Splendid second place of the Cuneo, just 16 cents from the success in the hands of the Ticino, new red bib. For Brignone 5th place ... so-so, out immediately a messy Goggia.

A thrilling super-g in St. Anton, thanks also to the tracing of Marco Viale, the French national team technician who enhanced a Karl Schranz even tougher than yesterday's descent.
And so, the second specialty appointment rewards one of the greatest interpreters of this discipline: Lara Gut-Behrami writes 27 in the calculation of victories in the World Cup, 13th in super-g, also taking the red bib of the new leader in front of Corinne Suter, now third 2 tenths from Ticino, and a splendid Marta Bassino. The Cuneo-based woman closes second, just 16 cents from what would have been her first speed success (but she is mature, and how ...), after having already finished in place of honor last January 26 in Bansko behind Mikaela Shiffrin (today we still remember absent).
Eighty very heavy points in overall terms, even if the possibility of taking it home could also be there, with Gut-Behrami who conceded something at the bottom, saving himself with a champion number. And after Suter, who thus gives a double podium to Switzerland, there is Austria off the podium with Tamara Tippler, in any case a great fourth at 45 cents after the downhill podium.
Who smiles less, and did not hide it just after crossing the finish line, is Federica Brignone: 3rd in Val d''Isère, 5th today at 72 cents from the winner, but after having lost an eternity in the part high, playing every podium chance.
The one who had won on the "OK", Ester Ledecka, instead made a lot of mistakes, finishing sixth at 1 "33 and 15 cents ahead of Michelle Gisin, who snatches important points from Petra Vlhova, who after a great start got messed up and had to settle for a top 20, 2 ”42 from Gut-Behrami.
Whoever messed up, or rather immediately committed a fatal mistake, is the triumph of the descent 24 hours earlier: Sofia Goggia came out after about ten seconds of the race, suffering a sausage before slipping away, without damage as she is enough well, even if the blow was much stronger, Francesca Marsaglia who entered a door 50 meters from the finish. Laura Pirovano was also soon out, fresh from the top of her career yesterday with the 5th place downhill.
