Perhaps a little more was expected, or rather there were all the possibilities, considering the competition context and the form condition, to do even better. And this already says it all about the strength of the blue squadron for women (4 victories and 9 podiums since the beginning of the season), given that the St. Anton super-g gave Marta Bassino a 2nd place and Federica Brignone's 5th place. , in addition to the 14th square of Elena Curtoni (still conditioned by bib 1) and some points (4) for Roberta Melesi.
Out of the others, on a very difficult “Karl Schranz” to interpret, and certainly the greatest disappointment was experienced, for different reasons, by Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia. The Aosta Valley, on the podium in the first discipline race in Val d''Isère, lost a lot in the first half of the race and admitted: "Today I should have done more, I saw the first two athletes on the video and I saw them go long. , so I braked - he explained to Physi.org - The good final part is not enough, I have to keep working to find the right feeling even at speed ”.
For Goggia, after the triumphal descent on Saturday, an exit from the scene after just ten seconds of the race: “Unfortunately at the third gate I took a step, I lost the ideal line and I practically stopped. Too bad, I wasn't able to express myself as I wanted, but these are the races.
I look forward to the next round in Kranjska Gora ”. Where two giants will be held, Saturday 16 and Sunday 17, on the Podkoren one which, on January 6, 2018, gave Sofia the last podium between the wide doors.
