Soelden -4, the grand opening of the World Cup is approaching and the various formations for the female giant on Saturday and the male one on Sunday are now defined.
It will be a Germany with few arrows in its bow, but the hope that Stefan Luitz will return at least close to his top levels, starting perhaps from the race on the Rettennach. With him there will be Alexander Schmid, who in Cortina came close to the world medal wasting everything in the 2nd heat, and Julian Rauchfuss (excellent season of the European Cup), while there will be only two girls at the starting gate, namely Andrea Filser and Marlene Schmotz , hopefully fully recovered after the Crusader injury.
The United States will formalize its selections only on the eve, but there are few doubts both as regards the women's group, clearly led by Mikaela Shiffrin and with the possibility that Nina O''Brien (who will start at 15) will surprise again, but also with Paula Moltzan, Keely Cashman and AJ Hurt, who for the reduced male team. First time in Soelden without Ted Ligety, who has left the competition, there will not even be Tommy Ford still recovering after the crash at the Crusader in Adelboden, and so we hope for a good placement with River Radamus (sphere of new hair .. . particular) and Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who has not competed since the day of his injury in the No. 1 downhill in Kitzbuehel.
Canada? It will focus on Valérie Grenier and the very young Cassidy Gray with the pink group, without Marie-Michèle Gagnon who will focus everything on fast disciplines, while Erik Read and Trevor Philp will start in the 30s in the men's giant.
Slovenia will have few strikers, but also good in the men's field with Zan Kranjec called to the redemption season and Stefan Hadalin, but attention above all to the female team commanded by Meta Hrovat. The new student of Livio Magoni, who will have at his side Tina Robnik, Ana Bucik, Andreja Slokar and Neja Dvornik, is aiming for the top.
