4 girls were selected:
INSAM Evelyn (1994) Malsiner Lara (2000) Malsiner Manuela (1997) RUNGGALDIER Elena (1990)
More than the Italian national one could speak of the Val Gardena team, since all convened jumpers come precisely from this valley.
The leader of the movement is clearly Malsiner Manuela, who will leave the ranks of the outsiders for the race to the podium. On the 'other hand, the nineteen year old, as well as having recently graduated junior world champion, it has been proposed several times in the top ten, going up also on the podium in un''occasione.
Elena Runggaldier and Evelyn Insam will aim to get a placement in the top 15-20 positions, while for the young Lara Malsiner (younger sister of Manuela) the 'most credible goal is to qualify for the second round.
