Ttionfa also downhill, takes the top of the overall standings of the World Cup and continues to enchant.
Lara Gut-Behrami is also the owner of the brand new “La VolatA”, in the first of the two descents (tomorrow the encore at 11.00, Sunday the super-g) at Passo San Pellegrino for the historic debut in the maximum circuit of Val di Fassa.
With the two world golds around her neck, the red-cross champion slips the victory n ° 31 in the CdM, anticipating Ramona Siebenhofer by only 2 cents (who seemed to be able to give the first success to women's Austria this season, separate world championship with Liensberger) and smiling again even downhill a year after the double win in Crans-Montana, on a track that is not ideal for its characteristics, but which Lara played as a champion, earning the decisive 16 cents in the final stretch at 130 km / h.
Gut-Behrami who thus overtakes Petra Vlhova at the top of the overall, with the Slovak who, however, responds for her part by finishing ninth at 1 "12 from her direct rival (and on a par with Michelle Gisin, third in the standings) and is now behind 29 points. The third place of the day (with a gap of 26 cents) is taken by Corinne Suter, now second at 150 points from Sofia Goggia in the specialty ranking, the same margin that the Bergamo-based, obviously in the pits, keeps on Breezy Johnson who places fifth , 1 tenth from the Swiss and 3 cents behind Weidle, fourth.
Attention, however, given that with two races to go, Lara Gut-Behrami herself is also in the running, at -197 from the blue and, in the event of an encore tomorrow, she would then have a huge chance in a beloved race like that of Lenzerheide at the finals.
Behind the first five of this descent number 1 on the "VolatA", the gaps become wide with Kajsa Vickhoff Lie at 82 cents, Marie-Michele Gagnon seventh at + 0 "84 and here is the first blue, Laura Pirovano, eighth at 9 tenths in the before the home races for the thirty who is now a certainty of the blue speed. Behind him is Elena Curtoni, 11th at 1 ”17 and preceded by 5 cents precisely by the duo Vlhova-Gisin, while Tippler and Puchner disappoint in Austria by not hitting the top ten. Speaking of Wunderteam, the comeback of Cornelia Huetter after almost two years, who had a good race finishing 2 ”64 behind the winner, should be underlined.
