Norway launches the Braathen phenomenon also in slalom: debut in Val d''Is re for the 2000 class

The squad in the Scandinavian home, with Kristoffersen and Nestvold-Haugen back from the giant double in Beaver Creek. Germany bets on red bib Rebensburg in Sankt Moritz.

Provided that everything goes in the right direction, that is, asking for clemency in the weather direction Val d''Isère, Saturday in the slalom on the Face de Bellevarde will make its debut among the narrow poles, at the level of the World Cup, the phenomenal Lucas Braathen that Norway has definitively launched during this season. After the 6th place in Soelden and the 15th in Beaver Creek, in the first two seasonal giants, the 2000 class that is impressing everyone among the wide doors, will be able to play its chances (albeit with a very high number) even in slalom, where he has already made sparks in the European Cup with a second frightening heat in Funesdalen's slalom bis, the one won by Tommaso Sala to speak. Steve Skavik has therefore chosen, for the second seasonal appointment of specialties, in addition to Braathen and of course the leader Henrik Kristoffersen, five other men: Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen, Sebastian Foss Solevaag, Jonathan Nordbotten, Timon Haugan and Bjoern Brudevoll. For the giant on Sunday, five athletes competing with Kristoffersen, Nestvold-Haugen (both on the podium in the last race of Beaver Creek), Braathen, Rasmus Windingstad and Fabian Wilkens Solheim, winner of the two European Cup giants in Trysil. As for the women's sector engaged in Sankt Moritz, in Saturday's super-g we will only see Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, increasingly dangerous especially downhill, while in the parallel slalom Norway will have five athletes, with Nina Haver-Loeseth, Kristin Lysdahl, Thea Louise Stjernesund, Mina Fuerst Holtmann and Maren Skjoeld. CASA GERMANY Germany will not have the injured Linus Strasser for the Val d''Isère slalom, who fractured the scaphoid of his right hand last week and, as is known, will remain in the pits for a total of six weeks. In competition then four men, with Fritz Dopfer called to give a signal, together with David Ketterer, Sebastian Holzmann and Dominik Stehle. In giant, instead, in addition to Stefan Luitz designated captain (fresh from the exit of Beaver Creek) there will be only Bastian Meisen (positive in the European Cup) and Alexander Schmid. German women for Sankt Moritz, on the other hand, will be six on Saturday's super-g, led by the red bib Viktoria Rebensburg, with Weidle, Wenig, Hronek, Dorsch and Hirtl-Stanggassinger. The parallel slalom on Sunday, will see five athletes in the race, with Christina Ackermann and Lena Duerr who are two excellent references in the specialty, flanked by Jessica Hilzinger (winner of the first two slalom in the European Cup), Marina Wallner and Marlene Schmotz.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico

Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
