A Sofia Goggia who returns to the podium and places a serious mortgage on the downhill World Cup, but also a very high level Federica Brignone in the bis descent of Crans-Montana, which saw the Aosta Valley finish seventh, just 33 cents from Priska Nufer.
There is a hint of regret, even in the words of the Faith itself, because a podium would also have changed the prospects for attacking Shiffrin and Vlhova in the general classification, while the gap remains above 200 points. “Seventh place at 0” 33 I'm sorry, because I'm always there for a matter of cents and it starts to annoy me a bit, today it was up to me to go faster in the initial part.
I am satisfied with my race, with what I did from half down. Next weekend will be better, Lenzerheide is one of the tracks I like the most, I've never been on the podium and so it will be a goal. I'm going home now because I've been away since January 10 and I need three days to unplug. I was the first to go to Beijing and the last to return ”.
Four Italians qualified downhill for the CdM finals in Courchevel-Méribel: in addition to Goggia, Nadia Delago and Curtoni there will also be Brignone, while the first excluded is Nicol Delago, 26th and with many regrets for today's exit, after a fabulous first intermediate. Sister Nadia, today 21st, talks about it: “With yesterday's race I was very happy, because the tests here did not go well and today I kept a lot in the lower part, I was also very physically tired. I am very sorry for Nicol, because he is falling apart making excellent intermediates: today he was doing very well, he was very loose. It's a shame".
