The World Cup is in full swing and what is about to begin will be a decidedly intense week.
The women will start again on Tuesday with the night slalom of Flachau, but already in the morning the first of the three rehearsals scheduled for Saturday's descent to Wengen will be staged, anticipated on Friday by the combined and followed on Sunday by a slalom prepared in a particular way ... . Considering the difficulties of preparing the track (which will host the second round of the combined on Friday) with the classic snow, since the high temperatures prevent the cannons from "firing", the organization has opted for the transport of snow with the helicopters. It is certainly not the first time, but it says a lot about how in one of the symbolic places of the white circus everything is done to better set up a highly anticipated three-day race.
Classic Swiss followed then the following week by the appointment of the year, or Kitzbuehel: during the weekend the FIS gave the official go-ahead to the races (Friday 24 super-g, Saturday 25 the legendary descent of the Streif, Sunday 26 the slalom on the Ganslern) after carrying out the usual snow check, as well as the OK for the women's tests of Bansko that will be staged on the same days after the next weekend of races in Sestriere.
As known, the girls will already compete in Bulgaria on Friday 24th with the downhill recovery of the one canceled in Val d''Isère and set, as well as for the downhill already planned (with the super-g on Sunday 26th), at 9.45 am Italian time.
