Sofia Goggia wakes up straight away. After her misadventures in Sankt Anton, the Italian pocketed victory during the descent of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the future Olympic track. Kajsa Vickhoff Lie and Federica Brignone on the podium.
With Sofia Goggia, the period of less good never lasts long. With her two 0s in Sankt Anton, the Italian experienced a nightmare and unusual weekend for a champion like her. This week Goggia returns to a track that she knows wonderfully, with the Tofane de Cortina d’Ampezzo. The 2018 Olympic champion set the record straight by winning by four tenths ahead of Kajsa Vickhoff Lie. Winning return.
Vichoff Lie returns to the podium, Brignone remains on it
Kajsa Vickhoff Lie held the hot seat for a while. Starting with bib 2, the Norwegian made no mistakes, gaining great speed on key parts. Clearly enough to get on the podium. Victorious last Saturday in Austria, Federica Brignone continued with a 3rd place.
Lara Gut-Behrami is perhaps the most engaged. Like Sofia Goggia, the Swiss performed well in the super-G part of this descent but she made mistakes. A little too much, despite the accumulated speed. The holder of the big globe is 4th at 72 hundredths, ahead of a comeback, seriously injured in Cortina a year ago: Corinne Suter.
-She was off to a good start, but Lindsey Vonn made a mistake on the last slope at the bottom of the track and lost a second. The American ranks 20th.
Top 15 for Laura Gauché
Laura Gauché had difficulty starting her race, but, after good training, the Tignarde achieved a solid descent with this final 12th place. Better compared to the last World Cup weekends. Romane Miradoli lost time on the last part of the race after limiting his delay on the technical portion. Haut-Savoyarde is 24th.
