Now Corinne Suter (25) bursts the collar. «This is not a real departure. I don’t understand why you run such a race here. ”The Swyzer is not angry in the SRF interview, but she chooses clear words. The accusation is the same as that of Ramona Siebenhofer (Ö) the day before: the “Marc Girardelli” route on the edge of the Pirin Mountains is turning too much and is too slow. «It goes from one corner to the other. The course is extremely technical. Sure, we have to take it the way it is. But that was not an advertisement for us, »said Suter.

With 9th place, Suter is still the best Swiss. If you look at the statistics, you can see immediately: Swiss downhillers haven’t been this bad for almost three years. In the meantime, Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) Suter is coming to the start in the Downhill World Cup. The US high-flyer is fourth and is only 16 points behind. Means: Suter loses valuable meters in Bansko, but ultimately gets away with a black eye. She is already looking forward to the next “normal” runs. Laughing, she explains: “I’m happy if I leave this place on Sunday.”

A Super-G before departure
Before that happens, the Super-G is coming up. As a third overall, Suter is also involved in the discipline crystal ball – she is only 26 points behind the leader Viktoria Rebensburg (De). However, Suter, like her teammates, has to step up a lot. Lara Gut-Behrami finished second in the downhill in 10th place. That is disappointing. Nevertheless: The Ticino woman wins something positive from the route. «It is cool, sophisticated. And has many trusses. I like that. »In contrast to Gut-Behrami it does it Sensation woman Joana Hahlen (third on Friday) did not finish this time. She overpowers and falls.

In addition to the criticism of the route, there is another finding in Bansko: The Italians are enraptured by the Swiss Ski Girls. On the one hand in the race where they put the top 3: First Curtoni, Second Bassino, Third Brignone. On the other hand, in the nations ranking, where the Squadra Azzurra sees us with 2675: 1952 only as a small spot in the rearview mirror. The Swiss know what to do.
