In Cortina another blue seal with a splendid Elena Curtoni, but the first thought of the same winner of today's super-g is for the Bergamo-born. There is a fear of a sprain in the left knee, in the next few hours it will be understood how serious.

Italy that celebrates and trembles at the same time, because there is so much concern about Sofia Goggia's conditions, from Cortina to Milan, where in the afternoon the Bergamo champion will have a decisive visit to understand the condition of her left knee, which suffered a major twist in the fall of a super-g in the Scarpadon area which then saw Elena Curtoni bring another success to the Avalanche Rosa.
The latest from the federation speak of "an alleged left knee sprain, assessed in the next few hours by the FISI medical commission in Milan, probably in the late afternoon". News is awaited for the evening, it is clear that the fear of involvement of the ligaments can only be there, just two weeks before the Olympic Games and in full swing for the World Cup, even though today's "zero" has reduced the chances in this sense.
Elena Curtoni herself addressed her first thought to her teammate to the microphones of Rai Sport, a few minutes after having been certain of her second triumph in CdM, the first in super-g. “I went straight to Sofia, it's a bittersweet day for me, I really hope it's nothing serious for her. If I have to talk about my race, I am clearly satisfied even if in a couple of points I held up perhaps a little too much, but basically missed the 'last critical step'.
Meanwhile, Federica Brignone dressed in red, becoming the leader of the super-g with 50 points of today's 4th place, 19 more than Curtoni herself and with 45 on Goggia, for a specialty podium still all blue.
