Goggia immediately ok also in Zauchensee: 2nd time in qualifying behind Weidle, problems for Johnson

The Bergamo player on the ball in training number 1 towards Saturday's descent, while the American does not start due to the blows suffered after a fall in training. Gut-Behrami is there as well as Ledecka, but Nicol Delago (here on the podium in 2020) is there, fourth at 7 tenths from the top. Quiet return to Brignone.

A first test already important for several reasons, the one experienced today on the snows of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee in the perspective of the fourth seasonal descent of the Women's World Cup, scheduled for Saturday (with super-g on Sunday). First of all, important news: Breezy Johnson risks not participating, she who is the first pursuer of Sofia Goggia in the specialty ranking, after this morning, once she decided not to start in training, the American revealed that she had fallen in the days I went through training (he did a long block of work together with the blue ones on “La VolatA” at Passo San Pellegrino) and having to evaluate his physical situation day by day. He is clearly at risk for the race, with Friday's training mandatory to be held in order to be there. For his part, Goggia immediately pressed on the accelerator and confirmed himself very fast even in the Salzburg area: 2nd time for Sofia, 15 cents from a newfound Kira Weidle (who lived a very difficult first part of the season), ahead of 27 to Lara Gut-Behrami, today back in speed almost a month after the test held in Val d''Isère, before the positivity at Covid, and brilliant with the third place obtained. Very well Nicol Delago, fourth at 72 cents (best time until the carousel with the corners in the woods) on the track that in 2020 gave her the last podium in the cup, then we find Christine Scheyer, who can do really well here, fifth at + 0 ”85 just ahead (4 cents) of Ester Ledecka, who had skipped Val d''Isère and finds herself on a good level. Miradoli and Gagnon close within the second, then the gaps become wider for Siebenhofer, 9th at 1 ”45, and Francesca Marsaglia 10th at 1” 57. Just out of the top ten of the day Nadia Delago (very fast at the top) and Elena Curtoni, respectively at 1 "71 and 1" 73, both ahead of Corinne Suter and Mirjam Puchner, from whom we expect a change of gear in the race. It was the day of the return (not competing from Lienz) also of Federica Brignone, discreet 20th at 2 ”16, waiting for Pichler and Melesi. (updating)
