Downhill number 2 in Sankt Moritz, the fourth of the women's World Cup, and a thousand topics and interests on the track after what happened today, from the blue double to Sofia Goggia's injury.
Let's start from here, or rather from the specialty leader from Bergamo who, barring unforeseen events, will still be at the starting gate with his left hand broken and operated on in these hours, at the La Madonnina clinic in Milan. The return to Sankt Moritz in the evening, after the intervention of the FISI medical commission led by Dr. Andrea Panzeri on the second and third metacarpals which suffered a compound fracture. "See you tomorrow at the gate", promised Goggia to the fans, confirming what the Federation had already indicated on the fact that everything would be done to avoid missing a very important match for many reasons.
In the draw for the bibs, Sofia drew the number 9, with Saturday's race starting, and it should be on a complete track given that the forecast weather is much better than today, at 10.30 (live TV on Rai 2 -Eurosport 1) with Priska Nufer to open hostilities.
Then here's compatriot Flury, fourth in race-1, and Federica Brignone who, returning to the second group, caught the number 3 and will precede Lara Gut-Behrami and Nina Ortlieb, the latter in serious difficulty today with poor visibility but very fearsome if tomorrow's descent will be "normal".
Johnson and Mowinckel, with numbers 7 and 8, will anticipate Goggia, while the Austrian trio formed by Puchner, Huetter and Siebenhofer, with a great desire for redemption, we will see him from 11 to 13. With number 14 Corinne Suter, looking for of the fifth podium in as many seasonal speed trials, and today's winner Elena Curtoni closes the group of the best, with bib number 15.
All nine Italians will be present in Sankt Moritz, given that after Nadia Delago (17), Pirovano (20) and Nicol Delago (25), they will return to the race after missing the first descent Bassino, at the start for thirty-first, and Melesi with the 50. Among them, Karoline Pichler looking for other points with the number 42.
If Mikaela Shiffrin tries to repeat herself and starts with number 21, Petra Vlhova and Wendy Holdener also return, the first pursuers of the American in the general classification, at the gate after Bassino in an attempt to collect points and gain confidence in Sunday's super-g .
