  • Patrick Lang's Column NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN
    Patrick Lang’s Column 19th January 2020 NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM AT SESTRIERE. A numerous and happy crowd enjoyed another day of exciting ski racing at Sestriere this Sunday in occasion of the maiden giant slalom parallel race organized on the final part of the sunbathed G. Agnelli course. After a series of intense one-to-one battles France’s Clara Direz prevailed in the last final beating little-known Austrian Elisa Moerzinger while Marta Bassino was 3rd after beating her teammate Federica Brignone, one of the two winners in Saturday’s race. After a round of qualification hold in the early morning, 32 competitors fought for points and honor on the short course which turned out to be tougher than expected for some of the favorites as Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova or USA’s Mikaela Shiffrin, both on the podium in Saturday’s giant slalom race. They of them didn’t survive the first rounds allowing Italy’s giant slalom team to celebrate another nice result with three of them ending among the top-5 as Sofia Goggia came in 5th. Clara Direz, who celebrated her first top-10 finish last month at Lienz, eliminated Shiffrin in the 2nd round while Vlhova lost in her first round by 0,05 seconds to Switzerland Aline Danioth who unfortunately suffered a bad crash in her following round. Alice Robinson from New Zealand also fell in the first round of 32 as well as Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg. The 25-year-old French racer, who has been racing since seven years on the World Cup tour, was able to score points in three different giant slalom races this season including on Saturday when she was 13th here.

The book contains political essays about people who are well known in Belarus and abroad and who had the most direct relevance to the contemporary history of Belarus over the last 15 to 20 years. The author not only recalls some biographical data but also analyses the role of each of them in the development of Belarus. And there is another very important point. The articles collected in this book were written at different times, so today some changes can be introduced to dates, facts and opinions but the author did not do this INTENTIONALLY. People are not less interested in what we thought yesterday than in what we think today.

I have two encyclopedias on my bookshelves. One was published before 1995 when many people were not in the position yet to take their place in the contemporary history of Belarus. The other one was made recently. The fi rst book was very modest and the second book was printed on classy coated paper and richly decorated with photos.

    MEDIA RELEASE 15/01/2019 Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) wins the SkiWorldCup Kronplatz and is crowned “Princess of the Erta”. Italy’s Marta Bassino finishes third. With a brilliant first run performance Mikaela Shiffrin beats Tessa Worley (FRA) by 1''39, laying the foundation for an astonishing victory in the second run. Italy’s Marta Bassino catches up to an amazing third place, equalling her result of 2017. First edition’s winner Federica Brignone finishes 6th. A crowd of 15.000 attended the race in San Vigilio di Marebbe-Kronplatz with great enthusiasm, enjoying a great show on a perfect track under a sunny sky. Mikaela Shiffrin’s first run was one to be remembered, with the current World Cup leader dominating thanks to a flawless performance with bib 5. None of her rivals manage to keep up: Tessa Worley (FRA), who finished 2nd on the Erta race of 2017, is beaten by 1''39, followed by a very strong Petra Vlhova of Slovakia by 1''42. The very first “Princess of the Erta” Federica Brignone, who also finished third last year, was not able to turn her bib 1 into gold this year finishing 6th by 1''61. The previous snowfalls might have had an impact on her race. Marta Bassino’s results after the first run were more promising. After her third place in 2017, she finished 4th by 1''47, with no limits for further improval in the second run. Francesca Marsaglia finishes 14th, local hero Karoline Pichler from Monte San Pietro also qualifies for the second run finishing 19th by a deficit of 3''15.
