Goggia smiles: "I didn't ski very well, but it's a great result". Curtoni: "Difficult to trust in these conditions"

The words of the blue (four in the top ten) at the end of the super-g number 1 in Sankt Moritz: Brignone disappointed, Bassino happy for ninth place on his seasonal debut in speed.

A smile at first only hinted at, then decidedly showy to the microphones of Rai Sport after the race. Sofia Goggia can be decidedly satisfied with what "combined" today in Sankt Moritz, in the second super-g of the season which confirmed her at the top of a discipline for which she had some doubts only before Lake Louise, but which sees her with the red bib on a par with that of Lara Gut-Behrami who today was able to beat her for only 18 cents. A wonderful duel between the Ticinese and the Bergamo-born, on the fourth podium in as many speed races and definitely in the running for ... everything, even the overall World Cup. "I am very happy with the result - explains Sofia immediately in the interview with Simone Benzoni, sent to Switzerland - At the same time I am aware of not having technically skied so well, also because there was little to see on the ground, when I went down the visibility was really flat. This race is a lot of stuff, I am proud of this podium but there is still a long way to go. Tomorrow there is another challenge, the accounts will be settled in the end ". Elena Curtoni was the second best blue at the finish, sixth at 1 ”74 from Gut-Behrami and just over half a second from the podium. "With this visibility today it was an even more difficult track - analyzes the Valtellinese, again on Rai Sport microphones - I was unable to push as I wanted, the difference was made by the attitude as demonstrated by Lara with her skiing. ". Federica Brignone, eighth, confirms her partner's feelings: "I knew that today with these conditions it would be hard to trust, but I struggled a lot while I was going down, I realized it". And then Marta Bassino, ninth and happy with her top ten in a "first" after having skipped Lake Louise. “The gap is important, but I'm happy. Virtually nothing could be seen, for me it is a good start hoping to do better tomorrow ”.
