Contrary to what it should in the women's field, with many protagonists to fight for the overall World Cup, in the men's field because of & rsquo; injury Aksel Lund Svindal the road seems gi & agrave; esplanade for Marcel Hirscher.

L & rsquo; Austrian pointing clearly to the poker consecutive victories Crystal Ball absolute undertaking that among men & egrave; never managed to anyone (even if Ingemar Stenmark would have won at least six in a row instead of three if the FIS had not changed the rules to prevent it) and among women only to the legendary Annemarie Moser-Pr & ouml, ll. The main opponent of Hirscher, Svindal, who in the last nine seasons to eight times was always reached at least the first four, with so much triumph in 2007 and 2009 and with the & rsquo; exception of & rsquo; winter 2007-2008 in which infortun & ograve; seriously in Beaver Creek, & egrave; out of action, although he still holds a glimmer of hope turned to at least be present at the World Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek. But even if the tendon rupture d & rsquo; Achille & egrave; only partial it is very difficult if not prohibitive.
L & rsquo; main opponent of Hirscher for winning the Cup becomes cos & igrave; Alexis Pinturault. The French & egrave; called a step further but will have agrave &; have a very high consistency of performance throughout l & rsquo; whole season if you really'll want & agrave; coppona snatch from the hands of Hirscher. Ted Ligety aims to reconfirm the absolute master of the giant but for the FIFA general & egrave; a & rsquo; another story: the American & egrave; an alien in a specialty & agrave; but not & egrave; never been able to make a serious assault on the trophy ever since its gaps in slalom increase over the years and that the speed & agrave; lacks continuity & agrave ;.
The others seem clearly out of the question unless l & rsquo; honor to house Norway is not taken up by Kjetil Jansrud, inventatosi sprinter in recent seasons but far from his best performance in giant, or by Henrik Kristoffersen, enormous talent of the technical disciplines in which it appears currently as the true heir of Hirscher. Too many unknowns about Carlo Janka and Beat Feuz although both aim to get back at the top: the first & egrave; was the winner of the Cup in 2010, l & rsquo; & other egrave; was second in 2012.
Staying home in Switzerland, will shoot & agrave; probably his last cartridges Didier Defago, cos & igrave; like his contemporary Bode Miller, who, as the whole team American male and female, punter & agrave; especially on the World Cup at home in Vail / Beaver Creek. Two of those who may aspire to a good position in the overall standings, the Olympic champion in downhill Matthias Mayer and Felix Neureuther, will not be competing at S & ouml; Sölden, the first for a knee injury, the second to back pain.
Let us now see what may be the ambitions of & rsquo; Italian. The team of technical disciplines has suffered two serious injuries that leave out all season l & rsquo; expert Manfred Moelgg, who in his best seasons was the consistency of performance personified, and the baby Alex Zingerle. Therefore in giant we must cling to Senators Max Blardone and Davide Simoncelli and their desire to continue to fight against opponents, the physical ailments and new skis never fully digested mainly from Max (who & ograve; quest & rsquo; year has changed materials), and young De Luca hopes Aliprandini and Roberto Nani, not to mention John Borsotti, whose progress was interrupted by a serious accident.
In slalom expects long been a sign of life by convincing Giuliano Razzoli and even after all Cristian Deville, Patrick Thaler instead loaded from the birth of twins and a veteran of his best season in 36 years points to the coin, in this worldwide case, that not egrave &; ever managed to see even up close. Eye to the young Riccardo Giordano Ronci and Tonetti. Regarding the sector speed & agrave ;, must be said that Matteo Marsaglia and Mattia Casse quest & rsquo; summer were aggregated to the group of technical disciplines and c & rsquo; & egrave; to verify their feeling from the poles wide from the outset, on the Rettenbach, even though he can do well in the course of the season in super-G, where Marsaglia has even won two years ago at Beaver Creek.
Having said that Silvano Varettoni and Siegmar Klotz seem a step below than their comrades who will say now, the tips of the & rsquo; Italjet remain Werner Heel, Peter Fill, Christof Innerhofer and Dominik Paris. Heel & egrave by his own admission; cooked out last winter and took the opportunity to recharge the batteries by attaching itself to his companions flew to Argentina: its season & egrave; a & rsquo; unknown, we expect to Fill the usual winter alas no peaks sensational (but if they were to arrive, meaning victory or World Championship medals, they would be welcome!) but still of good quality.
Inner continues to struggle against his back that d & agrave; little respite but still our man from the great events par excellence having gi & agrave; collected a gold, a silver and a bronze and a world silver and one bronze Olympic: Needless to say, Vail / Beaver Creek &'ll want agrave; confirmed on a track plus matching its characteristics. Cos & igrave; how to naturally'll want & agrave; return to pi & ugrave; high levels Dominik Paris, which will have agrave &; defend l & rsquo; silver medal in downhill in Schladming 2013 L & rsquo; South Tyrolean & egrave; back from a season that began with great success at Lake Louise (l & rsquo; single whole team Italian Alpine Ski World Cup men's and women last winter) but then & egrave; was influenced heavily by the nasty fall in the trials of Val Gardena fault which egrave &; came not in optimal conditions at the Games in Sochi.
