Bassino and 2nd place in the super-g of St. Anton, a breath away from Lara Gut-Behrami. "I made a mistake on the ice fall, but it's a great result". And looking at the cup rankings ...

A big smile like that, even if the first speed victory seemed very close as it happened to Bansko last January, when he was second both in the downhill behind Elena Curtoni and in the super-g the following day, behind Mikaela Shiffrin.
Marta Bassino, however, is now ready to do very well in this discipline as well, as confirmed by her 4th place in the opening in Val d''Isère, and practically on every type of track; today's second place in the super-g of St. Anton, just 16 cents from the winner Lara Gut-Behrami, is worth a lot from many points of view.
Fourteenth career podium, 3rd place in the specialty standings just 15 points behind the new red bib from Ticino (even if in the middle there are also Ledecka and Suter), and again on the virtual podium of the overall, breaking through 400 points and approaching both Michelle Gisin that the leader Petra Vlhova. With two giants like those of Kranjska Gora on the horizon ...
"I am very happy, but I did not expect it having made a mistake at the attack of the ice fall - she analyzed with the usual lucidity immediately after the race, on the microphone of Simone Benzoni (Rai Sport) - I thought to have thrown it away, but seeing me there second, only 16 cents from Lara, makes me very happy.
It was really a tough super-g, the last stretch a giant, but it went very well like that ”. For the first "extra giant" triumph it will be enough to wait not long, with such a skiing.
