The Swiss selection for Saint-Moritz has fallen. There are no surprises in the Swiss contingent which must participate in two super-Gs on Saturday and Sunday. The same eight athletes present at Beaver Creek are on the trip to Grisons, namely, Lara Gut-Behramiwho finished 2nd yesterday in the Birds of Prey in super-G, Michelle Gisin, who has found the sacred fire, Corinne Suter, Joana Hählen, Jasmina Suter, Priska Ming-Nufer, Delia Durrer et Stephanie Jenal.
To these eight girls are logically added Janine Schmitt. The overall and super-G winner of the European Cup benefits from a fixed place for the entire season. The Saint-Galloise, who once again climbed on the podium this Monday in Zinal in the antechamber of the elite, will make her 7th start in the World Cup.
A decision taken after Zinal’s second super-G
A tenth and final athlete should be added to this list. In this case, it is Malorie Blanc. There is a very good chance that the Valaisanne will celebrate her baptism on the White Circus this weekend in Graubünden. according to information gathered last week in Beaver Creek.
The skier from Ayent, who injured her left knee last February in Crans-Montana, proved to have regained her excellent form both in FIS races at Copper Mountain, and this Monday on the Sorebois piste, where she is ranked 4th in the European Cup super-G.
A final decision on the participation of the talented Valais skier will be taken after the second super-G scheduled for Tuesday in Zinal.
