To begin with all eyes are on the gigantism that on Sunday inaugurate the'' winter 2013-2014 in Sölden. Max Blardone will be 34 years in November, Davide Simoncelli them already made in January but both have trained well during the summer'' and without any major hitches then link to place some of their paw as long as they can find the right feeling with the materials. '' Obviously, the main goal for them is an Olympic medal in Sochi, laurel that they lack so Moelgg Manfred, who, however, after a silver and a bronze in slalom world championship in 2007 and in 2011 won a historic bronze Giant in the recent World Championships in Schladming. But it is back pain, such as periodically happens even with his sister Manuela, Manfred to worry that calls into doubt until the last'' its presence on the Rettenbach glacier, thus the rest of the season can not be yet predict. Signs of growth are expected from Nani and Roberto De Luca ALIPRANDINI and c'' is a lot of curiosity for the return of John Borsotti.
Then, later this month in Lake Louise, will begin the season of sprinters that the'' last year they have behaved as ever in the history of the World Cup had managed to'' Italian speed winning five runs, three with Christof Innerhofer two of them with Dominik Paris, and a super-G with Matteo Marsaglia, as well as the'' silver champion of Paris downhill. The cups of specialty did not come because if it is awarded both Aksel Lund Svindal but our have a duty to try again the'' assault even if repeat last season will be very difficult, even if it has not gone Inner in South America with his comrades and even if others in Chile have been hampered by bad weather and have failed to adequately complete their work program. One thing in our favor'' of Italy is that Paris has only 24 years old and still has a lot of time to spend at the absolute top, at least five more than the other characters bound as Inner, Werner Heel and Peter Fill. Marsaglia is expected to confirm the amazing results of the first few weeks of 2012-13, suffered a sprained knee but small in Lake Louise will be there.
Finally, in mid-November in Levi, debuts on the slalom, which last winter was good but not all'' height than we could expect. Moelgg only managed to get on the podium, third in Adelboden, for the rest of all placements less noble. You will probably see what is the value of Stephen Gross, who to a great season has come to follow a fluctuating, and what will be the seal of thirtysomething Patrick Thaler and Cristian Deville, this'' last'' riassaporerà the atmosphere race in the giant slalom in Sölden. And then there is'' Giuliano Razzoli, Olympic champion in Whistler snow conditions in very specific that could be repeated this year in Sochi'', the'' Emilia has changed materials to last season in progress and c'' is to be hoped his feeling is further increased. Nani is expected to further progress.
A positive message coming from the technical director Claudio Ravetto: having found the track conditions and snow very different during the summer in South America'' our athletes will be ready for any racing situation, as opposed to the traditional skills of skiing on the steep and icy and just as traditional'' s difficult to go fast on the lines with streamers and soft snow. C'' is indeed to be hoped that the blues are really ready for anything, in Sochi c'' is the podium waiting for them too. Good luck guys!
