With Federica Brignone, Marta Bassino, Elena Curtoni and Francesca Marsaglia (who takes the place of Sofia Goggia), the blue team is present at the Super G on the basis of six seasonal successes in the World Cup on seven appointments: three with Brignone (St. Moritz, Zauchensee and Garmisch), two with Goggia (Lake Louise and Val d'Isère) and one with Curtoni (Cortina).
"In January I almost always did speed, here in China I have not had the opportunity until today to put on long skis, but lap after lap it went better and better, I feel a good feeling, the grip is good, the track is homogeneous. ", Brignone affirmed, according to which" it will be a tough race without having had the opportunity to train above without rehearsing, as has already happened to our male colleagues. I decided to choose a number in half, so I will have the opportunity to see some descents of those in front of me and to get an idea of the layout. The goal is to ski as I did during the season in this specialty, where I have always felt good ".
Marta Bassino, on the other hand, underlined that she had put behind her "the moment of disappointment for the giant leap three days ago: I have turned the page and now I am ready to relaunch my ambitions".
While Elena Curtoni, she assured that she will try to concentrate on the race "without thinking about too many things that have happened to me in the last few days".
Francesca Marsaglia says she is "very happy to be here, I'm sorry to take Goggia's place, I hope she can recover as soon as possible".
In the absence of the skier from Bergamo, Brignone is among the names to follow in the competition with the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami.
