Crans-Montana bis, for the eighth seasonal descent that could already decide the destinies of the World Cup in the queen discipline. Sofia Goggia hopes so, who would take home the third crystal ball of her career in the event of a "+35" (for example, a 2nd place against the 5th of her direct rival) on Corinne Suter, now 65 points away after having preceded her by two positions, tenth against twelfth, in a difficult first race on Mont Lachaux for both. The blue again opted for the number 7, the Swiss Olympic champion in office always for the 5th, for the appointment scheduled for Sunday starting at 10.00 (live on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport). Mirjam Puchner, fifth in race-1, will open the contest followed by Nufer, splendid fourth, Siebenhofer and a Vlhova (bib 4) who will have to get fifteen points to hook Mikaela Shiffrin at the top of the general, after 29th place today. Between Suter and Goggia we will see Flury, after a competitive Gagnon (8) and the returning Weidle (9), provided that the German feels it after giving up the first descent following the great blow suffered by falling in the second test on Friday. From number 10 to 12, all-blue sequence with Elena Curtoni, Nadia Delago and Federica Brignone, called to level up for the top ten goal. With the 13th, he will go in search of the encore Ester Ledecka, with Tippler and above all Huetter (15), but also Scheyer for an Austrian trio, after the Prague one. Out today with the '1, Lara Gut-Behrami has tacked on 17 and will precede at the gate Gisin, very competitive today, and Ragnhild Mowinckel again candidate for success, even if the bib 19 (in fact obligatory, returning to the top ten of the WCSL specialty after the 2nd place of the first descent) may not be the best for the Norwegian. The Italians will be the same as in race-1: with the number 21 Nicol Delago, with the 30 Francesca Marsaglia, finally Dolmen (41) and Zanoner (44) on their second outing in CdM and Pichler with bib 48.
