A first day that opens with a bang the appointment of the Paralympic Ski World Cup, on the snows of Prato Nevoso for the only Italian stage of the season. Italy was immediately the protagonist with Giacomo Bertagnolli, multi-medal blue champion who triumphed in the vision impaired category together with his guide Andrea Ravelli; behind them, the Slovaks Haraus-Hudik and Australia with Jensen-Hodgson. In the sitting category, the Norwegian Jesper Pedersen had the upper hand, who beat the Dutch Jeroen Kampschreur and the Japanese Takeshi Suzuki. Success also for the Finnish Santeri Kiiveri, in this case in the standing position, ahead of the Austrian Nico Pajantschitsch and the Russian Alexander Alyabyev. In terms of women's races, the highest step of the podium in the vision impaired for the Austrian Veronika and Elisabeth Aigner, ahead of the British Fitzpatrick-Smith and Germany with Ristau-Brenzel. In standing, the Chinese Zhang triumphs, followed by the German Rieder and the Russian Voronchikhina. Another Chinese hurray in the sitting with Liu, which surpasses the Japanese Tanaka and the Dutch Van Bergen. And tomorrow we continue with the second race and the collateral events, such as the â€œLet's tell our mountainsâ€ altitude event scheduled in the afternoon, after the awards ceremony, at the Baita del Rosso with free ascent on the brand new Rosso cable car.
