Marcel Hirscher goes for pokerissimo consecutive legendary

If the World Cup women & egrave; open to any result, the male has Marcel Hirscher its absolute master, which threatens to monopolize it for the fifth consecutive year, a & rsquo; enterprise made in the past only by a woman, also a & rsquo; it Austrian Annemarie Pr & ouml; ll, between 1971 and 1975.

If the 26 year old will continue the Salzburg & agrave; to maintain its stratospheric performance in giant slalom and let & agrave; forays winning the super-G and combined does not show who might oppose it. There would be the two Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, who returns to full capacity, and Kjetil Jansrud, but if they're going strong both in the speed disciplines will steal points from each other, so aim for the big target will become & agrave; for them even more & ugrave; difficult than it already & agrave; not both. There would be but the Frenchman Alexis Pinturault, waited at least two years in a further leap in quality & agrave ;, can not perform it: it has not yet acquired the continuity & agrave; needed to be a credible candidate to the crystal ball absolute. There would also be Ted Ligety but the US would not be enough to dominate even in the giant as it did until two years ago. If someone else's insertion in the fight, maybe Matthias Mayer, between the & rsquo; another absent in S & ouml; Sölden, or as Carlo Janka, who had many physical hardships in recent years, would be a big surprise. Beat Feuz not count because even if andr & agrave; well, will return & agrave; race in Wengen. As for the & rsquo; Italy, except perhaps in giant (which by women instead & egrave; the specialty & agrave; in which, we repeat again, they expect the best results from our standard bearer), the Blues are in a position to get on podium or win in every race. The cutting edge in speed & agrave; sar & agrave; still Dominik Paris, with Christof Innerhofer (which IS finally trained without problems) & amp; C. followed by Stephen Gross and Giuliano Razzoli are called to be confirmed between the narrow doors and among those broad Roberto Nani and Luca De Alpirandini try to center the first podium. And who knows & agrave; that a veteran like Max Blardone not find himself or that Manfred Moelgg not you place a few of his paw.
