Brignone: "Fair 5th place, I hope well for Sofia". Bassino complains: "Track on the edge"

The two best blue in the Garmisch super-g and their analysis by post race. With the wait for the diagnosis on the accident occurred in Goggia.

There is clearly disappointment in Italy, at the end of a Garmisch super-g that everyone dreamed of different, even if Federica Brignone's fifth place is obviously not a result to be thrown away, both in terms of overall standings (now there are 145 i points of departure from Mikaela Shiffrin) and for the race to the crystal ball in super-g, which sees Suter now 39 points ahead of the Aosta Valley. The main concern is related to the conditions of Sofia Goggia, who fell badly in the hell zone of a very hard Kandahar, waiting for news from the Garmisch hospital for the problem in her left forearm. Hard track, even too much according to Marta Bassino: “I didn't have fun, because the track was really at the limit - said the Piedmontese in the post-race - When that's the way you feel the skis that take you on the slabs and flap, you don't trust much anymore . I hope that the next races are more beautiful ". Federica Brignone's analysis is clear and serene: "Today I was unable to pull off my maximum, I did not feel well on the skis. The ground was strange, full of plaques and I didn't adapt well enough, but a fifth place is not so bad. I go towards the next weekend satisfied and I hope there is nothing serious for Sofia, because she and Rebensburg have suffered two bad falls ”.
