La Gran Risa ready to welcome the successor of Hirscher: on 22-23 December the two days in Alta Badia

Snow control ok and training of young blue and a certain ... Alice Robinson. The queen's giant track is at the top.

After the appointment of Val d''Isère, halved due to weather, the men's World Cup will begin its Italian mini tour (and there are also the great European Cup events), from Val Gardena to Bormio. In the middle, the heart of the white circus will beat on the Gran Risa of Alta Badia, where on Sunday 22 December the most difficult giant in the world will be staged, while on the evening of Monday there will be the fifth edition of the parallel giant, with the novelty of the qualification scheduled for the afternoon (starting at 15), followed by the final phase at 6.15 pm. The highlight is clearly represented by the Sunday race (scheduled to take place at 10 and 13), which this year will have to find a new master after the retirement of Marcel Hirscher, who won the last six times in a row on the Gran Risa. The FIS has officially given the green light to the two Ladin days, where in the last few days a certain Alice Robinson has trained, in preparation for the giant on Tuesday 17 in Courchevel, in addition to the young C team, led by another champion that track knows it well and has tamed it three times, or Max Blardone.
