It is the race that nobody cares about, of the nine scheduled for the World Cup finals, but in any case after the two days dedicated to speed and before the weekend with fast disciplines, it is time for a team event in Courchevel -Méribel.
On Friday at 12.00 the start of a race that will be even shorter than usual, given that there are just eight nations registered for a parallel team that will in any case see Italy fielding the best possible formation or almost, very similar to the one lined up. at the Olympic Games (where the elimination in the quarterfinals against the United States, absent tomorrow) was fatal.
Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino, in fact, have decided to be there also because they will then skip the slalom on Saturday, to focus on the giant on Sunday, while Luca De Aliprandini will form the male couple with Giovanni Borsotti, with Elena Curtoni the only reserve in case of need.
A race that counts only for points in the ranking by nations, with Austria and Switzerland still fighting for the first place: if the Wunderteam, even without Strolz and Liensberger (Olympic champions in Beijing 2022), will have a good team with Troops, Huber , Brennsteiner and Gstrein, the Swiss objectively propose second and third lines, such as Janutin (2nd in the European Cup standings, but will not compete in the fast races in Soldeu) and Livio Simonet and Darbellay-Ellenberger with the girls.
Attention, as always, to Norway, which always has a level team with Stjernesund, Holtmann (and Tviberg), Solheim and Nestvold-Haugen, but also to the Canada of Mielzynski-Smart-Read-Philp, with France instead focusing on Direz and Frasse Sombet with Favrot and Anguenot.
Italy will see it in the quarter-finals with Lena Duerr's Germany (which does not have Schmid and Strasser), then a possible semi-final against Canada or Switzerland. At the top of the scoreboard, Austria-Slovenia and France-Norway comparisons.
