Bassino feels uncomfortable but leaves everyone behind

“It was very icy, I didn't have a good feeling,” said Marta Bassino after the first round, which she confidently leads ahead of the Swiss Michelle Gisin (+0,27 seconds) and the Slovakian Petra Vlhova (+0,51). “When I saw that I was first at the finish, I thought to myself that the other runners were also having problems. The slope is very icy and it's hard to push," the Italian underlines that she didn't feel completely comfortable during her performance in Kranjska Gora. Azzurra is not alone with this feeling, as other runners also had problems. Decision from 14 p.m Nevertheless, Bassino is in first place in the half-time ranking and is therefore the big favorite in the decision, which will take place from 14 p.m. The 24-year-old from Cuneo has proven that she is currently in the strongest form in the giant slalom: she has already won 2 out of 3 races this year, and she was also on the verge of being at the front in Courchevel, but was then eliminated. Bassino is currently stronger than overall World Cup winner Federica Brignone, who is one second behind in 6th place at halftime. Mikaela Shiffrin, who won the last giant slalom in Courchevel, is half a second behind in fourth place. There will be excitement in the second round from 4 p.m. There are no South Tyroleans in Kranjska Gora. Giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, 1st round Pos Name Country Time 1.
