ROCCARASO
- THE SIXTH VENUE - Trying to reach Stoessel and Merlin
20 february 2008. - Only four races left of 2008'
Fis Carving Cup, the time on february 23 the lights will go
on on Roccaraso's Gravare Corte (Skiarea Aremogna). A sixth
venue that may remix the cards for what concerns the run for
the cup victory. Only Pragelato and Zakopane spare René Stoessel,
in a magic moment of perfect shape (triple victory always
conquered during the final at San Martino di Castrozza, Airolo
and Kranjska Gora) from the cristal cup that will be assigned
during the season's final at Claviere. But Stoessel is not
allowed to rest because 36 pts are all of his advantage on
Ivan Eggenberger. Italy's hope is all on Roberto Boselli,
two victories (Folgarida and Monte Bondone) this year, than
a little break and the come back in Zakopane with a second
place. Detached, but not forgotten Gianluca Grigoletto who
will do everything to return to win on this slope that has
seen his thriumph at the World Challenge 2004 and his Cupvictory
in 2006. Less interesting the women's ranking: Alessandra
Merlin collected 5 victories and has a good advantage on the
trio which is running for the second place: Melanie Buergener
(SUI), Ana Teuc (SLO) and Vanja Celigoj (SLO). On the Gravare
Corte the winning mix will be of athletic creativity and of
course tactics and again tactics. Mauro Robustelli, the offical
course setter possibly will place on the track al least 3
jumps and the classic double parabolic curve.
The two qualifying runs are scheduled for saturday, 10.30
and the semifinal/final for sunday at 11.30.
