Alpine Skiingwomen's world cup
The Swiss brace in the riot of Crans-Montana, with Gut-Behrami again winning after more than two years and a cup already very close.

It was a simply triumphant day for Switzerland, now increasingly close to success in the ranking by nations (thus interrupting the domination of Austria), with the brace in the first descent of Crans-Montana which was very much worth both for Lara Gut-Behrami than for Corinne Suter.
The Ticino was reborn on the Mont Lachaux track, returning to success in the World Cup after more than two years from that super-g in Cortina in January 2018: the first victory as a married athlete, after the wedding of two summers ago with Valon Behrami, and the 25th of his career. “Going down I finally felt free on skis, from top to bottom - Lara said after her test - We often put a lot of useless pressure and everything seems bigger, but today it was almost easy.
It was frustrating to continue looking for the little that was missing to go back, now I'm happy and I think I have a few more years to build something. "
And Corinne Suter also smiles in the post race, second to 8 tenths from his teammate, but more and more red bib of descent and, two races from the end, very close to his first crystal ball; the 25 year old Helvetic could crown the dream already tomorrow, given that there are 120 margin points on Ester Ledecka and 127 on Federica Brignone. "I don't think about it, but I will compete as I have done so far - said Corinne - Even today it has been a good test, albeit not perfect, and it is always nice to get on the podium in front of the home crowd".
