No bad surprises, the Women’s World Cup races in Crans-Montana will take place in two weeks. The Haut-Plateau station successfully passed FIS inspection this Saturday morning. Despite the recent rises in temperatures plaguing Central Europe, the Mont Lachaux piste is in excellent condition with 1.50 meters of snow across the entire route. It is true that the organizers have been preparing the course for a little over a month in order to guarantee the smooth running of the competitions. This week, the safety nets were put in place.
On the program in the Valais resort, two descents and a super-G which promise spectacle and above all suspense in the race for the great Crystal Globe which is raging. Lara Gut-Behrami, Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia, who have often shone in the past in Crans-Montana, will seek to score valuable points for the general, knowing that it is not yet certain that the American Mikaela Shiffrin will be recovering from his fall in Cortina d’Ampezzo last week.
The European Cup first, with Malorie Blanc and Noémie Kolly
But before the World Cup races, it’s time for the European Cup. Two descents are planned for next Saturday and Sunday. The very recent junior super-G world champion Malorie Blanc and Noémie Kolly will already be entered in these two races. The two Romandes should also be there in two weeks in the World Cup.
