The World Cup rankings after the second descent of Val d''Isère: now Sofia is also in the fray behind vlhova, there are three blue in the top six.

She hadn't worn it since that day at the Are finals in March 2018, in which she resisted for 3 points to her friend-rival Lindsey Vonn to take home the crystal ball of the queen discipline.
The downhill leader's red bib, which Sofia Goggia wore for the first time in Cortina, is back on her shoulders today after the victory in the second round on Oreiller-Killy, even if in the next downhill of Sankt Anton she will also take it to the race Corinne Suter, hooked in the ranking of specialties from Bergamo (with a first and a second place each, the Swiss and the blue are equal in ... everything). The good news of the day, analyzing the specialty WCSL, also concerns the ascent of the Olympic champion to third place behind Suter and Ledecka, which means a more "quiet" draw already from the Austrian appointment, while Mikaela Shiffrin has left the ten and, if she were to return to Sankt Anton, she would end up in the draw of even numbers (which would not be a great damage for her, on the contrary), as would Marta Bassino.
About the American, certainly the first two days of competition on the "O.K." they were not unfavorable to her overall, although she professed not to think about it in any way at this time; the direct rivals have collected crumbs, only today Michelle Gisin has brought home a fair booty (29 points), which earned the Swiss overtaking Shiffrin and Bassino for second place behind Vlhova, but only the super-g on Sunday could change the cards a bit.
Not so much for Vlhova, far from at ease in Val d''Isère (even if in a super-g like that she should get away with it), as for the blue in particular who can recover heavy points. Right now they are sailing from 4th to 6th place, with Goggia overcoming an injured Brignone and with a great desire for redemption, the same one as Bassino today out of the points. The subsequent technical Semmering races, with the Zagreb slalom as the first appointment of 2021, will be complicated and putting hay in the farmhouse in a race like the one tomorrow becomes fundamental.
