It was the race of the blue dreams, just think that there were six victories in seven races of the season in the World Cup, with three athletes in the first three places of the specialty ranking, even if one of these missed the appeal in the super-g Olympic and was certainly the most suitable for this “simple” technical context.
Sofia Goggia is missing today to the blue team who did not find the medal in the third women's race of these Games, and will be highly anticipated (but also pay attention to the Delago sisters ...) in the descent that will in fact begin on Saturday with the first test, in which the Bergamo-based woman should regularly take part, even with all the unknowns of the case due to her physical state.
Federica Brignone, who in January proved to have an edge over all in super-g, had already said before leaving for China that this would be her most important race, even more than the giant where then was exalted by finishing second, but the same Aosta Valley after the race confessed to the microphones of Rai Sport that she understood, after skiing on the track on the eve, that it would be tough. The same analysis by Paolo De Chiesa (who had talked about it with us last night in the episode of "Green Ice") unfortunately turned out to be perfect. “Yes, yesterday I was upset seeing the track, I hoped it would go faster than expected, but in reality when the first ones went down I realized it would be easy.
The wall was not ... I have to accept it. Sorry, of course, for how I'm skiing this year in super-g ”.
Marta Bassino, at the end of seventeenth between Curtoni (10 ^) and Marsaglia (22 ^), cuts short: "It seemed to be a more technical track, but there was already little curve at the top and even the snow was easy - the analysis of the native of Borgo San Dalmazzo in the interview granted to Simone Benzoni - In any case I enjoyed doing it, now for me combined and team event ".
