A quality training in Dobbiaco, to regain confidence after a few days of rest in the middle of the Christmas holidays, and the blue are ready to play the fourth giant of the season, scheduled for Tuesday (10 and 13 the two heats) in Lienz, where even the Covid factor is unfortunately important, just think of the absence of Mikaela Shiffrin announced today.
Everything ok in Italy, with Marta Bassino leading Team Italy, strong in 3rd place in the last specialty race in Courchevel, who was already second in 2019 on the “Schlossberg”, just behind Shiffrin. "The podium in Courchevel gave me back a little confidence and awareness - the words of the talent of Borgo San Dalmazzo at physi.org - I spent the two days of Christmas with my family, and then moved to Dobbiaco where we did today training in optimal conditions.
Lienz is a very nice track, which I really like: two years ago I got on the podium and I'm very happy to be able to compete there again. I haven't had the chance to get my feet on the track yet, but the technicians reported excellent conditions ”.
Sofia Goggia, second in the general classification of the World Cup 115 points behind Shiffrin, must cancel the double zero of the last two giants in Savoy and has a good opportunity to score heavy points: "Too bad for Courchevel, but you don't live in the past - explains the woman from Bergamo - Despite the result, I think there is skiing in this discipline, it's just a matter of time to put the pieces together. A very old-fashioned track, this one in Lienz, a bit crooked with many bumps and a passage in the woods: a beautiful giant track ”.
Federica Brignone triumphed here in 2017 and is looking for confidence: “Lienz is always a beautiful stage, a very well prepared giant: it's a pity for the absence of the public. This is a track that I like very much, quite technical, but where you have to push making it a nice giant.
In Courchevel I wasn't able to express myself, but I'm skiing well, I have the right times and I hope to be able to give my best, to show what I'm doing in training ”.
