In the fast lane? It seems so, also because after Sunday's super-g always in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (weather permitting, given that new rainfall will arrive), and the world championships in Cortina, there will be three other speed races like the one on "La VolatA" of Passo San Pellegrino. Lara Gut-Behrami seems ready to take the leadership of the World Cup (then she will have to suffer in March, where there are four slaloms in the space of two weeks), now that she finds herself only 62 points behind Petra Vlhova following today's trio placed in the first appointment in Bavaria. First of all, the third crystal ball in super-g is getting closer and closer, with the red-cross champion who now has 140 points of margin over the defender Corinne Suter with three tests from the end, but it is the "coppona" who can and must become this point the goal of the Ticino, who knows how to win such a challenge and is currently simply two hands on all rivals in this discipline, but she was also scary in the last downhill and in the last giant disputed, finishing second in both Crans-Montana and Kronplatz. "I am satisfied because the track was not easy to interpret - explained Lara to the RSI microphones, after signing her 29th success in CdM - I did a rather" dirty "race, despite this I found myself in front and this is one thing that gives satisfaction. The big difference is the confidence I have now compared to the past months; now I feel good and allow myself to run my skis even though I'm completely out of line. World Cup? Experience has taught me that everything changes in a few months - his answer - In October many asked me if I was still able to win a race and now we are already talking about the overall World Cup. In the end you realize that you just have to ski well, do one race after another and then just so maybe you can play something big ". The umpteenth great day of Gut-Behrami, but also that of the first career podium, at 22, of a Kajsa Vickhoff Lie capable of taking advantage of both bib number 2 (but it was not at all simple without references) and a track so streamlined, to finally materialize in the race after having done very well several times in the downhill tests. Incredulous of her result the young Norwegian, like Marie-Michele Gagnon who, coming down with bib 29, took off the first podium of the season in super-g in Sofia Goggia. The Canadian veteran, far from the top 3 for almost 5 years, needed it so much, that is the combined success of February 2016 in Soldeu; after so many problems and injuries, even with the thought of leaving skiing, the nice North American has given herself a truly special and meaningful placement.
