Reichegger starts at the World Cup in Martell

One of these well-known names is Manfred Reichegger, the multiple world and Italian champion comes from the Ahrntal and can therefore almost compete in a “home race” at the Marmotta Trophy. He is one of the favorites but as he says himself it will certainly not be an easy race. “I will try everything, but at least ten athletes are eligible for victory, including of course some of my teammates from the Italian team,” said the 34-year-old South Tyrolean. And in fact there are several names on the starting list that are considered for victory. Above all, the Swiss Martin Anthamatten, who is currently leading the overall World Cup, and his first pursuer, the Frenchman William Bon Mardion. Hot on their heels are the Italian Matteo Eydallin and the Spaniard Killian Jornet Burgada in third and fourth place in the overall World Cup.

Above all, they will try to make up points in the overall standings with a win and catch up with the two leaders in order to then be within striking distance of the World Cup final in Zakopane, Poland. Local hero Manfred Reichegger is currently fifth in the overall World Cup.

He had health problems at the beginning of this season, but has gotten better and better in the last few weeks. The two medals that he won last week at the World Championships in Claut (Friuli) also bear witness to this. “To be honest, I didn’t expect the gold medal in the relay and the silver medal in the team competition at the World Championships. At the Marmotta I expect a nice race on a challenging route and I hope that I can be at the front,” said Reichegger. In addition to the names mentioned, the relatively young Robert Antonioli and Michele Boscacci should also be noted, who together won three gold medals in the junior categories at the World Championships.

Mireia Miro Varela the great hunted

While the men's race seems pretty open, the Spanish Mireia Miro Varela is the women's favorite. She leads the overall World Cup and won two gold medals, one silver and one bronze medal at the World Championships.

The French Laetitia Roux, the Swiss Nathalie Etzensperger and Gabrielle Magnenat and the Italian team Corinne Clos and Francesca Martinelli as well as Gloriana Pellissier have further chances of winning.

The weather report predicts the best weather for Sunday and temperatures that are quite pleasant for the time of year. First it starts at 9.00:9.20 a.m. for the World Cup women, at 9.25:XNUMX a.m. the start of the ISMF World Cup for women and finally at XNUMX:XNUMX a.m. the athletes of the FISI competition start.
