The third place in Courchevel to restart: the words of Marta immediately after the race. Brignone (exited from the top 7 of the WCSL): "I have to reset, as soon as I hit the maximum ... I'm wrong".

A podium with a special flavor, the eighteenth of his career, the twelfth in giant. On the other hand, we are talking about the holder of the crystal ball in the specialty between wide doors and, after the two exits of Soelden and Courchevel 1, today in the encore on the Stade Emile-Allais there was so much need to find Marta Bassino there in front to play it. The top 3 result has also arrived, important in terms of confidence in the first place, given that in terms of points the gap from Shiffrin leader of the discipline is wide (220 lengths, there are still 6 races), but today it is far away in the thoughts of the Cuneo woman who staged a great second heat, with the only error in the attack of the first wall which probably cost her also the place of honor. “I needed to regain my skiing and confidence - Marta commented to Simone Benzoni's microphones at Rai Sport - after a slightly more tiring start to the season than in previous years. It is a podium that gives me the awareness of being able to play it, I needed it. Now we celebrate Christmas at home, then immediately Lienz ”. Speaking of the Austrian race, scheduled for December 28th (slalom will follow on Wednesday 29th), there is no good news for Federica Brignone, today out in the 2nd heat and out of the WCSL top 7, with the possibility of starting in the first sub-group only in case of further absence of Lara Gut-Behrami. For Sofia Goggia, descent to 16th square and with the hope of leaving at 15 only in the event of at least a forfeit (after the positivity at Covid) between the Ticino, Alice Robinson and Katharina Liensberger. “As soon as I try to shoot ... I'm wrong - the bitter comment to Rai Sport from Brignone - I have to reset and maybe it would be better to have time to train rather than compete immediately in Lienz. Already there I will have to completely change my attitude ”.
