Shiffrin (n° 7) before Goggia, Curtoni and Brignone: it is already the eve of a super-g show in Sankt Moritz

The startlist of the race that will close the speed appointment in the Engadine on Sunday (starts at 11.30): Gut-Behrami, with bib number 13, wants redemption and will start after the American and the top blue trio. Bassino (n° 19) also wants to do well, there will be the debut in the specialty for Lara Colturi.

A super-g show, the second of this World Cup season for the women's sector, on a track that adapts very well to this discipline and will be able to offer, with its fabulous performers, a perfect race to close the Sankt Moritz triptych . Italy is looking for another success after Curtoni and Goggia in the two Swiss descents, on Sunday starting at 11.30 with live TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport. The layout will be of the Norwegian brand, with Ragnhild Mowinckel certainly among the favourites, she already on the podium in Lake Louise, and starting with bib number 11. We will start with a lot of Austria and Switzerland, and those of Flury, Huetter and Gisin herself, before Corinne Suter (red bib after the victory in Canada) with number 6, will already be excellent references for Mikaela Shiffrin and the blues that will follow. From the 7 of the American, who defends the leadership in the general and here has always done very well even in super-g (and is back from a 6th and a 4th in downhill), to the n° 8 of Goggia, the 9 of Curtoni and on the 10th of Brignone, it will be pure show for a thrilling moment of racing. And after Mowinckel, be careful because there are Miradoli and the one who, beyond the exit of Lake Louise, is the natural reference of the discipline: the Olympic champion Lara Gut-Behrami, who won her first super-g here last year (in front of Sofia Goggia) to then fall into the compression before the "Rominger" the following day, seek redemption and with his number 13 he will scare everyone, including the Italian super national team who, in terms of precedents in Sankt Moritz, signed two braces also in the last 3 years (and did not compete in 2020), with Goggia-Brignone in 2019, divided by a penny in favor of the Bergamo area, and Brignone-Curtoni in the last performance 12 months ago. Tippler with number 15 could be a dangerous element, ditto Haehlen with number 18 preceding the descent of Marta Bassino, who in case of a particularly "closed" track could also try to score a podium coup. Nine blues in the race: after the top trio and "Bax", we will see more than thirty (headlights on the No. 31 worn by Petra Vlhova, who must try to seize good points in order not to stray too far from Shiffrin) Nicol Delago with the 35 , Roberta Melesi (36), Nadia Delago (38), a Laura Pirovano (n° 40) who can also aim for the top ten already achieved at her debut, and Karoline Pichler with 41. Fifty-nine athletes at the start, with bib number 53 here is the debut in a super-g of CdM for Lara Colturi, already in the points between giant and slalom.
