A splendid Sofia Goggia after a crazy race made with the wind and under a thick snowfall arrived only 4th in 1.29.94 in the second super-G of Kvitfjell's cdm.

Sofia was progressively mocked by the Austrians Nina Ortlieb, first in 1.29.25, Stephanie Venier, second in 1.29.37, and Franziska Gritsch, third in 1.29.63, who starting with higher pectorals were extremely favored by the weather for them meanwhile clearly improved.


    ''A clearly staggered race'', bitterly commented Sofia, however satisfied with this performance of hers made ''with a wolf time''.

''But ours is an outdoor sport.

This is skiing and we have to adapt'' Goggia closed with philosophy to the microphones of Rai sport.


    For Italy there is then the 12th place in 1.30.39 by Elena Curtoni who however left behind all her rivals in the race for the super-G cup.

Elena remains in the lead with 332 points and 19 ahead of the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, today 20th.

This is how everything will be decided in the last super-G on March 16 at the Soldeu finals.


    Federica Brignone, very angry for a mistake with a big skid in which she risked ending up and also went down in bad weather, finished 21/a in 1.30.79 .

Then Nicol Delago finished 26/a in 1.30.92 and Roberta Melesi 27/a in 1.31.05 while Laura Pirovano finished out while Nadia Delago decided not to compete.


    The world cup now moves to Sweden, to Aare: giant slalom on Friday and special Saturday.

The American MIkaela Shiffrin, who has already won the special and the world cup, is also aiming for the giant one.

When there are two games left to the end of the season, the American has 600 points against the 482 of the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami.

But the blue Marta Bassino is still in the race, third with 451.
