The first race of the triptych in Switzerland smiles at the American leader of the general, but also in Sofia (injury aside) which earns another 20 points against Suter for the specialty ranking. Downhill WCSL: Nadia Delago leaves the first group, Brignone and Pirovano enter the second.

The third downhill of the season, the fourth speed race against the six techniques seen so far (I count that it will be drawn on Sunday after the super-g in the Engadine), which took place today in Sankt Moritz, certainly brought heavy points, thinking in terms of fight for the absolute World Cup, in Sofia Goggia and Mikaela Shiffrin.
Eighty points for the Bergamo native, net of the fracture in her left hand which clearly represents a problem for the next races, forty for the American who extended her lead, considering that Holdener, now at -59, and Vlhova who pays 85 points , did not jump into the first of the two Swiss descents.
Sofia, on the other hand, is at -100 from Mikaela, who even in the event of hooking up or overtaking the blue at the end of this appointment (even if super-g, in particular, is really open to any solution), will then have the triptych at the end of the year in Semmering, followed by the two slalom in Zagreb and then by the other technical races of Kranjska Gora and Flachau, to try the decisive extension at least compared to Goggia, with Vlhova who will have to give a signal already on the occasion of Sunday's race.
Two potential great rivals of the holder of the absolute cup, we are talking about Lara Gut-Behrami and Federica Brignone, are already paying for a very important delay: the Ticino girl is behind by 224 pts, the Valle d'Aosta almost by 300 but precisely with the last two races, between Sestriere and today, has launched important signals.
Downhill classification chapter: after 3 races out of the 9 on the calendar, Goggia sails with a nice +80 against Corinne Suter, whose constant performance is still exceptional and already suggests that the fight will still be reduced to them, even if Elena Curtoni with today's victory rose to third place.
Specialty WCSL: important changes in Italy, with Elena Curtoni jumping to fourth place, while Nadia Delago's "zero" costs the Beijing 2022 Olympic bronze medalist the first group of merit. In the second (for the draw of bibs from 1 to 5 and from 16 to 20) Federica Brignone and Laura Pirovano are back. Nicol Delago remains in the third, as well as Bassino who did not compete today, but we will see him again on Saturday in the second descent.
