In the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee descent the seal of the Ticinese, far away in the cup but eager to recover what she lost due to a positivity that forced her to the pits at a crucial moment. "I lost a few kg of muscle mass, we'll try again tomorrow."

The only victory of the season came last December 11, in the first super-g of Sankt Moritz, before the fall of the following day and the positivity at Covid that made her lose five races (the two speed races in Val d ' 'Isère and three giants from Courchevel to Lienz) and with them, almost certainly, any chance to fight for the crystal ball already vanished in the 2020/21 final in the duel with Petra Vlhova.
Lara Gut-Behrami, however, is a simply extraordinary champion and, in the second post-return race after having already made 5th in a great comeback in Kranjska Gora, she went on to conquer a success, the one in today's Altenmarkt-Zauchensee descent, with a taste special and that arrives almost 11 months after the double in Val di Fassa, the last hurray of the Ticino in the queen discipline (now it has reached 12, ed).
“This was just what I needed to find pace after two really strange months - confessed Lara to SRF Sport - It is also important to have done well for three days in a row, considering the tests. I arrived here with very few days of skiing in the last few weeks, I also lost a few kg of muscle mass, but winning helps a lot.
The super-g? I can't wait, this is a beautiful track not only for the descent ”. And with 140 points to recover in Goggia (after 4 tests out of the 9 scheduled) in what, for the champion of Comano, is really the favorite discipline and of which he holds the World Cup, we can be sure that Gut-Behrami will bite on Sunday literally the track to seek another success.
