After the second success in a row in downhill at Lake Louise, Goggia relaunches: “In the past I won two descents and then I got lost in this specialty, it’s my new challenge”
Sofia also surprises herself: “I did not expect two results of this kind on the eve, I certainly felt among the candidates for victory but not so much”. Sofia debunked a track where a crusader broke in 2013: “It’s my sixth consecutive downhill victory with Garmisch’s injury in the middle, I’m very happy especially because Lake Louise is not a track that suits my characteristics so much. , but this year it is a bit more active ”.
However, the second victory in two days was very different from the first, explains Goggia: “It was a race held in totally different conditions than on Friday. The track was perhaps more beautiful because it was well smoothed, but with such visibility it was more difficult to read the ground. In fact, already at the third corner I was unable to pull it well, so much so that I left it on the road for a few tenths, then I checked other doors so as not to make mistakes. I was good from half down ”.
Doubts
–
And to think that the approach had not been perfect, on the contrary. “I was struggling at Copper in training – explained Goggia to Fisi’s microphones – but when it comes to pulling curves in this way, I’m good. Now the challenge to the supergiant starts, because the real step towards the top lies in that discipline, I have already shown in the past that I have won two consecutive descents and then lost myself in the super-G like in Val d’isère, St. Anton and Crans Montana . Let’s say it’s my new challenge, I’m consolidating my ability, the gaps trimmed in these two days are many, but I expect the opponents to grow, every race we start from scratch “.
The record
–
With the tenth downhill triumph Sofia has approached the record of the blue that belongs to Isolde Kostner with 12. “I do not make comparisons of this type, we belong to two different generations. I simply try to give my best in every situation, we’ll do the accounts at the end of my career “.
