Three athletes in the top five, even if they missed that victory which at a certain point seemed very close indeed.
It was the Austrian Elisa Moerzinger (always on the blue track, far from being a coincidence), at the first podium of her career and then finishing in 2nd place, to prevent Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone from accessing the semifinal in the case of Bergamo and the final for the Aosta Valley, which still comes out with a smile also from the giant parallel of Sestriere.
One hundred and fifty points obtained in 24 hours and now Faith is still in third place in the general classification of the World Cup, but "only" 260 points from Mikaela Shiffrin, today out in the round of 16 by the hand of the winner Direz, and 11 lengths from Petra Vlhova, before the speed weekend in Bansko. “Of course, yesterday was a tough day from every point of view - the Aosta Valley confirmed after the race - but at the same time beautiful. I was tired, but after qualifying in the morning, I again charged to play this game that I really like. I tried, everything is decided on the details and it was not long. "
A few more regrets have it Sofia Goggia, who after having overcome in a miraculous way the round of 32 against the Norwegian Norbye, to whom he recovered the half second suffered in the first run, took out Wendy Holdener (who seemed to be able to become the favorite after the exits of Shiffrin and Vlhova) to then go out in the quarterfinal bitter with Moerzinger, after messing around at the start and ... again on the red track which in fact became lethal for anyone in the decisive phase. In the end the 5th place, winning the two fights in the "losers scoreboard" confirmed how Sofia had found the feeling to play for the podium too. "Too bad because I had found the right rhythm, after a difficult start - confirms the Bergamo - We had trained well in this discipline and the result confirms it, even if at a certain point I hoped to be able to get even more".
