Two very important descents in the fight for the specialty World Cup, but also for a general classification that could have a new leader after this weekend.
In Crans-Montana it starts on Saturday from 10.30 (live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport), with race-1 on Mont Lachaux, where in 2021 Sofia Goggia dominated with a double on the track that gave her more career satisfaction, given that the Bergamo-born took the descent in the Canton of Valais also in 2019.
The discipline leader, who returned with the "Olympic miracle" in Yanqing, wearing an extraordinary silver medal around her neck, returns to the cup more than a month after the fall of Cortina and does so wearing bib n ° 7, to defend the 69 points of margin, three tests from the conclusion, against the one who took away her encore at the Games, Corinne Suter.
The Swiss, also not very brilliant in the two days of testing, will start tomorrow before Sofia, with number 5, while Lara Gut-Behrami will take care of the opening, choosing for seventh she opted for bib 1 (the Ticino could have turned on 15). They will immediately be out of artifice, given that after Tippler and Puchner (bad in training), with 4 there will be a Ragnhild Mowinckel who seemed very fast between yesterday and today. Between Suter and Goggia, maximum attention also to Joana Haehlen with the number 6, while Ledecka, Siebenhofer and Gisin propose many unknowns about their performance, in a race that promises to be very open anyway.
With 11 after the break here is Nadia Delago, fresh from the first podium at these levels with her wonderful Olympic bronze, then after the Val Gardena Gagnon, Weidle, Scheyer and Curtoni, with 15 before Federica Brignone who was quick in practice and he can aim for a good result, taking advantage of Shiffrin's absence to shorten in general as Petra Vlhova will try to do, just 17 points from the summit and with bib n ° 20 in this first descent.
