CaSTA 2015: Bad weather does not stop the races

05/02/15

With the platoons that now rest, attention has gone to the women's European Cup FIS race at the Baranci, a slalom disputed with the new “sprint” formula that saw the athletes contend for the victory in three hard-fought heats.

At the end of today's race, the French Anne Sophie Barthet won the trophy "Alpine Troops" which took into account not only the result of today's race but also yesterday's giant.

Under a heavy snowfall with sometimes very violent gusts of wind, the race of the patrols competing for the Friendship trophy was also held in Dobbiaco; the team from the Alpine Training Center (Italy) won in front of the German and Spanish representatives.

The evening appointment is in Sesto, with the Alpini who will draw a spectacular torchlight procession on the slopes of Monte Elmo, while the Fanfare of the Julia Alpine Brigade will entertain the audience with a vast repertoire of military music.
