Sofia Goggia and ... four blue in the top 15, in the St. Anton descent that enhanced the characteristics of Rulfi's girls.
If the cover is by the triumphant from Bergamo on the “Karl Schranz”, the back cover is all by Laura Pirovano, splendid fifth in today's race, after having already sent signals in Val d''Isère. It is the best result of the career for the 23-year-old from thirty, quite clearly given that previously she had only reached a top ten, in the combined last February in Crans-Montana (10th place). "I am quite amazed at my performance, I honestly did not realize how much I was really going during my descent - Laura told the FISI press office in the post race - I did not expect such a placement, it was strange because in the past weeks I had struggled a little, but it was exciting to see my name in that area of the Cassifica.
We skiers live on cents, seeing that minimum gap from the podium (11 cents, ed) burned me, but it becomes a stimulus to try to improve myself in Sunday's supergiant ”.
Yes, because on Sunday there will be a race where the blue could aim even higher, with Elena Curtoni herself on the attack after today's eighth place, just 3 tenths from the podium in her 200th race in the Italian Cup. World. "Unfortunately I missed a decisive corner to bring speed down to the finish line - the analysis of the Valtellina, who lost so much in the final stretch - I had always done well in practice and unfortunately I extended it on the day of the race. We are all very close, three tenths less and I would have been even further ahead, this placement makes me even more willing to prove my worth in super-g.
Unfortunately I am 10th in the specialty ranking and I will have a very low number (almost certainly the '1), we will try to do well anyway ”.
Marta Bassino was very fast in practice, today she suffered a little more, with 13th place at 1 ”71 from Goggia, but she says she is“ quite satisfied despite a few flaws here and there. Now I focus on the super-g, I don't know the layout yet but we have had three days to learn the roughness of the track well and we will launch without fear ”.
Federica Brignone, 15th at 7 cents from her teammate and behind Petra Vlhova herself, on a day where she potentially should have gained on the Slovakian, is not happy at all with her result: "I'm not satisfied, I had the right decision once I left the starting gate, but then I was unable to translate my desire to do well onto the track.
The Sunday race is an opportunity for redemption, we will find many bumps, we need to understand how the track will be laid out ”.
