What if Sofia was also in the fight for the general? Sunday's super-g will give us some answers ...

The World Cup rankings after the descent of St. Anton: Goggia in third place, with many other fast races on the horizon this January, but the solidity of Vlhova is scary.

And if Sofia Goggia was also in the fight for the general classification, with identical chances compared to Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone? Considering the domination of the Bergamo downhill, with this margin over rivals in two completely different races such as Val d''Isère and St. Anton, it is right to ask the question also thinking about a month of January full of fast races, with three other appointments between the double of Crans-Montana (followed by a super-g) and then Garmisch-Partenkirchen, also in that case with SG after the descent. The Bergamo-based, after today's triumph, is third having exceeded 400 points, ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin and with the possibility of approaching Michelle Gisin with the super-g tomorrow, who will then unleash on Tuesday in the Flachau slalom. Of course, for the three blues, going to get Petra Vlhova is a very tough mission, with the Slovak at +235 on Sofia and with almost 300 points of margin on Marta and Fede, always close to each other behind Shiffrin and Liensberger, both called to a great race tomorrow on Karl Schranz. As for the downhill cup (5 races are missing), Goggia has extended to +60 on Corinne Suter and there are already a hundred points on Breezy Johnson, the only one together with the blue to always take the podium in the three races so far disputed (with triple third place for the American), and over 150 on Tippler, Stuhec and Ledecka. Really not bad, while the specialty WCSL now sees Sofia herself second behind Suter, with the possibility of choosing her bib after the Swiss, with Curtoni sixth and Brignone now down to eighth position, while Bassino, Marsaglia and Pirovano, still climbing, will also be in Crans-Montana in the draw for even numbers from 2 to 20.
