Marta Bassino, who takes gold in super-G at the World Ski Championships. History

Marta Bassino will turn 27 on February 27 (born in Cuneo in 1986), but she got her birthday present early: in fact she triumphed at the World Championships in the super-G of Meribel on the Roc de Fer ahead of the American Mikaela Shiffrin on the world podium, silver with a delay of 11 cents, and the Austrian Cornelia Huetter, bronze at 0″33. The feat in Savoy, substantially on the same track that in 1992 crowned, again in super-G, Deborah Compagnoni Olympic champion, is added in the parallel slalom to the World Cup 2021. In Cortina, however, Marta had to share the title with the Austrian Katharina Liensberger, the first center in the hybrid specialty between fast and technical races, a specialty in which she nonetheless boasts, in the World Cup, two second places and as many thirds In the white circus, the Piedmontese from Borgo San Dalmazzo boasts 28 podiums overall, with 6 victories (all in giant), 9 places of honor and 13 appearances on the minor podium. With the exception of the slalom, she was in the t op three in all disciplines. In 2021 you conquered the Giant’s World Cup, the discipline of choice to which over time you have added competitiveness also in speed. You also won the bronze medal in the Are 2019 team event (on the bench).
