It is an Austrian double, after Christina Ager's success in race-1, also in the second super-g of the European Cup in Zinal, played 3 hours away from the first (to make up for the day lost yesterday due to bad weather). Back in front of all a great talent like Elisabeth Reisinger, who captures the seventh gem in the continental circuit after a thousand injuries, the last of which suffered in February 2020 in the World Cup in Crans-Montana, with a terrible downhill flight that cost her breaking of the crusader; the 25-year-old from Upper Austria had already been able to go straight to the points last Saturday, in the second round of Lake Louise which represented for her a new comeback after almost two years of competitive stopping, then she had been third in the super-g of this morning and now here she is back to win, almost 3 years after the last time in the European Cup. 24 cents were enough (not a few out of even a minute of the race) to overtake Jasmina Suter, tenth in the first super-g and definitely more on the ball in the replica, with Christina Ager still on the podium, third at 37 cents behind her compatriot. Also in front is Estelle Alphand, fourth (+ 0 ”48) after the second place in the morning, then in half a second 5th place ex aequo for the French Paslier and the other Austrian Heider, with Tessa Worley seventh at 61 cents. No top ten not even in race-2 for Team Italy, but the closest to catching it was Verena Gasslitter again: 12th place which confirms the excellent return of the South Tyrolean, 1 "11 from Reisinger, definitely far from the other blue with Heloise Edifizi who can smile for 17th place (gap 1 "45), while Giulia Albano and Ilaria Ghisalberti still sail in the top 20 area as in super-g number 1, respectively 19th and 21st at 1" 55 and 1 "65.
