There are 50 entrants for the third women’s giant slalom of the season, which will be held on the Flying Mile slope in Mont Tremblant, Canada (first run at 5 p.m., second at 8 p.m. with live television coverage on RaiSport and Eurosport).

With number 1 Sara Hector will open the dances, followed by Paula Moltzan, Zrinka Ljutic, Julia Scheib, Alice Robinson, Lara Colturi and Thea Stjernesund. Five Italian nationals are in attendance: Sofia Goggia will have the 17th, Asja Zenere the 21st, Lara Della Mea the 24th, Giorgia Collomb the 27th and Ilaria Ghisalberti the 29th.

Vincent Kriechmayr’s sumptuous performance on the difficult Beaver Creek super-G course, which was windswept and had stretches of poor visibility for some athletes. However, the experienced Austrian champion was able to interpret the situation in the best possible way, finishing with a time of 1’06″77, edging out every opponent. Partially up to his standards was Norway’s Fredrik Moeller, who left almost 7 tenths in the first part, characterized by very tight turns on the wall, but then skied to the Austrian’s level, finishing second at 56 hundredths.
Another Austrian in third place, Raphael Haaser at 1″03.

Dominik Paris had a similar race to Moeller’s, with some difficulties in the first section, where he left 88 hundredths to Kriechmayr, but then the Val d’Ultimo Italian was very fast, as he had already shown himself to be in Thursday’s downhill and Copper’s super-G, containing the gap to 1″15, which earned him fourth place.
