Moved at the finish line, after realizing that she can do it and, even with all the necessary precautions, play with the best on the most important day, that of next Tuesday's descent in which to defend her Olympic title.
Sofia Goggia is there, she closes the first test of Yanqing in 12th place and the confirmation that the sensations are the right ones, arrive in the interview granted to Rai Sport. "I am very happy, after Cortina it was already a miracle to arrive here - said the woman from Bergamo to Simone Benzoni's microphone - I had no room for doubts today, I left calmly trying to stay on my feet and feel the supports and the outside, understanding the reactions of the knee and, while pulling hard braking, how the times are there.
The Olympics are the place where children's dreams come true, being here is beautiful ”.
Federica Brignone, who finished 2 "42 from Priska Nufer, did not have a great feeling in the first approach to the Olympic descent: the Aosta Valley will play for a place for the race as early as tomorrow, with the second training that will compare her with Curtoni, Nicol Delago, Bassino and Marsaglia for the third and fourth bibs, as Nadia Delago is already certain to be there alongside Goggia. “Even the descent is ... very easy - explained the silver in giant, again to Rai Sport - There is the passage to the top, which none of the first has guessed; I tried to pull it, but I jumped out the door almost 20 meters. We are in selection, so we will have to study it well for tomorrow, while today I have combined all the colors ... ".
Nadia Delago started first, finishing 15th and second blue at the finish line after Goggia. “I wasn't comfortable starting with the 1 on a new track, but in the end the track was easier than I thought. I was wrong in 2-3 points, tomorrow I'll try to do better. Sofia? I am very happy for her, that she got off well and without pain ”.
Elena Curtoni: “I actually like the track, the feeling is good even if the approach was strange without references. It won't be easy to turn the page after the super-g, but I'm calm and happy to have another chance. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll be in qualifying too ”.
“In a combined key, the test was ok - added Marta Bassino - I don't know yet if I will do the descent, now the video analyzes will be fundamental to understand the various passages of this track”.
