â€œToday I don't know how it would have ended if Federica had arrived. It was just unfortunate, she made no mistakes. She and all the girls of Italy ski splendidly ". It is the thought of Mikaela Shiffrin, who in Bansko's super-g post spent words on honey for the entire Italian national team; on the "Marc Girardelli" there was a clear feeling already after the first descent on Friday, that only the American could have beaten the blue ones. And who knows that this may not be the case in Rosa Khutor, in the next weekend of speed on the Olympic slopes of Sochi 2014 and that Shiffrin wants to face (initially it was not scheduled) to play all his chances in the fight for the crystal balls in speed. Of course, the first goal remains the fourth consecutive World Cup general, but now the champion of Colorado has also targeted the super-g and descent cups, given that Bansko has brought her a big jackpot; with the fourth career success (in CdM races) in the discipline, Mikaela took the red bib today, while in the descent she has only 16 points behind Corinne Suter, with four races still up for grabs. And the 66th win also means -1 from Marcel Hirscher, the third most successful ever as single hits behind Stenmark (86, so the bill says -20 ...) and Lindsey Vonn at 82. "Today I took all the risks, I call it a crazy race - Shiffrin said referring to his super-g - The conditions were perfect to attack the track and, after seeing Marta on the video, I thought it would have been hard since it seemed very fast . And I thought the same about Federica, I wasn't wrong. "
