A podium of smiles, from that of the winner Marta Bassino, of course, to a Meta Hrovat reborn on the home track, which today gave her the third podium of her career, the second on Podkoren (she had already been third in Kranjska Gora in the February 2020) and double the value if we think that the 22-year-old Slovenian suffered serious back problems, in the period of the two giants of Courchevel. And there is the smile of Michelle Gisin, yesterday able to equal the record of Vreni Schneider, or to become the second Swiss in history to get on the podium in all five mother disciplines, and today again at the best result of her career with the second place that is paired with the third yesterday (it was his first top 3 in giant). Thirteenth podium of his career (with only one success, the Semmering slalom), but above all 80 very heavy points considering the general classification; the 27-year-old from Engelberg, in fact, is now -60 from Petra Vlhova and considering her quality also in speed, not to mention the extraordinary performance she had so far in slalom (there will then be four in March, at the end of the cup), Michelle is now a very credible candidate for the absolute crystal ball. He spoke in the post race at RSI, obviously in his practically perfect Italian: "It was another beautiful race for me, difficult and beautiful to ski - the Swiss analysis - I think all the girls do are better adapted than on Saturday, I think we have seen a very high level. I can say about Marta that she skies incredibly well, she won every time she reached the finish line in giant size, so it makes me happy to have reached 6 tenths. World Cup? I take one race at a time, one step after another and now I'm looking forward to the Crans-Montana races; finally we will compete in Switzerland, after the super-g canceled in Sankt Moritz ”.
