The most beautiful ending, at least so far, of these Cortina world championships.
A splendid comparison on the edge of cents, only nine in total, between Lara Gut-Behrami, Mikaela Shiffrin and Katharina Liensberger; the new giant champion is the red-cross champion, for a joy expressed this time without much hesitation by the Ticino. On the microphones of Rai Sport, then, Lara demonstrated her usual calm and lucidity in the analysis of what happened: "It is my most incredible World Cup, I had never won a gold and now I find myself two - the words of Gut-Behrami - It's nice to go back to expressing myself at a certain level also in giant, where I lacked physical strength and mental energy to get to the end of a heat like today.
If they had told me four years ago, after breaking my knee, that I would be back in this state of form, I would have signed up. A dedication? To those few people who were close to me when almost nothing worked ”.
Interviewed by Simone Benzoni about ten minutes after the mockery suffered for only two cents, Mikaela Shiffrin proved to be the same lady, she who is still chasing that world title in giant that is missing in the collection that now counts on ten world medals, three in only Cortinese review where on Saturday, in "her" slalom, the champion of Eagle will go in search of a five consecutive legend
