For the encore with the same bib, the n ° 5, used yesterday and ... almost four years ago in the magical Olympic gold race in PyeongChang.
Sofia Goggia is on the hunt for the sixth consecutive downhill victory, and she is clearly the big favorite for an encore in Lake Louise, after beating the competition in the first Canadian round. It is clear, something will change in terms of approach, technique and materials (but also mental in some cases), for many rivals who may be able to get closer, but the Bergamo-based continues to demonstrate an edge in this discipline.
From 8.30 pm (live TV on Eurosport 2 and Rai Sport) we will find out ... everything, with Kira Weidle to inaugurate this second descent, which will then see Stuhec, Corinne Suter (yesterday fifth, over two seconds) and Mowinckel as protagonists before the blue tip , followed in turn by Venier and Gut-Behrami, with the Ticinese who explained that she felt better yesterday after the physical problems accused in recent weeks.
Federica Brignone has caught a good n ° 8 (important, since the track is not in exceptional condition and already yesterday with the highest numbers many have paid) and will try to do better than 13th place in race-1, then here is Breezy Johnson , “Mrs Solidità”, second yesterday and starting with 9 before a series of athletes who could attack the podium area. We are talking about Nadia Delago (bib number 10), an amazing sixth just over a tenth from Siebenhofer's fourth place, who will start today with 13: among them we find Tippler, disappointed by the first descent, and Nicol Delago who instead can only smile for a return from eighth place.
Ester Ledecka (bib 15) will have to change gear significantly, but it is difficult to ask Elena Curtoni (n ° 17) much more on a track that the Valtellinese just can't manage to swallow, while the Olympic Downhill is ideal for the characteristics of Mirjam Puchner, "forced" to number 19 by her ascent in the WCSL, returned to the podium with third place on Friday. Between Nicole Schmidhofer (comb. 20), who returned yesterday to the World Cup after almost a year, and Mikaela Shiffrin (again with 31), 26 ^ in race-1, we will see the sixth blue in the race, Francesca Marsaglia, with the number 23 to find the scoring area.
Finally Roberta Melesi and Karoline Pichler, at the gate respectively with 42 and 51.
