The Swiss still hit, almost like in St. Moritz, but the sides are reversed and this time also Mikaela Shiffrin was on track: Michelle Gisin is gold and Wendy Holdener bronze in the women's combined Olympic of Jeongseon.

Incredible the story of the sisters Gisin: after the gold of the major, Dominique, downhill in Sochi 2014, this time it's up to the smallest, never winner in the World Cup but silver combined in the last World Cup in St. Moritz behind Holdener. Only two other sisters had been both Olympic champions in alpine skiing, even in the same edition, the French Marielle and Christine Goitschel, respectively in giant slalom in Innsbruck 1964, Marielle was later succeeded by the older sister in slalom in Grenoble 1968. Michelle today has closed the descent to third place but then in slalom the Norwegian Ragnhild Mowinckel has ended up behind her and Lindsey Vonn, ahead of all downhill, closes in the most bitter way its Roman Olympic coming out in the upper part of the heats.
Moral of the story: Gisin is gold with 97 cents on Shiffrin that grabs the silver from the sixth position but doing a run far from perfect, better than she did Holdener who grabbed the bronze detached of 1 "44 from the teammate and reassembling from the tenth position, for Switzerland he is the first, historic Olympic gold in the specialty. Fourth place closes Mowinckel 29 cents from the podium, fifth the Petra Vlhová, eight positions recovered with the second best behind Beener and better than Shiffrin and Gisin, great sixth place for the Canadian talent Valérie Grenier, never in the ten in the World Cup , seventh the best Austrian, Ramona Siebenhofer, eighth the first of the blue, a Federica Brignone that regret the bad error in the descent even if the podium was still difficult to reach, the Swiss Denise Feierabend and the other tenth the Swiss on track, a really good Marta Bassino. Alpine skiing will close its program on Saturday with the unpublished, for the Olympics, team competition.
