So much was missed, for a sensational and unrepeatable result.
Two medals arrived from the Beijing 2022 Olympic descent, on an almost entirely blue “Rock” in Yanqing. Sofia Goggia in silver as only she could have done after what happened 23 days ago in Cortina, Nadia Delago in bronze and on the first podium at these levels, after having touched him several times in the CdM.
It is Corinne Suter, who adds to the world gold of a year ago also the Olympic one, to break a wonderful hat-trick, given that at the moment of the descent of the Swiss, Sofia and Nadia commanded in front of Elena Curtoni, also capable it is a practically perfect proof.
The scream of Goggia at the finish line, when the green light indicated -0.41 on the teammate, was the scream of all the Italians, to dream of a legendary encore like Seizinger in the 1994 and 1998 Games. enough for Suter to cancel it, but it remains a simply unforgettable silver, with the red-cross champion (and for the Swiss national team there are four titles in these Olympics) who earns 34 in the final stretch, making the difference, probably, even with those materials that on the Chinese snow have proven to have something more.
But that Nadia Delago in third place, very good at containing in the central section and unleashing in those final twenty seconds, where she held up the pace of the winner to take a beautiful medal, preceding Kira Weidle by 14 cents who, instead, right in the sliding section lost the bronze.
