Ledecka is becoming the favorite

Training on the second longest descent of the World Cup began with a moment of shock: Ilka Sthuec fell on the 70% steep starting slope and then held her hand. However, serious injuries can be ruled out for the Slovenian. Nicole Schmidhofer (Austria) was also shocked when she fell in the lower part of the route.

The Italian Francesca Marsaglia set the first target time, but Ramona Siebenhofer beat her by more than a second. Afterwards, no athlete came close to this time (1:1.47,92) - not even Ledecka, who was ultimately 11 hundredths of a second short of the best time. Siebenhofer's compatriot Tamara Tippler came third (+0,23 seconds).

Goggia is Italy's hottest place Nicol Delago showed a courageous drive, but made a mistake at the gate and still has reserves for the race. The 24-year-old from Wolkenstein finished the training almost 9 tenths of a second behind in 11th place. Her sister Nadia, who won two European Cup downhills in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee last year, lost over 3 seconds and ended up outside the top 30. Verena Gasslitter was more than 6 seconds behind at the finish. Sofia Goggia, on the other hand, underlined her ambitions to win with fifth place (+5).

The result: Pos Name Country Time 1. Ramona Siebenhofer Austria 1.47,92 2. Ester Ledecka Czechia +0,11 seconds 3. Tamara Tippler Austria +0,23 4. Joana Hählen Switzerland +0,28 5. Sofia Goggia Italy +0,31 11. Nicol Delago Italy/Wolkenstein +0,89 39. Nadia Delago Italy/Wolkenstein +3,15 57. Verena Gasslitter Italy/Castelrotto +6,26
