Gut-Behrami, Bassino and Brignone shorten on Vlhova and Gisin: everything is increasingly open

The World Cup rankings after the Crans-Montana super-g: blue out of the virtual podium, but the giant of Kronplatz and the fast races of Garmisch can draw an incredible ranking before the World Cup.

Petra Vlhova's "zero", the same or almost the same for Michelle Gisin (29th), a good 8th place and 32 points for Marta Bassino, but above all the third place for Federica Brignone and the first for Lara Gut-Behrami. The super-g of Crans-Montana has further shortened a World Cup ranking which, in just over 300 points, from the leadership of the Slovakian to the current 7th place of the same holder of the crystal ball, sees all these in the race pretenders, considering that 15 races remain to be played, if the giant jumped at Semmering will be recovered, equally divided by specialty (4 each, except the descent with 3 races left). The regrets today are above all for Sofia Goggia, who would have been very close to Gisin's second place without that exit a few tens of meters from the finish, but thinking that now the giant of Kronplatz will arrive followed by downhill and super-g in Garmisch, an even shorter ranking is likely before the world championships in Cortina, to then experience a last month of thrilling cup. Of course, with the four slaloms in March Vlhova and Gisin remain a step ahead, but everything is really open even for Gut-Behrami herself, and who would have said it just a few weeks ago in the case of the Ticino woman who commands from her side the super-g ranking (with Brignone and Bassino still in full swing). WCSL chapter of super-g: in view of the next race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (31 January), there is no good news for Elena Curtoni and Sofia Goggia: today's exit in fact brought them back to the border of the top ten positions, ergo the Valtellinese will again have bib number 1 on Kandahar unless suddenly absent, with the penultimate from Bergamo to be able to choose her odd number. Vlhova, who paid a very high price to start first today, is behind him and will end up in the draw for even numbers from 2 to 20. As all the technicians and athletes claim, it is time to change this rule that now heavily affects the races of many important athletes.
