Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone first and second in the descent of Crans Montana- Corriere.it

After the disappointment of the World Cup, I immediately ransom for Sofia Goggia in the World Cup who wins the Crans Montana downhill. It is confirmed in great form Federico Brignone who is placed immediately after his partner (former rival, now relations have normalized).

He also climbs onto the podium the French Gauche who made the most of the best visibility to conquer the best position in his career. In seventh place there is another blue, Laura Pirovano. They were two difficult days for me – said Goggia -. Playing a single test and exiting through the fifth door was not easy. We first 15 started in the dark, I knew that if there was a girl who could beat me it was Fede. I managed to be faster here in the finale.

Ninth place for Ilka Stuhec, direct competitor of Sofia for the Specialty Cup: Goggia now has 179 points ahead of the Slovenian and the descent of Kvitfjell and that of the finals of Soldeu in Andorra remain to be disputed. Fifteenth place for Martha Bassinowhile at 19 it finished Elena Curtoni.

For Goggia the twenty-second success in the World Cup (exceeds Brignone’s 21 victories in the ranking of multiple Italian winners), 17th in downhill, fifth out of 7 downhills contested this season after the double win in Lake Louise, St. Moritz and Cortina. As someone who passed away recently would say, I made a descent with a moustache, Goggia’s dedication to Maurizio Costanzo who died last Friday in Rome.
