A super-g not worthy of an edition of the Olympic Games, but which nevertheless sees the best interpreter of recent years in this discipline, Lara Gut-Behrami, crown a career by winning the only title that was missing from an exceptional palmares.
The Swiss champion triumphs in Yanqing, on the objectively easiest track of the season, less than 75 seconds with few technical difficulties which, in any case, Gut-Behrami interprets best in particular in the highest section between the two main jumps of the "Rock" , to go and get his second medal here in Beijing 2022 and his third career at the Games, the first gold.
It is the day of the great disappointment for the Italian national team, who dominated the CdM year with 6 successes in 7 races and three athletes in the first three places of the specialty ranking, even if today the most important athlete was missing. suitable for this slope, or Sofia Goggia who will try it from tomorrow lining up at the start of the first downhill test.
The best will still be Brignone, already silver in the giant, but this was exactly the race of Federica's golden dreams (with three seals in the season), who has to settle for seventh place with 66 cents behind, while doing almost nothing wrong and keeping the pace of the winner in the most technical part.
On the podium there are two athletes who know how to make the difference in the sliding section, that is Mirjam Puchner, second at 22 cents and with 4 tenths and a half earned to Gut-Behrami in the final, and Michelle Gisin who takes her second Olympic medal , third at 3 tenths, mocking Tamara Tippler for just 3 cents who had been exceptional until she entered the final gut.
Ester Ledecka does not confirm the Olympic title, but she is still an excellent fifth at 43 cents, Mowinckel sixth at 58 and perhaps slightly below expectations (but she would have needed a different track), then behind Brignone we find Huetter, who won at Garmisch ex aequo with the blue, Mikaela Shiffrin who is ninth at 79 cents after the great disappointments of the giant and slalom, and the other great Italian hope, Elena Curtoni, who closes the top ten at + 0 ”83. The same goes for Brignone, given that even the Valtellinese did not manage to express her true potential in this technical condition.
