And in Soelden everything is already ready for the opening with the female giant on Saturday 26 October and the male one on Sunday 27 (both tests with heats scheduled at 10 and 13). As expected, given that this year there were no particular problems with rainfall and weather conditions, today FIS gave the go-ahead to the races: "The preparation of the slopes took a long time, but fortunately we had good temperatures for the snow and at the moment we have a very good situation for the training of the teams. Now we will work with water to create ideal race conditions, "said Isidor Gruener, who carried out the inspection together with the FIS Race Director, Markus Mayr. And just between today and tomorrow, even the giant national team is testing the Rettenbach: there are 8 men of the manager coach Roberto Saracco, who will be able to deploy only 7 as the nominal place won by Andrea Ballerin has gone into .. smoking, due to the accident suffered by the Trentino in recent days in Saas-Fee. Moelgg, De Aliprandini, Tonetti, Maurberger and Dominik Paris are certain of the place and have chosen to join the group for this debut, while the last two bibs Giulio Bosca, Hannes Zingerle and Giovanni Borsotti will be played. Instead, the ten blue girls among whom eight will be chosen for the first official will go up to the Oetztal town this evening (to train on the glacier on Friday and Saturday morning). The eight girls will be chosen for the first official: we will certainly have Goggia, Brignone, Bassino, Marsaglia and Melesi, who won the permanent position, but Karoline Pichler and Laura Pirovano are almost certain, with Irene Curtoni and Roberta Midali for the last bib, with Lara Della Mea who will train with her companions team, but will make his season debut in the Levi slalom.
