Edoardo Frau 3 in the Schilpario giant, but Martin Bartak's World Cup

The fight for the male crystal ball, in the finals on the Bergamo slopes, ends with an early race.

It is the Czech Martin-Bartak, born in 1999, to conquer the World Cup of grass skiing. It was enough the 2nd place in the giant of Schilpario, right in front of a rival of an entire season, Edoardo Frau, to take away the 39 year old blue a title already won six times (and in the last three editions) by the native Asiago champion. An exciting duel, the one that was staged between two athletes of two different generations, but who played the Cup on the edge of the hundredths, race after race. A verdict that, even before today's trial between wide doors, seemed to have been written after Frau's crash in the super-combined slalom, which opened last Thursday in the finals hosted by Italy. The giant has seen the impetus of the Swiss Stefan Portmann, who preceded by 53 cents Bartak and precisely the same Frau, already 165 points distant compared to the very young Czech; Edoardo Gritti, second in the slalom of the previous day, finished in 5th place and was overtaken (by 38 points) by Portmann himself on the lowest step of the podium in general, Pietro Guerini at 8th, Daniele Buio at 12 ° and Filippo Zamboni on the 13th. The female test once again rewarded the dominator of the circuit Jacqueline Gerlach, with the Austrian able to beat the Slovak Nikola Fricova and the Czech Petra Mlejnkova. Outside all the blue except Federica Milesi, week, while Antonella Manzoni did not take the start, but retains the 2nd place in the general behind Gerlach and in front of 55 points compared to Vesela, before the closing scheduled Sunday with the supergiant.
