The danger comes from Switzerland and it was easy to predict, even before Friday's No. 1 descent.
From the first two fast races at Passo San Pellegrino, waiting for tomorrow's super-g, Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter come out with full podiums and confidence, seriously endangering the possibility that Sofia Goggia will win her second World Cup. World of descent. With only the descent of the finals in Lenzerheide, scheduled for next March 17th, the reigning world champion is now 70 points from Bergamo, while the Ticino is -97; translated, a second place would be enough for Corinne to win her second consecutive crystal ball in the queen discipline, but for Lara another success is needed, provided that the compatriot does not arrive immediately behind her.
"Today it was more difficult with little light on the track, but I did more direct lines and I felt good - commented Gut-Behrami after her double which earned her a further extension at the top of the general against Petra Vlhova, now distant 107 points - The general? My goal is to concentrate on every race, I still have fewer than the slalom races and I consider the World Cup an event more unlikely than feasible ”.
On Sunday Lara could close the accounts with the first cup, that of super-g, and the only possible rival (but she finds herself at 195 points and basically can only hope for a serious mistake by her teammate) is Corinne Suter , holder of that trophy. "I took a step forward compared to yesterday - said the world champion about today's race on" La VolatA "- I am satisfied with the performance and the result, now we are also thinking about doing a good super-g".
