Clear the stage for the technicians: the second week of the World Cup is upon us

In Courchevel, a day of rest really means a day of rest. This was particularly noticeable on Monday in the press center in Le Praz, which is right next to the goal stadium in Courchevel. Almost all of the chairs remained on the tables, only a handful of journalists found their way into the gymnasium that had been converted into a writing workshop. Recharge your batteries before the outstanding World Cup medals are awarded.

The second week starts on Tuesday afternoon in Méribel at 12.15 p.m. with the team event. As always, this will be held in a parallel format - a discipline that is not met with much enthusiasm among the athletes. That's why the number of world-class drivers on Tuesday is limited.

Marta Bassino attacks in the parallel event.

The Azzurri sextet consists of Lara Della Mea, Asja Zenere, Beatrice Sola, Filippo Dalla Vite, Giovanni Borsotti and the Val Gardena native Alex Vinatzer. Four athletes (two women and two men) are used, two more are reserves. Norway starts as the title-defending nation.
