Turin – Italdonne’s record breaker Even if it came as a huge disappointment Elena Cortoni. Lara Gottfrom Ticino with a lot of Italy in his heart (including a stay in Udine after the footballer moved on Fallon Bahramiadding the surname also in the contest), takes it all in super g from Soldeu Finals: Race and Major World Cup (his third), snatched from Valtellini.

Elena pays dearly for yesterday’s bad hit when a fall (which was very serious) took away the last platform for descent and several facts that were already flawed in Meribel World Cup. In addition, there was Misfortune, which had already achieved more than a peek into the last Super GA Kvitfjelwhen he was Austrian Hueter He took her victory for just a penny. Here instead was the sly tow, which gave her the last available apron (15), brakes with spring snow already processed, gradually melted by the sun which rises in the Principality of Andorra. The result was a race without sharp notes and one last mistake sent Cortone to 10th. A result that not only knocks the Red Commander’s bib out of the major at the last minute, turning him into a first trophy, but also cuts him off the final podium.

Instead, Federica Brignone beat her doubly so. With a race like a real tiger, a race that lit her world championship gold in the combined slalom and silver in the giant slalom, put her helmet on and never took it off again, Valle d’Aosta was only beaten by Gut, but with second place conquering The seventh platform seasonal character (56 in the career) and the 26th place for Italy for women, hoping the record goes back to 2016-2017. Not only that, from fifth place in the Specialization rankings, he moved back to second place, grabbing the last all-important podium, even if he had to abdicate as queen of the Specialization.

“I’m proud that I risked everything and skated as I had to,” Federica smiles. Lara was better than me, credit to her, but I’m talking about my driver, the season and after I came to play in the cup until the end. Now I’m going to stay on the Giant, I’m going to try my best and attack to try and get to the podium in this classification as well. I want to get out of this season without regrets.”

Instead, Elena Cortoni has some. “I knew I was skating well, but the approach to the race wasn’t as positive after the downhill fall,” says Valtellini, who is perpetually in between the cool Fab Four of the blues. “Maybe I put my foot in some sections without realizing it. It’s no excuse: “I knew it was going to be difficult to win the race. I’m so sorry, I really wanted to, but I showed this season that I can always move up in two disciplines, so I’m proud of the work I’ve done and will continue to do it.”

like Sofia Jogiawhich he completed the next day for lifting the Downhill Cup fourth (third in a row) with good passes and fortitude (seventh blue and second at the finish line, in front of Martha Pacino) Super G who wants to be his extra card from next year. However, this concludes it with 5 of 8 hits and 8 of 26 seasonal platforms by Italdonne Records.

And what about men? away from the platform. This is now the preserve of the usual suspects, starting with Marco Adermattthe Swiss with his sixth win (and eighth of the top three) in the 9 Super-G of the season, deserving the best of both the General and Specialty Cups he has already won, and Alexander Amodt Kildeher Norwegian boyfriend Michaela Schiffrinwith insertion between two austrian Marco SchwartzAnd the speed of announcing the second part of the season, Dominic Paris He’s very quick as always when there’s horsepower to unload, but he gets lost in the corners (one second stuck in the wall): he finished seventh, a cent behind. Mattia Kass Disappointing vintage. It’s going to be a summer full of great ideas and musings for the Val d’Altimo champion. The personal team project did not work out and the level of competition rose terribly. Great motivation and a lot of technical work will be required more as a team, similar to the women.
