Among the tens of thousands of preferences received, the three athletes who received the most votes and thus remain in the running for the title were, in alphabetical order, Michele Boscacci, Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia.
The second phase, which will end on Friday, October 21, has opened. Preferences will be recounted all over again, only one vote can be cast, any repeated preferences from the same email will not be taken into account.
