It is a decidedly complicated situation, the one that Markus Waldner for the men's sector and Peter Gerdol for the women's one, find themselves having to face with regard to the weather that does not give respite at the Lenzerheide finals.
The downhill tests scheduled for today have already been canceled in advance, and those of tomorrow are also strongly at risk, given that there is still snow and little better will go on Wednesday and Thursday, the days for fast races which, of course, are the most difficult ones to do. dispute, but they are decisive for the assignment of all the cups (except for that of the women's super-g, already in the hands of Lara Gut-Behrami).
This afternoon double meeting of the captains, at 17.00 for women and at 18.00 for men, remembering that the program of the competitions cannot be changed by regulation, with the male descent at 9.30 on Wednesday and the female one at 11.00 (same times for the super-g the next day, but with the girls on the track before the colleagues).
And among the seven blue awaited on the track for the descent, there will also be Marta Bassino (thanks to the points in the general, not being part of the top 25 descent), who has decided to compete in all the races of these finals, including the slalom of Saturday which could be useful, in case of placement in the 15, to climb into the specialty WCSL and return in the next season among the top thirty, with the possibility at that point to leave immediately after fifteen. "In Lenzerheide I will be able to ski with a light heart, especially in giants - explained the Cuneo-based winner of her first crystal ball, interviewed last night at the" Domenica Sportiva "after the training session in Livigno - I actually faced the whole season thinking about race after race, then it is clear that as I approached the cup I thought about it, but I didn't make any calculations ”.
And on the return of Sofia Goggia, the thought of “Bax” is clear: “I am happy first of all to have her back among us and, if she has decided so, it means that she can do it. He deserves the downhill cup. My post World Cup? I really think of competing in the Italian championships in Livigno, then we hope to have the chance to have some nice training days to test the materials ".
