She has mastered downhill and super-G at will this year: Sofia Goggia also showed her exceptional skills in Val d'Isere. In the tempo disciplines, the Italian is the logical gold favorite for Beijing.

Exceptional rider Sofia Goggia once again raced away from the competition at the ski weekend in Val d'Isere.

After her success in the downhill on Saturday, the Italian Olympic champion also triumphed in the Super-G on Sunday.

Ragnhild Mowinckel from Norway was second, 0.33 seconds back, followed by Elena Curtoni (+0.51) from Italy.

Goggia thus remains the great dominator in the fast ski disciplines.

At the Olympic Games in Beijing, the 29-year-old is the clear favorite for gold.

The victory in the French Alps was her fifth World Cup success this winter.

Germany's hopeful Kira Weidle showed an increase in performance compared to the previous day in 39th place and just barely missed her best Super-G result of her career in 16th place.

"Under all the circumstances, I'm quite satisfied today," said the second World Cup on ZDF, referring to her cold.
