Now, with all the competitors downhill, it's official: success n.21 in career for Sofia Goggia who won the first world cup downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1.33.47.

The blue is once again alongside Federica Brignone ex aequo as the most successful blues ever in the world cup.

Sofia, with very compact skiing and in great safety but ''not flawless'' according to the champion herself, progressed by winning once again in the central and final part of the Olympia delle Tofane, the slope on which the year last year she was seriously injured on the eve of the Olympics.  

Second was a Slovenian Ilka Stuhec in 1.33.60 and third was the German Kira Weidle.

At 1.33.83.

Immediately after the American Mikaela Shiffrin in 1.33.97 and the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami in 1.34.00, also very dangerous because she descended about thirty minutes after Goggia and with much better visibility.

For Italy there is above all Elena Curtoni 8/a in 1.34.19 and very ready for Sunday's super-G, her race.

Then in the standings also the blue Laura Pirovano, twelfth in 1.34.48, Nicol Delago and Federica Brignone (after a series of small mistakes) eighteenth ex aequo in 1.34.59, Nadia Delago twenty-eighth in 1.34.94.

The race was briefly interrupted due to the bad fall after a long jump by the Swiss Corinne Suter, Olympic gold medalist and great rival of Sofia Goggia in the world cup.

However, the Swiss returned alone to the finish line with no apparent damage.

Tomorrow in Cortina another descent.
