We were used too well from last season, let alone after the feast in the last two super-g between Sankt Moritz and Val d''Isère, but for the second consecutive giant a blue podium did not arrive between Soelden and Courchevel 1, rather Federica herself However, Brignone finished far from the top 3 after the mistake made in the 2nd heat, even if he saved himself for a 7th place finish. And the Aosta Valley champion, already quite angry after the 1st heat for the burrs in the final, cannot rest: "I'm blocked by tension, I can't ski and I'm afraid of making mistakes, consequently I don't have control of what I do while I go down - his severe analysis - I completely freeze my head and body, I go down "hard" as if my legs had been cemented.
I make an incredible effort, I lack fluidity. I don't know if it is a matter of not having made a giant in a while, although in Killington I felt freer and better. I don't know if it is the fact that I know I ski well that affects the result, blocking me completely ”.
She did not reach the finish line, exiting when she could have fought for a position close to the top 5, that is the goal of the day, a Sofia Goggia who smiles thinking about the quality of her performance, also considering that in the first heat she paid 1 "75 also because with the bib 15 it was already very complicated to do better. Of course, the leadership in the general was lost to Shiffrin, but the Bergamo woman never wanted to talk about this. "I took a hole in the first part of the wall, which was a bit in the shade, my ski got stuck and it was fortunate that it didn't fall - explains Sofia her exit - Even though I didn't finish the race I'm happy with my skiing in the second heat, a great starting point to restart.
In the technical disciplines Shiffrin is almost unbeatable, what I can do is give my best in giant and maybe be able to be close to the podium. I'll have to start again from the first part of the second heat: you don't always get what you want, but this is a good starting point ”.
Elena Curtoni, 27th: “I managed to get into the second heat thanks also to the fact that the track was marked a lot and no one was able to slip through. Maybe my skiing was not the best, I'm starting to blame a bit the fact that we don't stop at Lake Louise. Tomorrow there is another race, the head will have to be there immediately to gather the energy and give everything ".
Marta Bassino's disappointment was evident after the fatal crash in the 1st heat, then the Cuneo-based woman entrusted her thoughts to the FISI press office to explain a difficult day: "I took an internship and slipped away, it was a shame because I felt good. Fortunately, on Wednesday I immediately had another chance to take my revenge, I am already focused on this new opportunity ”. To unlock and also launch the Italgigante.
