A World Cup hostage to the weather, for a Saturday of passion with two historical descents of the circuit that risk cancellation, but have already been mutilated in their original layout.
In Val Gardena, after yesterday's ordeal of the super-g, today the Saslong is in similar conditions for the queen race, but it has also snowed a lot in the upper part, with humidity and again fog and rain in the lower part. For this, Markus Waldner has already opted for the further lowering of the start, i.e. at the original start of the super-g (yesterday it started even further), but the recognition of the athletes has been delayed and it will be difficult to respect the race time set at 11.45 for the first athlete at the starting gate.
Critical situation also in Val d''Isère for the girls, with a lot of snow fallen since yesterday: the descent on the Oreiller-Killy had already been shortened by almost a third, reduced to 1''15 "of the race, but the weather does not help and to better clean the track and make it safe, it was decided to postpone the race by two hours, from 10.30 to 12.30 decided in the current state of things.
LIVE with NEVEITALIA, we will keep you constantly updated on the weather evolution and the decisions of FIS and organizers.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
