11.39: The Swiss Haehlen does not earn on her partner Gut in the final: she is still fourth at 72 cents. Excellent proof for her. Now Elena Curtoni, the first of the blue

11.21: The test starts again: Venier on the track

11.18: The employees are moving some doors on Gut’s instructions, who thought it was too fast. It will take a few more minutes

11.15: The track is being repaired. Gut noticed too fast a pass and moved the organizers. The Austrian Venier is at the starting point

11.08: probably Gut-Behrami has given indications for a dangerous passage on the track and is working to fix things

11.05: The test was immediately interrupted, in the meantime Bassino will not take part in the first timed test but will start tomorrow

11.04: Lara Gut-Behrami closes her test with a time of 1’30 “68, it is the first time of reference for the two-time winner here last year

11.02: Gut-Behrami game a little late

10.57: Frozen snow, -3 degrees at the start, there are some clouds on the sky of Crans Montana but the situation is still favorable for a regular test

10.54: These are the starting bibs of the first 12 athletes at the start, where most of the favorites for the final success are concentrated:

1 GUT-BEHRAMI Lara SUI
2, Stephanie I came AUS
3 WEIDLE Kira GER
4 SIEBENHOFER Ramona AUT
5 SUTER Corinne SUI
6 MOWINCKEL Ragnhild NOR
7 JOHNSON Breezy USA
8 VLHOVA Petra SVK
9 LEDECKA Ester CZE
10 GISIN Michelle SUI
11 STUHEC Ilka SLO
12 HAEHLEN Joana SUI

10.50: We will have a rather intense “Italy time” because, in the starting bibs, the most anticipated blue ones are all concentrated between numbers 13 and 17: 12 Elena Curtoni, 13 Pirovano, 14 Goggia, 15 Bassino, 16 Brignone. Then we will have Marsaglia with 20, Nadia Delago with 24 and Melesi with 53

10.47: the rivals of the blues come above all from the home team, Corinne Suter who this year won a success in the first descent overtaking Sofia Goggia, who then won the other two, and Lara Gut-Behrami who last year scored a double here of successes and comes from the beautiful victory in Super-G in Sankt Anton to seal an excellent moment of form that still lasts from the beginning of the season

10.45: more complicated, on the other hand, is the situation of Federica Brignone who a year ago laid the foundations on these snows with a first in the Combined, a fourth and a seventh place in downhill, for the conquest of the general World Cup and today is presented back from some unsatisfactory results and with a non-optimal psycho-physical condition

10.42: There is also great expectation for Marta Bassino who is galvanized by the double success in giant in Kranjska Gora and, should she obtain some good results next weekend, she could even forcefully enter the fight for the World Cup but a real exploit is needed . Never say never with this Bassino and already today you can begin to understand what its potential is

10.40: Sofia Goggia is the big favorite for the double descent of Crans Montana. The blue has returned to the glories of 2018 and 2019 and is back from a double victory in the World Cup

10.37: There is a lot of Italy in Crans Montana, in a context that in recent years has often given great satisfaction to the blue colors. Here Sofia Goggia in 2019 in Downhill and Federica Brignone in 2020 in Combined won

10.35: Good morning to the friends of OA Sport and welcome to the first timed trial of the double downhill scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Crans Montana in Switzerland

The World Cup races held on the Mont Lachaux track in Crans-Montana are among the most difficult on the women’s circuit.

Spotlights also on Marta Bassino who will try to recover some points on the general World Cup leader Petra Vlhova.

In Crans Montana. where last year he actually obtained the decisive points for the conquest of the crystal ball (victory in combined, fourth and seventh place downhill) Federica Brignone is also looking for a ransom, just back from a less than satisfactory weekend in Kranjska Gora. Eight blue have been called up for the weekend competitions: Marta Bassino, Federica Brignone, Elena Curtoni, Nadia Delago, Sofia Goggia, Francesca Marsaglia (returned to disposition after the bruises remedied in the fall of St. Anton), Roberta Melesi and Laura Pirovano. Attention to the hosts Corinne Suter, winner of the first seasonal descent and above all and Lara Gut-Behrami that here last year made a double of successes and comes from the beautiful victory in the Super-G of Sankt Anton.

The first trial of the women’s downhill in Crans Montana in Switzerland, valid for the 2020-2021 Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup. OA Sport offers you the DIRETTA LIVE textual so as not to miss a moment of the approach of the athletes to the weekend on the Austrian snow. It starts at 11.00.
