After a week of respite the clouds decide to return to war, and this time the attack is lethal organization: rain to ruin this little snow, a gray morning fog to obscure Canadian. Stuff to reevaluate that last giant Olympic course in Sestriere under a heavy snow, stuff to embarrass and Japan Morioka whole.
First round held in terrible conditions with visibility to a minimum in the upper part of the track athletes who start at intervals of thirty seconds, the TV show nothing short of obscene. What happens is that Lindsey Vonn falls and breaks a finger, it happens that Julia Mancuso was stopped in mid path with the fellow on the ground in pain, and traced back to the starting gate riding a snowmobile. The show must go on. But the clouds
win, and great as well. This time, however, willingly or not, can not play the second leg. Progressive Referral for a couple of hours, athletes segregated to the starting gate in the snow and fog, and without any shelter, and awaited the final verdict of the immediate return to the hotel. This opens the regulation but, surprise, surprise, This paragraph does not exist: teams that push to start again from where you left off, others are seeking the annulment of a race that seems to define this euphemistic. It chooses the first option, by way 'of transitional provisions. Just as they issue forth out of a war.
And while the organizational Kobarid, Piave also lie in the dreams of a compensation flag. All evil, from first to last: Manuela Moelgg (17 °) destroys a good initial run, Federica Brignone (18 °), Nicole Gius (20 °) and Denise Karbon (23 °) are pulled out of the game from the beginning. It seemed impossible to do worse than boys on the day before. Successful business.
triumphed German Victoria Rebensburg and victory, despite all the controversy is more than deserved. Sixth after the first round, seventh best part the next day despite a very slow track and damaged, and the first success in the career of twenty Kreuth finally exploded this season. Rounding out the podium two other major stars of these Games and gaps are minimal: 4 cents and the second silver (after the one obtained in super-g) for the Slovenian Tina Maze , 14 cents and the second bronze (obtained after the downhill) to Lizzie Goergl . Zettel instead remain in the cold (5 °) and Hoelzl (6 °), the undisputed queen of specialties in the World Cup, and the bitterness is also great for an unfortunate Fabienne Suter (4 °) which, after a fifth and a sixth place obtained in downhill and super combined, sees further growth in its five circles regrets. Bargain thrown to the winds for the young Barioz Taina (9 °) and Eva-Maria Brem (7 °), respectively the second and fourth place at the end of the initial round, while big disappoint the likes of Maria Riesch (10 °), Tanja Poutiainen (13 °) and Anja Paerson (21 °). Last and necessary to mention an ever-fabulous Julia Mancuso (8th), author of a great comeback after the misfortunes suffered in the opening of tenders.
is back on track at once with the women's slalom: first run hours 19.00, second at 22.30. Hopefully, by Italians, to save the honor. Hopefully, from sports to see a good race.
