Of Flavio Vanetti

the day of the women’s downhill, great favorite Sofia Goggia, but on the Italian front also Elena Curtoni to keep an eye on

To the Ski World Cup the day of the female descent and for Italy this is another day that could reserve great joy. After the gold medals of Federica Brignone (Monday 6 February, debut day, in the combined) and of Marta Bassino, before her on 8 February in super-G,
Sofia Goggia aims without ifs and buts to legitimize the free climbing supremacy that has distinguished it for a couple of years. The 2018 Olympic champion of the specialty, as well as silver medalist (after the well-known tribulations) in Beijing 2022, is looking for her first world title: in 2019 in Aare she was second in super-G, while in 2017 – in the year of her explosion at the top – he had conquered the bronze in giant, a specialty that he subsequently had to put aside for a while.

So this is his big day, awaited and prepared not without some difficulties but also after having reaffirmed on the snow of the Roc de Fer of Mribel that she is the woman to beat: Sofia was in fact the fastest even in the last timed trial (46 cents trimmed to the Austrian Puchner), after she had already won the first and finished second in the following one. The champion from Bergamo joked about her particular situation (Of course Federica and Marta put a lot of pressure on me…), but she was certainly aware of her strength. However, there is no shortage of opponents and in practice many have perhaps hidden away. To watch carefully the Austrians, at least three Swiss (Gut-Behrami, Fleury, Haehlen: perhaps less in the circumstance the holder of the title, as well as Olympic champion, Suter, in difficulty after the fall in January in Cortina), the Slovenian Stuhec who plays the best cards in downhill, the Norwegians Lie and Mowinckel, the German Weidle who two years ago was second. Italy together with Goggia can also go on the attack with Elena Curtoniwho has shown that she knows how to win, while Laura Pirovano and Nicol Delago seem at most in contention for a placement in the top ten.

Appointment then today, Saturday 11 February, at 11.
