Just a question of hundredths. The first weekend of races on the other side of the ocean did not see any victories or podium places for the Dainese athletes.

Maria Hoefl-Riesch took fourth place in the slalom in Aspen (USA), just 12 hundredths behind the third place winner.

Great return to the high slopes in Lake Louise (Canada) for the world skiing championships: after two really difficult seasons, the Italian Werner Heel took fifth place in the Super-G and was just 20 hundredths from the podium.

Next weekend the men’s circuit will move to Beaver Creek in the USA, and the women’s circuit will be at Lake Louise on the same slopes where the men’s race was held this weekend.
