Austria sends a strong quartet into the race, while international top athletes such as Lara Gut-Behrami and Sofia Goggia lurk. The line-up looks like this: Mirjam Puchner takes the start number 9, while Super-G World Champion Stephanie Vernier wears number 15. Another ass in the sleeve is Ariane Rädler with start number 17. A special attention is paid to the former superstar athlete Lindsey Vonn, who, after her failure in Super G, goes into the race with number 21. Vonn goes on the slopes, which makes the competition even more exciting, such as Ski1.at reported.

For the audience, this will be the last World Cup race of the season of women, which culminates in a gripping finish, while the New Zealander Alice Robinson opens the competition. The expectations are high and the atmosphere is electrifying. With young talents such as the 19-year-old Victoria Olivier, who became a junior world champion in February, this event not only offers high tension, but also an outlook on the future of alpine skiing.
