Austria finds an important man after the Zagreb package. "Today I didn't feel pain." At 19.00 extraction of the bibs in Piazza Sissi.

It is an important recovery, a few hours from one of the most anticipated races of the season. Not only for Italy, but also for all the top slalom teams in the world, including Austria: the Wunderteam, which has not yet placed an athlete on the podium in the first three seasonal specialties, will also have Christian Hirschbuehl on the 3Tre. The 29 year old from Bregenz dissolved the reserve after today's training in Madonna di Campiglio: “I skied freely, without feeling any discomfort. With technicians and physio, we decided to return to the race, "he explained after having to give up the slalom last Sunday in Zagreb, since 24 hours earlier he had suffered an injury between the adductor and the groin area during the finishing in Lienz. An important news, that of the return of Hirschbuehl, given that it is an athlete belonging to the second sub-group of merit; Alex Vinatzer, instead of starting just out of 15, climbs to 17th place in WCSL, with a bib that is definitely better than the 26 in Zagreb, which has not prevented him from taking his first career podium anyway. The Austrian line-up will be completed by Manuel Feller, Michael Matt, Marco Schwarz, Fabio Gstrein (first points in the World Cup on Sljeme), Marc Digruber, Johannes Strolz and Adrian Pertl, in light in the European Cup slaloms in Vaujany.
