It is Kira Weidle's third Alpine World Ski Championships.
After St. Moritz (Switzerland) in 2017 and Åre (Sweden) in 2019, the 24-year-old from Starnberg will try to get her first World Cup medal in Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy) on Monday.

- Weidle has been with the team of the German Ski Association in the fashionable winter sports resort in the Dolomites since Saturday to prepare for their races.
“We have been preparing for the last few days in San Pellegrino together with the Italians, Austrians and Swiss,” says the racer from SC Starnberg.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, she will start in the Super-G (10.30 a.m.).
If today's combined Super-G takes place as planned before the slalom, "then I'll use it as training for Tuesday".
That depends on the weather, because it had snowed heavily on Sunday, which is why the scheduled "slope driving" was canceled.
She has better chances in the downhill, which takes place next Saturday (11 a.m.).
During the week there are still three training runs on the program.
Weidle is in good spirits, even if her last home race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen didn't go so well: “I'm really looking forward to the week, because I have really good memories of Cortina.
In addition, Cortina is simply wonderful. ”In her previous World Cup races on the high-speed track at the foot of the Tofana, the Starnberg-born woman usually achieved top results in the downhill.
In 2018 she finished ninth, in 2019 she was eighth and fourth.
“The feeling is right,” she says.
