Sofia's exit in the Bansko descent is the only negative note of the great blue day. Tomorrow will begin at 10.15 Italian to avoid the ... dark.

It was the only discordant note of a great blue day, with three athletes in the five and five in the twelve.
Let's talk about the exit of Sofia Goggia, fortunately without consequences despite the high-speed glide in the heart of a Marc Girardelli that the Bergamo has interpreted throughout the attack, without too much respect for a track from ... all or nothing like the '' soul of the Olympian.
The first of Bansko's triptych went badly and puts Sofia in the condition that she can no longer make mistakes, if she wants to play another crystal ball in the queen discipline, two years after the triumph of 2018; the detachment from Corinne Suter, red bib, is now 131 points but Mikaela Shiffrin could be the main danger, considering that in 24 hours she will compete again here.
And precisely in this sense, the decision made regarding the departure time is important: Saturday will begin at 10.15 Italian time (11.15 local time), or half an hour later to allow all or almost all athletes to have a uniform light on the track. In the heart of the track, in fact, today the differences seemed evident and Bassino and Vlhova in particular, with the bibs 31 and 32, took advantage of this factor.
Goggia, now 9th in the specialty WCSL, will almost certainly have the 1 or 3 as bib number (unless Schmidhofer gives up tomorrow too), certainly not the best.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico
Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
