Yesterday, the 38 year-old from Valle d'Aosta in Ayas reached 39 races won in the Cup giving a decisive blow to the ambitions of the Austrian Manuel Kramer, who appeared in the standings before this two days characterized by strong winds and that had to settle before a fifth and then of a ninth place. Second and fourth yesterday were the French Simon Billy and Bastien Montes, the winner of last year's Cup, today respectively second and third behind the Swiss Philippe May. Third and eighth the brother of Simone, Ivan, so the other blue: eighth and eleventh Emilio Giacomelli, twenty-eighth and thirty-third Antonio Renaldo. Simone renews his bulletin board after the crystal balls already won in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016, as well as five golds and a silver collected at the World Championships.
In the women's field, at the fourth World Cup already won, stops at 26 consecutive victories, 25 in the Cup more than the last World Cup, for Valentina Greggio. The 27 year-old from Verona, after winning yesterday's race-1 having prevailed in the heats on Thursday, held good for the Cup classification because yesterday's final could not dispute due to the wind, today was third, beaten by her main opponent, the French Célia Martinez and the Swedish Brutta Bäcklund, while Thursday Valentina had won in front of the Scandinavian and the transalpine. It must be said however that the Piedmontese had to redo the race because its descent was not recorded by photocells.
"It was really stressful because there were so many pitfalls - says Simone Origone at fisi.org - at a certain point the visibility was really poor, so I slipped a wrong lane and had to slow down to avoid trajectories. Ten cups are really many, but my desire for victories is not 'still sated .. If the knees hold, I will continue above all to have fun at least another year, now I have nothing more to ask my career.
