If the first of the two European Cup slaloms, the third and fourth of the season for boys on the continental circuit, had gone far from well for the blue colors, today on the snows of Berchtesgaden the Italian team got some more satisfaction . Federico Liberatore, after the usual physical problems at the beginning of the season, is leveling up (with the aim of returning to the World Cup soon) and the 10th place in the second appointment in Bavaria is important, also because the class' '95 in Val di Fassa finished just 67 cents behind the winner, the British Billy Major (already winner of the slalom ranking last season), second yesterday and today in front of everyone ... by a whisker. The German Fabian Himmelsbach, in fact, recovered 8 tenths in the 2nd heat, finishing second at just 3 hundredths, with the Swiss Joel Luetolf third at + 0 "09, ahead of the Austrian Sturm (who is confirmed after the victory of the first slalom) and to the French Rassat, 4th and 5th respectively. Italy also smiles for Tommaso Saccardi's 17th place (just 93 cents), at the best result of his career in the European Cup, with Matteo Canins 25th and the first points of 2002 Corrado Barbera, at the end 29th. Upcoming European Cup races, for the men's circuit, with the Tarvisio stage returning to the calendar with two descents on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 January (tests start on Tuesday 11), while the women will face the long French appointment of Orcieres-Merlette, with double descent on January 12-13 and also two giants on the weekend, Saturday 15 and Sunday 16.
