A stunning double, for a total of over 2 ”30 trimmed to the second classified, in both cases Breezy Johnson (subscriber to second places behind the Bergamo), in the descents of Lake Louise that he had never tamed in his career.
A completely different story this year in Canada for Sofia Goggia, who also today made the void behind her, consolidating her red bib and putting on her sixth consecutive victory in the discipline, the thirteenth ever in the Italian Cup. World. And with the tenth pearl in the queen discipline, there is that “minus 2” from Isolde Kostner, the multiple winner in Italy. "I do not make comparisons of this type, we belong to two different generations - explains Sofia immediately after the race, through the FISI press office - I simply try to give my best in every situation, we will do the accounts at the end of my career".
On the second descent, here is his analysis. “It was a race held in totally different conditions than on Friday. The track was perhaps more beautiful because it was well smoothed, but with such visibility it was more difficult to read the ground. In fact, already at the third corner I was unable to pull it well, so much so that I left it on the road for a few tenths, then I checked other doors to avoid making mistakes.
I was good from half down. It's my sixth consecutive downhill victory with Garmisch's injury in the middle, I'm very happy especially because Lake Louise is not a track that suits my characteristics so much, but this year it's a bit '' more move. I did not expect two results of this kind on the eve, I certainly felt among the candidates for victory, but not so much. In training at Copper Mountain I was struggling, however when I have to pull the curves in this way I am good ”.
And the Bergamo champion is already thinking about Sunday's super-g to look for a sensational hat-trick in the speed opening. "Now the challenge to the supergiant starts, because the real step towards the top lies in that discipline, I have already shown in the past that I have won two consecutive descents and then lost myself in super-g as in Val d''Isère, St Anton and Crans Montana. Let's say it's my new challenge, I'm consolidating my ability, the gaps trimmed in these two days are important, but I expect the opponents to grow. Every race starts from scratch ".
