The Alpine Ski World Cup from Saalbach-Hinterglemist, now the everyday World Cup is back on the program.
The women in Sestrière are already in demand on Friday. There the unusual giant slalom is made up for tremblant (Canada). For the German Ski Association (DSV), Lena Dürr, Emma Aicher and Fabian Dorigo start. Dürr surprised in the World Cup giant slalom as a strong ninth. According to his own statements, it was “Your best giant slalom for years”.
Top favorite is world champion Federica Brignone. Thousands of Tifosi will cheerfully cheer on the 34-year-old on the traditional route in Piedmont in her home race.
Another giant slalom follows on Saturday and the slalom on Sunday – in which Dürr wants to do a little good after their weak World Cup cutting. In the slalom rating, it has now fallen back to fifth place. For Emma Aicher, it’s about getting back to the finish in the slalom.
