Nadia Delago and the joy of the first top ten: "I can do more". Brignone satisfied, but the weather worries

Blue voices between the two runs of St. Anton: the growing Val Gardena, Fede aims higher hoping for a "normal" race on Saturday. And Bassino thinks of the super-g.

Not only Sofia Goggia. The Italjet that gives itself four more top 15 finishes in the first descent of Crans-Montana is that of a Federica Brignone who returns to the front on the descent, even if 9th place could have been a little more with a complete race and some more technical difficulty. "However, I am satisfied with my race - the analysis of the Valle d'Aosta at physi.org - There was a lot of wind for everyone, it was really a difficult condition and also the visibility changed with a veil after the break but it is part of the game, since we practice an outdoor discipline. I missed the president's jump, but I defended myself well and got my best downhill performance of the season. There is still room to do better, hoping that time will give us some respite ”. The concern is in fact linked to the weather in view of the race on Saturday, scheduled at 10.00 with ... some doubts. Encore descent that could see Nadia Delago improve again after the splendid 10th place today, the best result in the World Cup of the young girl from Val Gardena: "I am very happy, I did not expect it also because I was quite clearly wrong in the upper part in a curve. My sister Nicol wrote to me right away, I'll hear from her in the evening. Saturday I have to try to do better because I have room for growth ”. Second descent that will not see Marta Bassino as protagonist (registered with bib number 12, but the decision is made), as widely announced and even more so after today's 35th place, on a track that, in particular without the upper part, was all '' other than ideal for the characteristics of the Cuneo area: "I take this descent as a training in view of the supergiant on Sunday - said Marta - Saturday I will not be at the start, I will keep it as a training day to get ready for the super-g and especially the giant of Kronplatz next Tuesday, in the best psychophysical condition ".
