Super Faith
–
It was the perfect race for Brignone, good at not losing concentration after the stop due to the fall of the Gut, with the right lines in the most technical part and very fast in the final. Faith, after having registered 3 hundredths of delay from Shiffrin in the first intermediate, accelerated to accumulate 43 hundredths of advantage over the American with the final 57 ”81. It is the fifth success in super-G for Brignone, who had won the last time in the super-G of Val di Fassa on 28 February 2021, and with this center she also becomes the most successful Italian in super-G, ahead of Putzer and Goggia (4 ).
The race
–
Start lowered by about 400 meters due to the wind that swept the upper part of the track, it was a sprint race. The Austrians Tippler and Scheyer also came out on the very fast track designed by the South Tyrolean technician of the Canadians, Hans Plankensteiner. Very bad crash for Lara Gut: the Ticino woman who had won yesterday ended up in the nets in one of the fastest points on the track and when she was 54/100 ahead of Shiffrin. Lara returned to the finish on skis.
It is the fourth blue success in the first 10 women’s World Cup races after the hat-trick of the Goggia in Lake Louise. In the general classification Shiffrin always leads with 525 points, 90 more than Sofia Goggia who instead remains in the lead in the super-G with 220 points (40 more than Gut).
Roberta Melesi, Karolin Pichler and Nadia Delago have yet to leave.
The World Cup now moves to Val d’Isere, where a super-G and a downhill are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday.
