A dedication to "Ambrosi", the cow brought home as a prize for the victory in the second descent of Val d''Isère (to which the cowbell received today will bring), a lot of joy and lightheartedness in the post-race but, at the same time, a fierce determination in wanting to think about the next competition already, to try poker in five specialty tests as did Marta Bassino in giant.
Sofia Goggia exits Race 1 of Crans-Montana with another seal, her second on Mont Lachaux after that of 2019, the tenth overall at the World Cup level, for a double figure reached in the history of women's blue skiing only by three other athletes, namely Compagnoni, Kostner and Brignone. And it is already a mini-escape to look for the second crystal ball in "his" discipline, with 140 points of margin over Breezy Johnson (incredibly always third in each of the four descents so far disputed), but also fifth place in the general at 271 points from Vlhova is in the fast lane on Shiffrin and probably Bassino.
Yet, as the Bergamo rider explained in the post-race, "I had a mix of sensations crossing the finish line, because with all the wind I took from the first to the last door, I was happy in terms of specialty classification, knowing that Suter had finished further away, but I never thought I could win.
After the interruption (following its descent and that of Bassino immediately after, with the number 10, ed) the wind dropped a little, but the snow was certainly more sticky and it was difficult for the others ".
The analysis of the Olympic champion is wide ranging: "Today it was more difficult to make gaps, on a short and easier track, but it is equally clear that it is not easy to compete in such different conditions, even if I do not suffer from the long day. waiting, but I manage to fill the spaces bringing more concentration in the race.
