Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

After today's cancellation, forecasts should lend a hand to dispute at least one descent, while the situation for Sunday's super-g could be critical. Recovery today? Possible already next week on the Birds of Prey, the words of the chief race director of the men's cup.

Lake Louise's return to the World Cup, two years after the last speed races held on the Men''s Olympic Downhill, was certainly not lucky.
At least 25 cm of fresh snow that fell the night before the first of the two men's descents on the program blew up the organization''s plans, advising Markus Waldner to send everyone back to the hotel well in advance. The explanation was provided by the experienced South Tyrolean executive himself, as Rai Sport reported in the evening. “There have been great accumulations and it will start snowing again, so we preferred to think about planning tomorrow's race, when the weather is improving.
It was unthinkable to postpone this descent for hours, even if obviously we are always sad when a race is canceled. Recovery? Possible in Beaver Creek ”.
In fact, the possibility of inserting another race in the already rich program of next week in Colorado is emerging: on the "Birds of Prey" two super-gs are scheduled, Friday 3 and Sunday 5 December, with a descent on Saturday 4 Considering that there would be three races scheduled from November 30 to December 2, the possibility of extending the race weekend exists, while taking into account the risks associated with the fatigue of four consecutive days of official competitions for the same athletes.
Returning to Lake Louise, some criticisms related to the few volunteers present on the track to keep the race track clean emerged from many sides, also from the voice of the head of the speed sector of Austria, Sepp Brunner. In any case, Saturday will be attempted with greater hope, while there are more concrete risks for the super-g on Sunday, given that forecasts indicate rising temperatures and rain in the Alberta resort.
We'll see.

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.
