Two FIS slaloms also valid for the Argentine championships, those seen today at Cerro Catedral for the closing of the four days of competitions which, from Tuesday to last Thursday, awarded points for the South American Cup.
After the one conquered in the giant, the national title arrived between the tight posts for Francesca Baruzzi Farriol, who dominated the scene by clearly beating even Lara Colturi at an absolute level: the 2006 class that runs under the Albanian flag, second at the end of the 1st heat at 1 "38 from Argentina (paying as in the two days before the high bib, the number 23), this time he lost further in the second, closing in the place of honor 2" 58 behind Baruzzi, while Canadian Marie-Penelope Robinson completed the podium, third at 4 ”80 ahead of Macarena Simari Birkner and the British Gorringe. Out the only blue in the race, Giorgia Aime.
The men's slalom gave a surprise that tastes of ... amarcord: at almost 41 years old (who will celebrate at the end of September) and over 8 after retiring from high-level competition in 2014 in Kranjska Gora, he met again in Akira Sasaki race.
Fans will remember him well, the pure Japanese slalomist capable of reaching the podium three times in the World Cup (all second places), taking part in the beauty of four editions of the Olympic Games. The beauty is that Sasaki also won, at the end of a very tight race (in which Pietro Tranchina, yesterday excellent 8th, came out in the 1st heat) with the British Samuel Todd-Saunders second at just 5 cents and the Argentines Bautista Alonso and Cristian Javier Simari Birkner, who thus conquer the national title ex aequo, third just 7 cents from the Japanese.
