Perhaps the best race of his career, for interpretation on a thrilling track, but also for the intelligence used on a Karl Schranz to be treated with gloves.
Sofia Goggia gives an impressive show of strength, dominating the third seasonal descent in St. Anton, for an encore three weeks after the triumph of Val d''Isère and a red bib that is increasingly ... red, given that now the Bergamo is alone in front of everyone, on the day she takes home victory number 9 in the World Cup, the sixth in the queen specialty.
The only one to contain the gap below the second is Tamara Tippler, already fast in practice and in the end a great second at 96 cents from the Olympian, while Ledecka and Suter, clearly the two most anticipated rivals for the entire season, they have to settle for 4th and 5th place, respectively 1 "10 and 1" 16 apart, beaten by a Breezy Johnson again third as in the two descents in Val d''Isère and with Ilka Stuhec on a par with the Swiss , for an important placement by the Slovenian. And there is still a lot of Italy in the top ten, with Elena Curtoni losing only in the final corners the possible fifth podium of her career, on the day of her 200th race in the CdM, finishing seventh at 1 "34 from Goggia, ex aequo with Lara Gut-Behrami.
Then there are Marta Bassino, eleventh at 1 "71, and Federica Brignone twelfth at 1" 78: for both points, however, useful thinking of the overall, even if Petra Vlhova was very good and beat them both (with a penny on the Cuneo area).
