Vlhova returns to command in Semmering, but Bassino is still there. Brignone, a miracle is needed

The first heat of the fourth giant of the season sees the cup leader anticipate an almost perfect Marta by 22 cents, then Gisin and Shiffrin. Faith pays 1.11, Goggia comes out as Robinson. At 13.00 the second.

Petra Vlhova is back in front, with a terrifying first heat finish, but there is a Marta Bassino absolutely in the running for the third pearl of the season, halfway through the race of the giant from Semmering. The first on the “Panorama” sees the Slovakian driving, with the Cuneo woman only 22 cents, practically lost only in the last 5-6 doors, after an almost perfect wall. The gaps are not too wide between the top of the class, nothing surprising on a not too demanding and quite short slope, even if the 35 cents on Michelle Gisin, and above all the 59 on Mikaela Shiffrin, are a nice booty for Vlhova herself in view of the second run (on a Norwegian design, the start at 13.00). Vlhova and Bassino immediately canceled the exit from the scene in the last giant in Courchevel, while the one who worked so hard on Miniotti's design is Federica Brignone, 1 ”71 away and called to a great comeback as in the first giant in Savoy, although this time it will be even more difficult. In fifth position behind Shiffrin, we find a very dangerous Sara Hector, 74 cents away, then there is really the void with Gut-Behrami sixth at 1 "24, ahead of Worley (badly with the bib 1, the French pay 1" 60) and Brignone herself. Alice Robinson is out, once again, with a trivial error at the end of the plan that will cost her the first merit sub-group (third consecutive "zero" after the two in Courchevel, it is now full crisis), just as Sofia Goggia exits in the same point , wasting an excellent chance with bib 9.
