Domme is also there: These “Azzurri” start in Sölden

The Ultimo native was included in the squad for the men's giant slalom on Sunday (first round at 10 a.m., second at 13 p.m.) by sports director Massimo Rinaldi. For downhill ace Paris, it is only the sixth World Cup race in giant slalom, although he was able to qualify for the second round in his previous starts. Only at the World Cup final in Aspen in March, where all starters qualify for the second run, did he finish the race and narrowly missed out on the points in 16th place (only the top 15 get World Cup points at the final).

Eisath is toying with the top 10 Paris will be one of a total of six South Tyroleans in Sölden. Simon Maurberger, Manfred Mölgg, Riccardo Tonetti, Florian Eisath and Manuela Mölgg are also tackling the race on the Rettenbachferner. The hopes rest primarily on Florian Eisath, who can be found in the first starting group and is eyeing a top 1 place - even if the results so far in Sölden have not been exciting. Two 10th places (11 and 2012) were his best placements to date on the Rettenbachferner. Manfred Mölgg conquered the only South Tyrolean podium place in Sölden in 2015.

The Italian line-up is completed by Giovanni Borsotti, Luca De Aliprandini, Roberto Nani, power woman Sofia Goggia, Laura Pirovano, Irene Curtoni, Elena Curtoni, the two debutants Jole Galli and Luisa Bertani as well as Marta Bassino, who came third in Sölden last year could achieve.

The women's giant slalom takes place on Saturday and the men's on Sunday. Round 1 starts at 10 a.m., the decision is made at 13 p.m.
