The Piedmontese closes seventh after having caressed the dream of the encore: "We were all close, it took just a few small mistakes to end up behind."

If Federica Brignone has finally taken the whole stage after having touched on at least two occasions the first victory of the season, the giant of Courchevel has left some regrets to the first two Italians who have followed the Valdostana in the standings, namely Marta Bassino and Sofia Goggia.
The Piedmontese, seventh after finishing the first run in second place, just one tenth from Holtmann, seemed to be able to play the chance of the post-Killington encore: "Overall it was still a good race - explained the 23-year-old from Borgo San Dalmazzo to fisi.org - I lost a few positions because I was not able to push like in the first run, we were all very close and at the slightest mistake you end up behind. I set off from here and try again to go back to the front.
For the Bergamo, 16th at the finish line, the regret is linked to the first heat, which saw her place 26th at 2 seconds from the top: "I never look for excuses - the words of Sofia - but it must be said that I took wind all over the track and this disoriented me in the opening round. In the second I knew I was going on the smooth, I liked the track a lot and I'm glad I skied in particular on the wall and in the final part. This is the right way to come back strong even in giant â€.
