Gut-Behrami, the triumph in the first descent in Val di Fassa and the desire not to think about the general classification, which now leads with 29 points over Vlhova. Siebenhofer: "It hurts to lose for two cents ...".

In just one day, with the triumph in the first of the "VolatA" in the World Cup, she became the multiple winner of the season with five wins (4 in super-g, today the first downhill), she reached Erika Hess at 31 in the maximum circuit, second Swiss ever behind Vreni Schneider, perhaps unattainable with 55 pearls in the CdM, and took the top of the general classification, dreaming of the second absolute crystal ball after that of 2016.
A dream day for Lara Gut-Behrami at Passo San Pellegrino, but the Ticino champion doesn't really want to hear about points and numbers, she now finds herself in front of 29 points in Petra, still an excellent ninth in the first of three fast races in Val di Fassa. "For once I won the race on the planes - explained Lara to" Blick ", after celebrating on the podium with Jasmine Flury's bib (number 6), having lost her 7 ... - The snow was different compared to the tests, I struggled to feel the ski in the central part, but I recovered at the top and at the bottom. The cup? We go forward race by race ".
Already first and third in the world descent (as well as in the first two squares of the super-g of Cortina 2021), but with reversed roles, Suter and Gut-Behrami could also fill up with regard to the specialty cups in fast disciplines, given that the holder of that descent is now 150 points behind Goggia after today's 3rd place, which satisfies Corinne only partially. “This is a very short descent and does not allow for errors - the words of the reigning world champion - It is nice to have this internal competition with Lara, but it is equally true that each one is aiming for the best for herself. For me a good result, but I would like to do better tomorrow ”.
The regrets of the day, especially for having conceded a few cents too many in the final stretch, belong to Ramona Siebenhofer, one step away from the first Austrian victory for women in this World Cup season. The Wunderteam sprinter was only 2 cents away from beating Gut-Behrami: "It hurts when you lose so little, but I'm satisfied with my ski, I'm really getting in shape and, if it were for me, the season could go on even more than a few weeks...".
