Sofia Goggia: "I was very happy, I had the joy in my heart to be here, to be able to rehearse and be able to run regardless of what the result would be. But the condition to try and to compete there was: so if something good had arrived, if it had not arrived, it would still have been all to gain. I skied quiet, I did not have the slightest expectation and maybe sometimes that's the secret to being free of mind. I thought only of perfect lines and solid supports. I hoped for a moment, then came the Schmidhofer with the 1.73 and held the advantage. But I was already happy to be at the starting gate. I did not think in the least way to the result, but only to ski well and to have the outside under curve after corner. I really did it and it was nice to return to the World Cup, put on the bib and redo the whole routine of the backpack with my usual goodies. I'm really happy, this result is clearly a cherry, because after three months of stopping with three days of speed in the legs, making a performance like this is gold. But it arises from the awareness of who you are and from all that work done in recent months, even if it was a really tough period. At the victory I never believed too much to the end, if I had not taken so much on perhaps I would have succeeded. But that's all very well: I started also accepting the idea of twentieth, the important thing was to cut the finish line and say 'Ok, Sofia is here again'. I skied free from any expectations and maybe that's the secret. Yes, that's the secret ". Federica Brignone: "I'm very satisfied with the placement: I like Garmisch very much, it's one of my favorite super-G, then the track has drawn our coach and we see, we are four in the top ten (and five in the first eleven, ed ), a great result for our team and a great return for Sofia.I had a few problems tonight, but I think I can recover and get better for the descent, I hope I can do what I did today, especially in the central part with the curves, the tests were very good, beyond the placings I will try to defend myself in the technical part, I know that in the upper part I'm not the fastest, it was time to make a good result in super-G, I needed it this year I had never entered ten. " Marta Bassino: "I'm happy, I managed to ski well, after two days of testing so downhill I reset, this was a nice super-G, with the corners, and I just thought about pushing: it's my best result in super-G, I'm happy, the podium of Plan de Corones has given me so much confidence, especially in giant, and when you're technically right there, I'm convinced that things are good even in speed, now I will not do the descent, I will train in Tarvisio view of the Maribor giant ". Francesca Marsaglia: "I do not want to find excuses, but unfortunately this night I threw up and I was a bit weak" From the middle of the race I felt my leg a bit 'soft, but I'm happy because the' attitude was there and at the top I felt the curves again a lot on the track, it is a good omen for the next few weeks I see positive things every day, I'm happy to be back full and I'm happy for my brother's tenth place in Kitz's descent , he deserves it all ". Nadia Fanchini: "Honestly, I'm happy with this placement, it's not my eleventh place, but because of how this year is going, it's a small brick, from here I try to build something". Nicol Delago: "It is enough to speak of errors of inexperience, of course, I still have to learn a lot, but sometimes it's very good, but I can not do a whole test, it burns in. I really like this track. good downhill ".
