The American champion, who has further increased the margin in the Cup overall with 3rd place in the Sankt Moritz super-g, will not participate in the race on Sunday to point to the giant on Tuesday and the races of Val d''Isère.

It makes the best of a "bad" result, since after the 10th place in Lake Louise he had a mad desire to win.
Mikaela Shiffrin knows how to handle these situations and, in the post-race of the Sankt Moritz super-g that saw her finish in third place behind the blue duo Goggia-Brignone, just 13 cents from the victory (which in the season won only in the two slaloms of Levi and Killington), he still sees the glass half full. "It was a good race, of course I would have liked to win and I tried, but Sofia and Federica were better than me." A bit like in the giant of Killington, when he was third just on the day of the other Italian double goal of the season with Bassino-Brignone.
And then on the run ... reason? The American champion will not take part, decidedly surprising, in the parallel slalom scheduled for Sunday (9.45 am qualifying, at 12.50 the final phase), to better prepare for Tuesday's giant in Courchevel, where he won last year, and above all the descent and the combined tour of Val d''Isère, scheduled for Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 December.
The margin in the Cup overall is always wider on the first pursuer, which is still Viktoria Rebensburg 271 points distant, with the same Brignone almost 300 points. And of the points of the parallel, evidently, Mikaela does without.
