The first descent on Mont Lachaux sees the Czech conquer the third success in CdM, in a difficult day for the blues. The Bergamo rider is still the best and saves herself by losing a handful of points from Suter in a specialty cup key. Shiffrin remains in command of the general with Vlhova and Brignone far from the top.

Ester Ledecka is back, even on skis.
In reality, after the Olympic gold in the parallel giant snowboard, the Czech champion had touched the medal in Beijing also in combined, but in a season that was not easy for her in speed, today in Crans-Montana she was able to pull out of the hat. an authentic masterpiece, necessary to beat an amazing Ragnhild Mowinckel.
The Norwegian, already very fast in practice, had to bow to Ledecka for 21 cents, who took home the third seal in CdM, the second downhill more than two years after that magic in Lake Louise. And in third place, 42 cents from the winner but fabulous in the central stretch of Mont Lachaux, among other things starting with number 19 when the snow had already "heated up" a lot, here is Cornelia Huetter back on the podium and now completely rediscovered .
Austria also places Mirjam Puchner fourth, but 98 cents away, in front of the Swiss disappointed with Haehlen and Gisin, divided by a cent, fifth and sixth and with regrets for the combined Olympic champion, very fast up to the final stretch where she handled really too much. Seventh Gagnon at 1 "19, just ahead of Tippler, here is Corinne Suter ninth, 1" 22 from Ledecka and with the chance to recover ground in Sofia Goggia, in a specialty World Cup key, only partially exploited.
The gold of Yanqing in fact earns just 5 points to the Bergamo, who had already confessed on the eve of not feeling in top condition, far from it. For Sofia a descent in control, just to defend that haul of 69 lengths (now they are 64, two games from the end), and 11th place at 1 ”47, in a day certainly not positive for the blue squadron.
Goggia was still the best, ahead of a tenth of Nadia Delago, 13th, while Elena Curtoni (1 ”59 her lead) is 15th and Federica Brignone 16th, at 1” 82.
