The final challenge for the downhill World Cup, a few minutes after Aleksander Aamodt Kilde's triumph in the men's crystal ball confrontation. The women's descent closes the first day of the finals in Courchevel-Méribel, with Sofia Goggia looking for a historic trio, like no blue before, and has a large margin compared to Corinne Suter, second 75 points from Bergamo and the only one to be able to compete for the trophy. The Olympic champion will start with number 3, after Ledecka who will open with 1, before Goggia who will come out of the gate with 5 (and be careful with 4 to Romane Miradoli, very fast in practice). For the race itself, very open prediction that goes up to Mikaela Shiffrin with bib 21, if we think that yesterday the American finished clearly ahead of all in practice and will want to earn points compared to Petra Vlhova, who will start three numbers later.
