The training of the elite team continues for Italy - with the exception of Marta Bassino who is involved in the next weekend in slalom in Levi- and the women's multipurpose group on the Copper Mountain slopes.
The blues - Federica Brignone, Sofia Goggia, Elena Curtoni, Francesca Marsaglia, Roberta Melesi, Karoline Pichler, Nicol and Nadia Delago - received the exceptional visit of their former colleague and opponent Lindsey Vonn.
In Colorado there are also the protagonists of the men's speed of the World Cup Dominik Paris, Christof Innerhfoer, Emanuele Buzzi, Mattia Casse, Matteo Marsaglia, Pietro Zazzi, Nicolò Molteni, Riccardo Tonetti and Guglielmo Bosca. The girls in training in view of the next quick cup races in North America alternate supergiant heats with downhill tests. The technical director Gianluca Rulfi is satisfied with the work. "We are training well in Colorado - explained the Genoese coach -. We struggled a bit in the first few days because the snow here too does not arrive as soon as it did a few years ago, and even with artificial snow it is difficult since the workers had managed to prepare about 70% of the route.For about three days we have arrived at 100% and this allows us to do about a minute and a half of speed in race conditions, so we are very satisfied.
