European Cup: women defeated by the weather in Andalo, the super-g of Altenmarkt rewards Haaser

No second giant in Paganella due to high temperatures, while in Austria the hosts scored twice with Franzoni losing a possible podium in the last seconds of the race, closing out of the top ten like Cazzaniga and Schieder.

Nothing to do for the women's European Cup, which is experiencing a real ordeal in terms of the calendar, to complete the two days of competitions in Paganella. In Andalo, in fact, today it was not possible to compete in the second giant planned on the "Olimpionica 2", definitively canceled (after a postponement until 11.00 for the first heat) due to the high temperatures and a lot of humidity that made the surface dangerous . 2020 therefore ends with yesterday's success signed by Mina Fuerst Holtmann, in the third round of the season between wide doors and fifth race ever on the continental circuit for women, who will restart on January 4-5 from Zinal with the first two super -g of this European Cup. The first of the two super-gs scheduled at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, the second seasonal appointment in the men's sector, was regularly staged with an Austrian brace on the home snow. Raphael Haaser, already winner in the first of the two giants of Gurgl, has taken everything: second success of the year, 4th in his career at the CE level and third in super-g, as well as the top of the general classification (where he already concluded 2nd behind McGrath in 2019/2020) overtaking compatriot Lahnsteiner. Another Wunderteam standard bearer, Daniel Hemetsberger, finished in second place just 19 cents from his teammate, then the void with Roy Piccard still very good, with bib 37, to enter third at 68 cents, 7 less than Stefan Rogentin , who leads the Swiss trio from fourth to sixth with Weber and Roulin behind him. With the 12th place of Mathieu Faivre to report, while returning from the Gran Risa and from the first podium in the World Cup, Justin Murisier also entered the race, however he left the scene, here is that behind the Frenchman the first three Azzurri concluded , the most anticipated for these two Austrian races. Giovanni Franzoni made a fatal mistake in the final stretch, losing those tenths that most likely would have brought him to the podium, for a 13th place at 1 "16 from Haaser who does not do justice to the Brescia man, who was also running from '' Alta Badia to the Zauchensee area to play two very important competitions. Followed by Davide Cazzaniga, 14th, and Florian Schieder, already 4th in the downhill in Santa Caterina and today 15th
