The victory in the first race in Val d''Isère (and on Sunday a thrilling super-g awaits us) earned us the overtaking at the top of the overall, even if now Shiffrin will have many favorable races in the series. In the downhill cup, Breezy seems to be the only one able to keep up with the Olympic champion.

The fourth success of the season obtained by Sofia Goggia, who opened the third consecutive stage of the World Cup dedicated to speed, taking the descent on the Oreiller-Killy, makes the situation up there more and more interesting, in the upper quarters of a general classification which sees the Bergamo player play with Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova, the main favorites for the crystal ball after what happened to Lara Gut-Behrami, out for at least four races following the positivity at Covid that emerged on Friday.
There was the overtaking of Super Sofy against Shiffrin, who will try to respond immediately on Sunday in a very interesting super-g, even if the feeling is that only with a giant leap in quality, starting from the brace on Tuesday and next Wednesday in Courchevel, Goggia can keep up with the pace of the three-time winner of the World Cup.
That will be the key, also hoping that Mikaela will grant something in the technical disciplines (after Courchevel there will be many giants and slalom in series, from Lienz to Zagreb, Maribor and Flachau in the first two weeks of 2022), but also in super-g since there will be 9 in total and so far the American has taken home two third places and a sixth ...
Speaking of descent (where we will return to compete only in mid-January in Zauchensee), it clearly emerges that only Breezy Johnson has kept Goggia's pace also in terms of specialty classification, at -60 thanks to the three second places always at shoulders dell''azzurra, while we are already around 150 lengths to recover for Puchner and Suter.
The WCSL of the queen discipline proposes Mirjam Puchner herself higher and higher, just ahead of Curtoni (eighth) while Nadia Delago is very close to entering the top 10 in the world. Who would have said that at the beginning of the season?
