Laura Pirovano and Marta Bassino in unison on the Saalbach slope
The words of Laura Pirovano and Marta Bassino
Laura Pirovano and Marta Bassino, unlike Federica Brignone, Sofia Goggia and Nicol Delago, struggled more than expected in the first time trial of the women’s downhill in Saalbach valid for the Ski World Cup, finishing 26th and 21st respectively. At the end of the race, the two skiers spoke in unison about the main difficulties they encountered on the Austrian slope.
"It's a really fun slope. I think it will be difficult to be able to do it perfectly. There isn't much slope, so any mistake, in the race, will be paid dearly" these are the words of Laura Pirovano.
"It's a nice long descent, with lots of terrain movement. It's necessary to deal with all the bumps in the right way to pick up speed, since the slope here is not è so much" these, instead, the statements of Marta Bassino.
