Goggia flies to the 40th podium in the cup and sees the third crystal ball: "I told myself to continue on my path"

The third place in the encore descent of Crans-Montana means +75 on Suter (and 3rd place in the general, even if the engagement with Shiffrin and Vlhova is a mission impossible) with one race to go. Sofia's words after the race.

The return to the podium, the fortieth of her career in the World Cup, and another ten points earned against Corinne Suter, rejected by just 4 cents in the battle of Crans-Montana. Sofia Goggia can smile after the second descent on Mont Lachaux, not only for having immediately found the summit with 3rd place behind Nufer and Ledecka. The goal is only one, that is the conquest of the third crystal ball in "her" discipline, and now it is much closer since the Bergamo-born will present herself at the Courchevel-Méribel finals with 75 points over the reigning Olympic champion. Sofia is also third in the general at 175 points from the Shiffrin-Vlhova duo, but objectively it appears an almost impossible comeback for the calendar that we will have in the last eight races. Federica Brignone, 204 behind the American and Slovakian, can still hope after the great 7th place today, even if the spoils collected in the two days on Mont Lachaux did not live up to the expectations of the Aosta Valley. "Yesterday I accepted that I could not arrive earlier, considering my conditions - the first words of Goggia, released in the mixed zone to the correspondent of Rai Sport, Simone Benzoni - Today I told myself to continue in the rehabilitation process to return to a top condition, I'm very happy with the result. The fall of Huetter? A great fear, we have known each other since the European Cup and I feared so much ".
