Marta Bassino and a good 8th place in today's super-g in Crans-Montana, also because Vlhova and Gisin have not collected anything. And on Tuesday on the "Erta" it will be fun ...
Sunday 24 January 2021 3 minutes reading time
A placement for which, on the eve, he certainly would not have signed since the focus of this weekend was all about the super-g at the end of the Crans-Montana triptych, with the second descent on Saturday avoided just to train and think only to today's challenge in a specialty that is increasingly his.
At the end of the day, however, the eighth place is not to be thrown away for Marta Bassino, also considering that Vlhova and Gisin came out practically dry (the Swiss picked up 2 points, to be honest) and that the Cuneo, recovering 4th place in the general (1 point ahead of Goggia), she is back 206 points behind the Slovakian cup leader. And especially considering the risk taken on that jump halfway up the Mont Lachaux: "Yes, I was quite scared about that jump, I only thought about staying up at any cost - Marta told Rai microphones after the race - That's okay , now there is no time to waste and I am already focused on Tuesday's race ”.
Oh yes, because on the horizon there is already the giant of Kronplatz, on that "Erta" that Marta particularly loves: in three editions of the spectacular challenge at "Moelgg's house", it has collected two third places (2017 and 2019) and a quarter (2018). Never before has he reached us in the top moment of his career, fresh from four specialty races won out of the five disputed. What else to add?
