One out of four races, with the European Cup finals in Austria started with a series of cancellations in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, where the men only played in the super-g, last Saturday, and the women will not see any on stage. speed test.
Downhill and super-g on the Zwoelferkogel were planned between Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18, but also based on the weather forecast and track conditions, everything was canceled in advance by the FIS. Basically, to conclude the season of the continental circuit, only the technical races remain at Reiteralm, with giant and men's slalom between Thursday and Friday, while the girls will compete in the same tests on Saturday and Sunday.
If the general classification at the male level will be assigned in fact with the giant, in an attempt by Raphael Haaser to overtake compatriot Maximilian Lahnsteiner, the female one now sees Andreja Slokar a great favorite. The Slovenian, who did well even in the giant but is a slalom specialist, as demonstrated between the World Cup and the World Championships in Cortina (amazing 5th place), is in fact in the lead with 64 points of margin over Lisa Grill, injured, 68 on the Norwegian Mars Monsen, leader of the giant ranking, and 72 on the German Jessica Hilzinger, certainly the greatest danger being competitive in both technical disciplines.
With the cancellations of Saalbach, the specialty rankings are also definitive: Lisa Grill, who lost the chance to play for the general by seriously injuring her tibia after the winning arrival of the second descent in Santa Caterina Valfurva, had already won the cup of descent and a fixed place, with 280 points in just three races, in a ranking dominated by Austria with Nadine Fest second and Vanessa Nussbaumer third, while in super-g (four races staged) she is a double for Switzerland with Jasmina Suter by only 2 points ahead of Stephanie Jenal, but the Russian Julia Pleshkova also takes the fixed place for the 2021/22 CdM, third after winning her first European Cup race in Val di Fassa. Too bad for KarolinePichler, who was back in the running for the final podium and thus concludes eighth in the specialty.
