A fairytale Sunday for the rossocrociati, with four podiums and two victories between Garmisch and Chamonix. The victory in the ranking by nations seems only a matter of time, and the sprinter now wears two red bibs like Brignone.

A dream Sunday for Switzerland, the umpteenth of a record season for the red and blue colors.
Four podiums between Garmisch and Chamonix, with the two victories of Corinne Suter and Loic Meillard, but also the podiums of Wendy Holdener (third) and Thomas Tumler (second), between super-g and parallel giant.
The true leader of the women's group has now become a definitively blossomed Corinne Suter this season, after having already demonstrated very high performance continuity in the previous season, topped with two world medals; of course, until the descent of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, the 25 year old from the Canton of Schwyz had not yet won, but it was only a matter of time and today, in a very complicated super-g like the one on Kandahar 1, Corinne has shown that he has not only the best foot in world speed, but also a lot of technique and courage to tame curves and counter-slopes.
Gorgeous and with merit new red bib also in super-g, after having conquered and defended it downhill, even if Federica Brignone (now 39 points away) promises battle between La Thuile and Cortina, in the last two battles that will assign the crystal ball ( downhill, however, three races are missing).
And if Wendy Holdener took the second podium of the super-g career, today's one was the second ever for Thomas Tumler, who at 30 years repeated the third place of the giant of Beaver Creek 2018, improving it with the square d '' honor in the (discussed) parallel giant of Chamonix, concluded behind Loic Meillard. In turn, the 23-year-old from Neuchatel celebrated the first triumph in the World Cup after three seconds and a third place, launching Switzerland increasingly into the league table on the run.
Now there are almost 500 margin points on Austria, which sees its throne shake and can hardly reassemble this super Switzerland. Italy, third overall (spaced more than 1300 points from the top), still maintains the leadership at the female level. And if you please.
