Norway with a scary sextet in Campiglio, Noel leads France to erase the shock of a year ago

Kristoffersen, three times king on the Canalone Miramonti, together with the red bib Braathen, the last winner Foss-Solevaag and McGrath himself for Thursday's classic. Transalpine quintet with the Olympic champion in need of redemption.

It will also be a scary Norway that will be presented on Thursday evening in Madonna di Campiglio, on the occasion of the second slalom of the World Cup for the 69th 3Tre. Six athletes, four of which with particular, sensational numbers and in many cases linked to the great Trentino appointment: let's start from a fact, that of the series of five consecutive slalom successes that has lasted since last season's finale, given that the last non-Scandinavian the cup winner was Linus Strasser, on the night of Schladming, burning a norge, Atle Lie McGrath, for 3 cents, who then triumphed twice between Flachau and the finals. In the meantime, Henrik Kristoffersen's double had also arrived in Garmisch, with Lucas Braathen continuing his streak at the beginning of this year, nine days ago in the opening slalom in Val d''Isère. "Pinheiro" then appears on the Canalone Miramonti with the red leader bib, Kristoffersen in turn with three successes in the Campiglio race (2015, 2016, 2020), McGrath with a great desire for redemption also for how the giants fared in Alta Badia , and the last winner in Trentino is the world champion Sebastian Foss-Solevaag. With these four totems, two elements that are anything but to be underestimated such as Timon Haugan and Alexander Steen Olsen are also competing. France will propose a quintet for the night of the 3Tre, with Clément Noel a clear point of reference and with that very bitter memory of 12 months ago when the future Olympic champion lost his "first" on those snows, ending up practically at the last brings. The 25-year-old who has already made a bad start to his dream of the specialty cup, with the fork in Val d''Isère, will be joined by Alexis Pinturault, Victor Muffat-Jeandet, Paco Rassat and Steven Amiez, with the son of art fresh from the victory in the European Cup in Obereggen with subsequent podium also in Pozza di Fassa.
