the potential of all 9 Italian home players, in fact, only Stefano Gross seemed to be out of condition, as was normal for the few days of training for the 33-year-old from Fassa; only two qualifications, therefore, but of the highest quality with wonderful Manfred Moelgg, 37 years old capable of a 6th place just over two tenths from the podium.
He had said it, "Manny", to feel much better in this specialty than the giant, as has been the trend for the last 2-3 seasons; but also good Alex Vinatzer, 13th with the bib No. 26 and in full run for a possible comeback at least from top ten, which we remember he never got in the World Cup.
Regrets? Responding to the names of Simon Maurberger in the first place, given that the bishop of Valle Aurina was quietly in the running for the very first positions, but he made a serious mistake at the beginning of the wall, ending up over 3 seconds behind Noel when, halfway through, his light was ... green.
And then Giuliano Razzoli and Riccardo Tonetti, who failed to qualify for just 8 cents, but also the falling Tommaso Sala who liked it, but had to settle for 35th place. Further back, after a good start, Fabian Bacher and Federico Liberatore.

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
