Soelden is ready for the big party, after two editions of the World Cup opening definitely conditioned by the pandemic. There are no restrictions in terms of ticket sales and very few also in terms of logistics, even if we will hardly see the full house of the golden years for the two giants of the weekend on the Rettenbach glacier. The women will open the 2022/23 season, with some concerns related to the weather since, after a series of practically perfect days, between tomorrow and Saturday (when the two heats are scheduled at 10.00 and 13.05) a deterioration is expected , even if there should be no problems for the regular dispute of the women's race, even less for the men's one considering that Sunday is expected the sun at an altitude of 2800 meters. The program includes, in addition to the series of collateral events including various conferences and lots of music, on Friday afternoon from 17.30 the first real appointment alongside the athletes, with the extraction of bibs for the female giant, while the male one will be staged on Saturday , from 7.15 pm, after the fan club parade and the awarding of the same girls for the race a few hours earlier. For those who do not climb the glacier in the Oetztal valley, the TV programming will be complete and decidedly rich, as indeed for the entire season since Eurosport and Rai Sport will broadcast every World Cup event, in addition to the review. world champion of Courchevel Méribel. It will start on Saturday in Soelden from 9.45 am for the 1st heat, on Eurosport 1 (and on the various platforms of the discovery + group, from Eurosport Player to the possibility of connecting through the DAZN subscription) and on Rai Sport. The leading pay TV on a continental level confirmed broadcasters and technical commentators who have been entering the homes of fans for years: for the women's competitions, voice to Gianmario Bonzi flanked by the former blue Camilla Alfieri for the technical competitions and Daniela Merighetti for the fast disciplines , while the appointments with the men's CdM will see Zoran Filicic and Silvano Varettoni as technical voice in the cabin. "Mamma Rai", with a series of races also proposed on Rai 2 on the occasion of the appointments on Italian snow, will begin with the studies entrusted to the presenter Sabrina Gandolfi and to the voice of skiing on state TV, Paolo De Chiesa who will let us enter the technical details of the races. Commentaries entrusted to the journalists Enrico Cattaneo and Davide Labate, respectively for women and men, and also in this case nothing changes compared to the past, with the only variation concerning the technical commentators. If alongside Cattaneo there will be alternatively Daniela Ceccarelli (compatibly with the commitments of her daughter Lara Colturi, who the Olympic champion trains and will also follow in Soelden) and Giulio Bosca, with Labate here is Alberto Schieppati on a permanent basis in place of Max Blardone. For the former Milanese gigantist, now Aosta Valley by adoption, the first experiences at Rai already at the World Cup in Cortina 2021, then again during the past season on a few occasions and now the "big leap".
