Nicol Delago insists on compensation in Garmisch

In the last 4 speed races, the Val Gardena native only collected 2 World Cup points and was eliminated twice. But in Garmisch-Partenkirchen everything should be different, after all, the route profile of the Kandahar piste is completely different than that in Bansko, for example: the slope on the Marc Girardelli piste in Bulgaria is not really designed for a downhill run, which is why giant slalom specialists were used like Mikaela Shiffrin, Federica Brignone or Marta Bassino have a clear advantage.

Due to the fact that there will be more long curves in Garmisch this weekend, Delago's chances of a top place also increase. The 24-year-old achieved her second top 2018 place in the World Cup in 10th place in the downhill run on the Kandahar in 10. Last year, Delago was also strong in the Super-G, but made a serious mistake in the lower part of the course, so she ended up “only” 27th.

Brignone with a mini chance in the overall World Cup The other Azzurre who will be taking part in the speed races in Garmisch are Sofia Goggia, Federica Brignone, Marta Bassino, Elena Curtoni, Nadia Delago (Wolkenstein), Francesca Marsaglia, Laura Pirovano and Verena Gasslitter (Castelrotto). Brignone (955 points) has the opportunity to reduce the gap to Mikaela Shiffrin (1.225) in the overall World Cup this weekend. The American is skipping the next races because of the unexpected death of her father. It is still unclear how long the 24-year-old will stay away from the World Cup. The program in Garmisch Thursday Friday: Downhill training Saturday: Departure (11.30 p.m.) Sunday: Super G (11.15)
