At the junior world championships it was the day of the team event and, in the home review in Panorama, it was Canada that triumphed in the team parallel.
Dragged by Cassidy Gray, the North American team also composed of Justine Lamontagne, Etienne Mazellier and Raphael Lessard, bent Magdalena Egger's Austria in the final, to the fourth medal in as many races (2 golds and 2 silvers), while Switzerland has beaten in the challenge for the bronze for the United States.
Italy was expected to be the protagonist, with a quality quartet such as the one formed by Beatrice Sola, Annette Belfrond, Filippo Della Vite and Gianlorenzo Di Paolo and, as could be analyzed by seeing the final draw, after the comfortable 4-0 in the second round with Slovakia, the fourth against the hosts was just the toughest obstacle. It was a battle, with the final 2-2 and the success of the two blue men that was not enough for just 8 cents in the total count.
A pity, but for Italy the penultimate day of this world championship, which today includes the male giant and the female slalom, is perhaps the most interesting of all, although four medals have already arrived.
It will start tonight, from 17.00 with the 1st heat (the 2nd is scheduled at 20.15), with the challenge between the narrow poles of the girls: the main favorites are Rosa Pohjolainen and Emma Aicher, who will start with numbers 2 and 3 after Zrinka Ljutic, the very young Croatian who will try to enter the fight like the Swedes Bostroem Mussener and Ceder. The reigning champion, although returning from a not exceptional season, is our Sophie Mathiou who will start for the tenth, before the French Marie Lamure (n ° 12), gold in combined and very dangerous, Magdalena Egger with 14 and Beatrice Sola, bib 15 and with many ambitions given what has been done in the winter that is ending. For the blue team, Annette Belfrond (n ° 18) and Alice Calaba (38) are also competing.
Following the male giant (at 6.15 pm and 9.30 pm the two heats), with the Norwegian Alexander Steen Olsen, even more competitive in slalom but also fearful in giant, who will open the race before Filippo Della Vite, who aims for the maximum result. With the number 3 the American Isaiah Nelson, gold in super-g, then with the 4 Giovanni Franzoni to look for the poker of medals and compare himself as 12 months ago in Bansko with the Austrian Lukas Feurstein (n ° 5), who was d '' gold in Bulgaria in front of the current European Cup leader.
Frenchman Thomas Lardon (bib 6) is another high-quality gigantist, but Joshua Sturm must also be paid attention, with number 10 preceded by Simon Talacci, third of the six blues at the start. In fact, with the 15 we will see Gianlorenzo Di Paolo, with the 50 Tommaso Saccardi and the 55 Marco Abbruzzese, splendid silver combined.
