The World Cup combinations: Will the medal ban break?

Before the title fights, Flavio Roda, the president of the Italian winter sports association FISI, had set the goal of surpassing the medal haul from the 2019 World Cup in Åre. Back then, thanks to Dominik Paris, Sofia Goggia and the team, the Azzuri took three podium places in the team competition. This result is now in danger, especially since Italy came away empty-handed in the speed disciplines. On Monday, Riccardo Tonetti & Co. have their next chance to win their long-awaited first medal. There was no World Cup race in the Alpine Combined this season, which makes the uncertainty ahead of today's race all the greater. This is further increased by one circumstance: the Super-G (11.15 a.m.) is not held on the classic Vertigine, but on the Olimpia delle Tofane, where the women hold their races. With number 3, Tonetti wants to create the best possible starting position for the slalom in the afternoon. Christof Innerhofer wants to do the same with the 16th. The one for the station wagon The actually planned referee has to fit. Top-class women's field If the men's victory only goes to Alexis Pinturault, an extremely exciting race can be expected for the women. Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino are the great Italian hopes. Michelle Gisin, Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin are also at the start and are favorites given their Super-G performances. And Wendy Holdener? The reigning world champion has not yet competed in a race in Cortina. Their shape is therefore questionable. Nadia Delago can only surprisingly do so due to the lack of slalom training. The start of the Super-G is scheduled for 9.45:XNUMX a.m. Both competitions were supposed to have taken place last week, but were then postponed due to weather.
