Goggia is very fast on the "O.K.": third also in the last training, good Bassino and Brignone

"O.K." in every sense, both for the conditions finally at the best of an Oreiller-Killy that is preparing to host a grand opening of speed for girls (it was certainly not the same for the men's sector last weekend), and for what Sofia Goggia showed in the two tests that launch the Val d''Isère descents, scheduled for Friday and Saturday always at 10.30 (and Sunday super-g at 11.00).

Marta Bassino, and the good news of the day also comes from Federica Brignone who levels up and does worse only by 17 cents compared to the Cuneo area, preceding by 0 ”02 a Corinne Suter who, on the other hand, was decidedly hidden. While Petra Vlhova is far away, today at 2 "94 from the top, Laura Pirovano can smile, 21st at 2" 11 and ahead of Elena Curtoni (2 "23 behind the Valtellinese), Nadia Delago (2" 41), Francesca Marsaglia (2 "46) and Verena Gasslitter (3" 22).
