Ski, summoned

Unveiled the Italian women’s skiers summoned for the Women’s World Cup event on the Kranjska Gora slope in Slovenia, where they will compete in a giant slalom on Saturday, January 4 (first run at 9:30 a.m., second run at 12:30 p.m. with live TV coverage on RaiSport and Eurosport) and a slalom on Sunday, January 5 (first run at 10 a.m., second run at 1 p.m.).

Prominent is the return to competition among the wide gates of Sofia Goggia, almost a year after’s last appearance in the specialty, who will be joined by Marta Bassino, Federica Brignone (red leader bib thanks to her successes in Soelden and Semmering), Roberta Melesi, Asja Zenere, Elisa Platino, Ilaria Ghisalberti, Lara Della Mea and Giorgia Collomb.

The following day, however, Martina Peterlini, Marta Rossetti, the same Della Mea and Collomb will be present, completing in team Lucrezia Lorenzi and Vera Tshurtschenthaler.

The precedents on the Podkoren track speak of two blue victories thanks to Marta Bassino, who conquered a fantastic double in 2018 twenty-four hours apart. The same Cuneo è was second in 2023 and third in 2022, while Federica Brignone collected a second place in 2023 and 2012 and a third place in 2024. Sofia Goggia was third in 2018 and Nicole Gius second in 2007.
