A second place that counts as a victory. Every so often you have to settle, even if your name is Lara Gut-Behrami and you have just returned from five consecutive victories in the discipline; the super-g that closed the three days of the historic debut of Val di Fassa in the World Cup is worth the third crystal ball in its favorite specialty, after those of 2014 and 2016.
Almost a formality, even if today Federica Brignone also made a difference on the Ticino, who can smile all right for another 80 points earned on Petra Vlhova in general. He says not to think about it, but meanwhile Lara is 187 points ahead of the Slovak, who will now have four technical races (including three slalom) to shorten before the finals in Lenzerheide.
"Today I struggled more - admitted Gut-Behrami to RSI microphones - I couldn't really enter the race, the tiredness made itself felt like everyone else, they were really busy days and I can't wait to be able to go home a couple of days. At the end of the season it is a great stress, even mental, and we are sorry to see athletes who get hurt as happened today. It really takes a moment to compromise everything, especially in this condition of consecutive races ”.
