Excellent performance by the Italians in the Super-G in St. Moritz. Sofia Goggia finishes in third place behind the Swiss Lara Gut-Bherami, second, and the winner of the day, the Austrian Huetter. Curtoni fourth, Brignone fifth and Pirovano sixth. Two other Italians in the top 15: Bassino 11th and Melesi 13th. Great return also for the highly anticipated Lindsey Vonn: the American, at 40 years old, returns and wins a surprising 14th place
LINDSEY VONN, RETURNING TO ST. MORITZ: HE'S 14TH IN SUPER G
Still a podium, number 57 in her career, for the Italian Sofia Goggia, good third in the first super-G of Cdm in St. Moritz. The 32-year-old Austrian won – eighth cup success and second of the season Cornelia Huetter ahead of the Swiss Lara Gut – Behrami. It definitely was the return at the age of 40 and six years after retirement of the great US champion Lindsey Vonn, an excellent 14th, was a success. But the race – in a postcard-like winter alpine landscape, with large snow-covered meadows above two thousand meters above sea level and therefore without vegetation and everyone in the sun, on a Corvaglia track full of bumps and large mamelons with various blind passages without seeing the next gates – it was a truly great blue festival. After Goggia, in fact, the jet girls are a series: Elena Curtoni, who just a year ago fell disastrously on the Corviglia breaking her sacrum, fourth, Federica Brignone fifth and Laura Pirovano sixth. If that's not enough, they're also there Marta Bassino 11^ e Roberta Melesi 13^. In short, the blue team of jet girls is truly a great power: and tomorrow there is another super-G.
Goggia: “Three podiums in three races, not bad…”
“Three podiums in three races is absolutely not bad: clearly I know that compared to how I skied today there is some margin. But that's okay, not all donuts always come out with a hole. Lindsey Vonn called me after my descent to get some information on the route but with the 31 she found a slightly more marked track”. Sofia Goggia says this to Fisi, after the podium achieved in the super-G in Sankt Moritz. “This is always a Super-G to interpret with many bumps, blind spots, very choppy terrain. We have to trust our line: for my part, I didn't ski very well today, I felt more tense than last week. It wasn't easy to understand the condition of the snow: here there is always an aggressive surface and I would need more time to adapt. After Beaver Creek I actually couldn't ski anymore except in the race, apart from one lap in the open field. Today it was very particular snow , was plotted as a giant and staying just one meter more on a curve makes you slow down. Hütter was very fast everywhere, I was at times, in spurts: but after the injury I like to live day by day“.
