This time the Olympian makes almost nothing wrong and beats the Swiss, with Johnson third again. In the top 15 area Curtoni and Pirovano, far away Bassino aiming for tomorrow's super-g like Brignone (today in the pits).

Finally Sofia, one year after her last success (in super-g in Sankt Moritz) and for the eighth time in her career at the World Cup level.
Sofia Goggia's descent number 2 on the Oreiller-Killy in Val d''Isère, who this time rewards (after five podiums without ever winning) the rider from Bergamo in the great duel with Suter, who yesterday beat her. This time Corinne has to settle for second place, 24 cents from the Olympian, who made almost nothing wrong and found that balance which, mixed with her healthy madness, makes her truly irresistible.
A challenge, today's one on the "OK", which brought the same protagonists to the podium as yesterday, given that Breezy Johnson confirmed herself on the third step of the podium, just 27 cents and after having wasted a margin of over 7 tenths on Goggia after the initial stretch of sliding, with a couple of fatal US-style rotations before the Beltrametti curve and compression.
Compression that, fortunately, did not damage today (with a slight shift of the reference door), even if it left aftereffects on Federica Brignone (in addition to Schmidhofer and McKennis Duran, already in the pits since yesterday), who gave up the race after the reconnaissance in the morning, feeling pain when inserting the boot. He will try to be there tomorrow for a crucial super-g in view of the World Cup.
At home Italy you can also partially smile for the tests of Elena Curtoni and Laura Pirovano: the Valtellinese was very fast up to the stretch of the woods, settling at the end of a placement only in the top 15 which does not say the quality of her performance. The thirty was repeated after yesterday (14th), to finish 15th at 14 cents from the teammate.
