Teresa Runggaldier's first World Cup appearance

As the daughter of Peter Runggaldier, Teresa was practically born into skiing. She was considered a great talent from a young age and reached the top 19 of the European Cup as a 6-year-old. However, after a season that didn't go as planned, she was dropped from the national team last summer. Now the Wolkensteiner has a great chance to fight her way back there: she has been nominated for the Speed Triple at Passo San Pellegrino. Runggaldier did not expect this, as she did opposite SportNews explains: “Apart from an 11th place in the European Cup downhill in Crans Montana, the season didn’t go as I imagined,” emphasizes the 21-year-old: “But it’s not finished yet, which is why I’m saying it again will give everything. I'm all the happier that I can now take part in the training sessions." The woman from Val Gardena has to fight for a ticket in these, as three other athletes, Federica Sosio, Giulia Albano and Elena Dolmen, are vying for two starting places. “I decided to ride the way I can and do my best,” says Runggaldier, who likes the technically demanding route: “I didn't have the opportunity to train there this year, but I know the slope many races. It is very beautiful and I am really looking forward to driving on it.” In addition to Runggaldier, Nadia Delago is another South Tyrolean in the eleven-strong Azzurre squad, which is led by Federica Brignone. The program: 1. Downhill training (Wednesday, 10.15:XNUMX a.m.) 2. Downhill training (Thursday, 10.15:XNUMX a.m.) 1st departure (Friday, 11.45 a.m.) 2nd departure (Saturday, 11 a.m.) Super-G (Sunday, 11 a.m.)
