Today the first tests with the Carinthian on the track on the Friulian snow (pay attention to Franzoso, best time) to collect fundamental FIS points to be able to compete in the Olympic combined, while the New Zealander is already very fast in France, where Zanoner and Gasslitter are very competitive. Meanwhile, Asja Zenere returns to win in the FIS giant of La Thuile.

A very rich week, between tests and races, for the European Cup which comes to life between Tarvisio and Orcieres-Merlette.
In the Friulian town, two men's descents will be staged, Thursday 13 and Friday 14, and today's first training (tomorrow the encore) today sees Matteo Franzoso be the fastest, with 43 cents of margin over the Canadian Kyle Alexander and 45 over the young Swiss Von Allmen, while Nicolò Molteni is 15th and Federico Paini 19th. And in 38th place, with the need to compete to get FIS points required to be able to take part (among the favorites) in the Olympic combined in Beijing, since there will be no specialty tests in the World Cup, here is Marco Schwarz.
Big names also in Orcieres-Merlette, for the long French appointment dedicated to girls, with two descents between Wednesday and Thursday and then double giant on Saturday and Sunday. Alice Robinson is increasingly committed to speed (who on Sunday could do very well in the CdM super-g in Zauchensee, she already fourth in Sankt Moritz), who today set the best time in the first of two races held within a few hours. The top blue also did very well, with Monica Zanoner fourth and Verena Gasslitter sixth in the first training, before the Fassana and the Alto Adige placed second and third, preceded only by Christina Ager, in the second training (where Robinson finished eighth) .
Meanwhile, in the FIS giant of La Thuile she returned to success: the Vicenza, again forced to deal with an injury in the pre-season, clearly won the race on the Valle d'Aosta snow, ahead of Carlotta Saracco by 49 cents and the Canadian by 61. Britt Richardson. There will be a slalom on Wednesday.
For Simon Talacci, on the other hand, comes a third place in the FIS giant of Kranjska Gora, preceded by the Japanese Hayata Wakatsuki and the Czech Ondrej Berndt.
