A very tough super-g, the most difficult in recent years on a thrilling “Beltrametti”, a party between France and Italy, but also of Mikaela Shiffrin who gets a very important result, all seasoned by the presence of Roger Federer at the parterre. In Lenzerheide it was pure spectacle and, even without a blue podium, we celebrate the final triumph of Federica Brignone who wins, the first Italian ever, the super-g World Cup; with the exit of Elena Curtoni, who started two numbers before the Aosta Valley, success became arithmetic for Fede, who played his worst seasonal race in the discipline where he won three times in a few weeks, but who can smile ( even if at this point re-entering the fight for the general cup is a mission impossible) for a trophy that is his fourth CdM after three in 2020, and the third specialty (with giant and combined) like never before. The race went to a fabulous Romane Miradoli: on a very tough slope made even more complicated by the tracing of Mauro Pini, Petra Vlhova's technician, the 27-year-old transalpine showed all her technical ability to get on a podium for the first time. levels, and immediately on the highest one. Many smiles, however, also arrive for Mikaela Shiffrin, second at 38 cents after having enchanted in the more technical sections, for 80 very heavy points from a "coppone" point of view and, in the first post-Olympic disaster race, an answer to all the criticisms (for the most simply shameful for a champion, on and off the track). The third place is taken by Lara Gut-Behrami, demonstrating the quality of the podium, 88 cents away after a super start, and it is a pity that Marta Bassino, amazing until the end of the central wall, did not hit the first top 3 of the season in the discipline for just 2 cents. Behind the Cuneo, fourth, there is Ragnhild Mowinckel (+ 0 "94) to precede Tessa Worley, good with the number 4, after having seen Puchner, Raedler and Tippler come out in the series, finishing sixth at 1" 37 with a wide margin on Weidle, Gisin and Brignone, ninth at 2 ”20 ex aequo with Laura Gauche (again France for an amazing team result).
