The round of controversy and anger of Lara Gut-Behrami, who renounces the third goal of the giant of the Lenzerheide finals, reaches the finish line and immediately leaves the parterre without a word, in evident controversy with the track designed by Gianluca Rulfi, but in reality (as the Italian coach himself confessed) on clear instructions from the FIS to slow down the speed, as seen yesterday in the 2nd round of the male giant.
Italy is still in the running for podium and victory with Marta Bassino, just one tenth from Mikaela Shiffrin, while Federica Brignone paid off, seventh at 1 ”39 and obviously disappointed. “It seemed like yesterday's heat traced for Kristoffersen - said the Aosta Valley to Rai microphones - After losing the pace it was impossible to regain speed, I just didn't make it to ski. Lara's controversy? I saw her before the race, she was tired and angry about what happened at the beginning of the week with the cancellations, I'm sorry for her but it's her choice and I can't judge her ”.
Marta Bassino confessed to having reached the finish line “shocked by the sensations experienced in the race, you really felt like you were skiing very badly and I thought I'd take a life. Obviously the result at this point is fine. The track? I immediately saw Fede struggle, but I thought it was more skiable: it is not easy even for the technicians, since the first part is very steep and you have to limit your speed, also because you could hardly see the terrain ".
Finally Elena Curtoni, who spoke of a “really difficult giant also for visibility, even the males were struggling yesterday, but you have to grit your teeth and bring home the last heat of the season”.
