Alpine Skiingwomen's world cup

Lara Gut-Behrami doesn't look for an alibi: "I was fine, Goggia was the only one who knew how to adapt"

The Ticino woman, only 17th in the first descent of Lake Louise, spoke to RSI about her physical condition and the prospects for an uphill weekend. Suter half happy, but today the Swiss want a different race.

It was a really difficult opening of speed for Lara Gut-Behrami, called downhill and super-g to earn those heavy points, especially against Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova, to fight for the overall World Cup. If Corinne Suter, yesterday fifth at 2 "02 from an elusive Sofia Goggia, cut short talking about her revamped preparation (after the bad fall in training in September), but said she was" all in all satisfied with the result, but to performance level I lacked the basic speed from top to bottom ”, the other Swiss forward analyzed in detail what happened, speaking in the post-race-1 at RSI. It should be remembered that the Ticino champion, 17th in the first descent of the Canadian triptych with a 2 "74 gap, has been dragging on physical problems for a few weeks now, in particular breathing difficulties, so much so that she has carried out a check on the state of the lungs, which did not detect anomalies. "Physically I'm much better - Lara clarified immediately in the interview in Italian - Today (yesterday, ed) it was difficult to adapt, even if they cleaned the track as best as possible, and I think the only one able to do it was Goggia. She managed not to be influenced by the snow and to pull the lines she wanted, for example I tried to cut and I ended up in soft snow. Speaking with Corinne, I realized that she too never really entered the race ”. Then a joke about Lake Louise which, at least downhill, is not exactly the most suitable track for the technical characteristics of the 30-year-old from Comano: "Maybe this is not the track to find myself in a hurry, I take it as a good workout as I have been doing for years now. here. The important thing now is to feel good physically ”. What is certain is that in the super-g on Sunday, the rossocrociata champion will start as the main favorite, she who dominated last season in the discipline and won in the Canadian locality, in this specialty, in 2013, in 2014 and finally in 2016.
