A party for many, at the end of the penultimate super-g of the season which saw France treat themselves to a dream day, with three athletes in the top ten and the victory, 18 years after the last one in the specialty conquered by Carole Montillet, on 1 ° February 2004 on the snows of Haus im Ennstal (there are 17, instead, from the last of a Frenchwoman in the speed with success of Ingrid Jacquemod).
Romane Miradoli is the winner of a thrilling race in Lenzerheide, 14 months after breaking the giant crusader in Courchevel and for the first podium of her career in CdM. “It's incredible, I still have a hard time believing it - the 27-year-old transalpina told her colleagues at“ Ski Chrono ”- It's too good a day: I don't have the words. In reality, I didn't have great sensations in the first part of the track, then it went better even if there was little speed.
I had my plan in mind, I knew I could make a difference where the track turns more, where you had to dare to pick up speed. I believed it, I kept pushing and it paid off ”.
38 cents away, Mikaela Shiffrin took home a very heavy second place, flying +67 against Petra Vlhova, only 18th, in the duel for the general cup. And the Colorado champion, at the 117th podium in the maximum circuit, also received the compliments of a certain Roger Federer with whom he spoke for several minutes in the parterre.
Just two cents behind Lara Gut-Behrami, who was only partially satisfied with her performance, concluded a very good Marta Bassino who, at physi.org, does not hide her disappointment for having touched the first podium of the season in the discipline, lost in fact in the final stretch smoothness after having done very well in the "heart" of Beltrametti. “I'm very sorry for those two cents. At the beginning, when I arrived, I was happy for fourth place until I saw the time - confides the Cuneo woman - Honestly I felt I was skiing very badly, there wasn't a good feeling but the important thing was to hold on and attack and for this I am happy.
Now I live it day by day, bringing out the best in me for these latest appointments ".
Karoline Pichler, with the final thirteenth place, obtained the best position in the CdM: “Today was really tough, the sensations were certainly not good and it took a lot of courage. I tried to throw in everything I had. The gaps are still important, but it wasn't easy starting with 41, I made my best result in the World Cup so I'm happy. I dedicate this result to myself, I have always believed in it, but above all also to the Police who gave me the opportunity to train last year and to the national team for the work done.
We are a really good team, it is a privilege to train with the strongest team in the world which gives me incredible references. For me it is a 'unique opportunity'.
