Alpine Skiingmen's european cup

Tommy Sala is close to his second podium in giant slalom: he is 5th in Zinal on the day of Simonet's encore

The Brianza, third in the middle of the race of the giant number 2 of the European Cup on the Swiss snow, remains outside the top 3 by 16 cents. The Swiss wins again with two goals from the hosts (Mettler 2nd). Kastlunger is 13th, Vinatzer does not start in the 2nd heat concentrating on the races on the Gran Risa.

A giant bis who still speaks Swiss, for Livio Simonet's brace who celebrates at home in Zinal. Twenty-four hours after his first victory in the European Cup, the young Swiss repeats himself by beating his compatriot Josua Mettler by just 12 cents, who was already second behind him (by two tenths) after the first heat. The podium is completed by another fine talent, the French Leo Anguenot in comeback from eleventh place to close 45 cents from Simonet and leave in 4th place one of the revelations of Zinal's two days, the Australian Harry Laidlaw who finishes in half a second. Tommaso Sala is 16 cents away from taking the second top 3 of his career in a giant on the continental circuit, but the Brianza, third halfway through the race 79 cents from Simonet, still runs a great race and is fifth, 61 cents from winner. Behind him again Switzerland with Bissig and Fischbacher, sixth and seventh, while the second blue in the standings is Tobias Kastlunger, 13th after the eighth place in race-1 yesterday.

Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
