They have proved to be the reference of this discipline, by now the clues are so many that the proof is ... unassailable.
Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone, you choose the order, gave a thousand emotions also in the second, and at the bitter end, the heat of the giant number 2 of Courchevel, with the Cuneo area slipping right on the most beautiful, with the absolute best time for less ten gates from the end, and the Aosta Valley who had made the mistake shortly before costatole, after all, what would have been the first seasonal hurray and also the seal n ° 16 in CdM, or the coupling to the plurivittoriosa always in the blue house, a certain Deborah Compagnoni.
The holder of the crystal ball, as always frank in the post-race, does not want to have regrets: "In that part of the wall I was leveling myself and I ended up on the ground - she explained to physi.org - In our sport you can make mistakes, or you can do everything right. This is skiing and I am satisfied with what has been done; I said to myself “get up, get up and push, push, push”, but I had to remain lucid because that part is really difficult and so it is until the end.
I had left to attack, obviously victory was in the sights. In recent years I have worked hard on never giving up and that the race is never over until you cross the finish line. I'm happy for Mikaela, but also for Tessa Wiorley because she is an example. Now I want to continue skiing like this and go to Val d''Isère to interpret the races as I like, without fear, as was the case in the first heat on Saturday ”.
Fede admits: “I haven't done a lot of speed since September: my first goal is the super-g on Sunday, I need the descent to better prepare for the last race. Then if something good happens, even better ”.
Marta Bassino showed all her disappointment for an exit that costs, in addition to the possible consecutive trio, also the red bib as a specialty leader (which returns to Brignone): “I'm angry, I'm sorry because I was doing well. But they are ski races and they are like that, they are things that happen. My fall was really a moment, I didn't understand much.
