The first Italian woman capable of winning the Olympic downhill title that gives the women's national team the 100th victory in the history of the World Cup.
Simply perfect, like the second descent staged by Sofia Goggia in Crans-Montana: the third pearl on Mont Lachaux (she won already in 2019) means consecutive poker of victories in the specialty, like few in history (even if the record of 11 signed from Annemarie Moser-Proell is far ...), the eleventh overall at the World Cup level and the fourth season as Bassino and Vlhova. The Slovak leads in the general, but now Sofia is also in the fray with the third place at 211 points from Petra, even if the Bergamo is thinking only of getting closer and closer to the second crystal ball of the downhill career (now there are 195 margin points on Johnson).
Let's also add that no blue, not even Isolde Kostner, had ever managed to win four runs in a single year: "I'm happy with my race and to be able to share a podium with Elena (Curtoni, splendid third), who since childhood was the my nightmare because she won all the races - the Olympian smiles at Simone Benzoni's Rai microphone - After 20 years we find ourselves up there in a World Cup competition, it's a double happiness.
Today was not easy, especially with the first numbers it was really dark, but I made good use of the slopes where it counted ”.
Goggia's maturity can be sensed on the next goals, because now Sofia is really always looking ahead: "We live for the next race, I think day by day and I want to improve myself as an athlete, already tomorrow there is a new race waiting for us and, after the award ceremony, I will archive this success as I did yesterday. He dedicates it after his father and ... Ambrosi? To the federation for the 100 victories ".
