It closes in Panorama, for the grand finale of the junior world championships that have already given so many joys to the blue colors, albeit only from the men's sector (even if Annette Belfrond's 5th place in slalom is a really good sign). The last with Filippo Della Vite, second in the giant of Alexander Steen Olsen, who will start today as a great favorite for the encore in slalom: the twenty-year-old Norwegian, in fact, has already won twice in the European Cup and on his condition there is little doubt. First run at 5.00 pm Italian (9.00 local time), the second at 20.00, with the Austrians Pramstaller and Sturm to open the startlist, while before Steen Olsen with the number 7, there will be Tommaso Saccardi (n ° 6) as best blue medal card. The young man from Parma, who made his debut this year in CdM, played a decent giant and bets very strongly on his specialty, but also Gianlorenzo Di Paolo, who will start for ninth, can do very well considering his growth in the season. High numbers instead for Marco Abbruzzese (49) and Simon Talacci (60), we will not see instead at the Della Vite gate. At 6.45 pm, the first round of the female giant will start (at 9.15 pm the 2nd) that promises sparks and, also in this case, there will be an attempt by Zrinka Ljutic, dominant yesterday in slalom and perhaps with even more margin between the wide doors. The 2004 Croatian class has caught the number 1 again, but will have to look first and foremost from the Canadians Richardson (n ° 2) and Gray (15), as well as from Emma Aicher, yesterday second silver in this world championship, starting with 3 before Lisa Nyberg, the Swedish daughter of very dangerous art and also a winner in the European Cup a few weeks ago. From number 10 to 13 a series of Austrians not to be underestimated, we are talking about Olivier, Egger, Salzgeber and Waldauf, then here are the blue who, at least in the forecasts, start a step below the favorites for medals. With the 16 here is Annette Belfrond, fresh from a great slalom that disappointed Sophie Mathiou instead, today with the number 20. Then with the 35 Beatrice Sola, who will also try to test herself in giant, with the 42 Vicky Bernardi and finally with the bib 51 Alice Calaba, who took part in all races (apart from team events).
