A real highlander, otherwise the usual difficulties of a team in crisis.
Already halfway through the race, an initial assessment can be made of the seventh slalom season for the blue team, already without Federico Liberatore stopped by back pain, and with only two men qualified for the decisive heat on the Schladming Planai, scheduled from 8.45 pm .
Outside Razzoli, Maurberger and Kastlunger who tonight returned to wear a bib in the cup (his first set was good), no top 30 for Tommy Sala, Stefano Gross with the 18th time, great Manfred Moelgg who sets the seventh time starting with number 23 and can really dream of giving the men's national team the third podium of the season, sailing 32 cents from the current third place occupied by Michi Matt.
On the other hand, Alex Vinatzer's crisis continues: after four consecutive zeros due to exits in the first heat (three times) and in the second of appointment number 2 in Flachau, this time the Gardena remains out of thirty, making a mistake on the wall but, in reality, never showing the speed and safety that now seemed certainty, with those two sensational results between Badia and Campiglio. "A bad heat, right from the top - explained the 21-year-old Italian to Ettore Giovannelli (Rai Sport), after finishing 32nd at 3" 05 from Feller - I have to find the feeling, doing it in a week is difficult with all the races neighbors, now we need training and a little patience.
I thought I had found the problem, but obviously my head is blocked, it had never happened to me and I'm not as lucid as I would like ”. A few weeks after the world race in Cortina, with the second merit sub-group now at high risk, signals that are anything but good.

Dall'Austria fanno sapere che al neo presidente Ospelt era stato indicato parere sfavorevole, pur rendendosi disponibili per la rassegna iridata a St. Anton nel 2033, in data classica.
