Everything seemed perfect, from the victory in the last pre-Olympic in Cortina, to a very high level qualification with the best time, more than half a second ahead of Charlotte Bankes who, while she flew in the semifinals, stopped sensationally in the quarterfinals.
Instead, in a sort of anticipated final against those who will then go on to conquer the first two steps of the podium, namely Lindsey Jacobellis and Chloe Trespeuch, the race towards the legendary gold encore of a Michela Moioli has stopped. the other ended the most anticipated day in the worst possible way, falling into the small final and getting a blow to the face and right ankle.
A Moioli who takes it out on herself for the result obtained: here are her statements to Fisi: “I made a mistake in the semifinal and in the small final I probably had to take a beat - the comment of the Bergamo-born - It had to go like this. I have a little pain in my ankle, but I got down on my legs so now I have to recover and I'm going to lick my wounds.
In the semifinal I started well, I paid a mistake and they overtook me ”.
It is essential to find the best Moioli within three days, given that another huge medal chance will be played on Saturday, in the team event where the blue leader will probably pair with one between Omar Visintin and Lorenzo Sommariva (but it will depend on the result of the men's race of tomorrow).
Meanwhile, Michela received the message from Sofia Goggia, who gave her the flag as standard-bearer at the opening ceremony, after what happened to the downhill skier with the injury in Cortina, in a relationship that has always been special between the two Bergamo champions. "You are my sister from Italy: whether you win or lose, simply always with you ... because you are Michela".
