The Swiss takes the gold by building its success in the heart of the track and burning the Austrian Mirjam Puchnera rocket in the finale, and the teammate Michelle Gisin. For the class of ’91, this is the only heavy laurel she was missing from the bulletin board, after the overall World Cup won in 2016 and the two world titles won in Cortina just twelve months ago. And if the blues had been loud throughout the season, she is certainly the best interpreter of this discipline in recent years and perhaps second only to Lindsey Vonn in an absolute sense. This is her third Olympic medal after the downhill bronzes in Sochi and the giant one a few days ago. True champion.

Elena Curtoni far from the podium, her sister Irene consoles her
To eat your hands is Tamara Tippler. The Austrian makes a mistake before the final plan and loses speed, a mistake that will prove fatal for the podium and perhaps even for something more. Behind her the Olympic champion of PyeongChang, Ester Ledecka, who with the bib number 2 immediately gives the feeling of having played an important race. Then one Ragnhild Mowinckel all in all in line with expectations and a revival behind Brignone Mikaela Shiffrin. The American finally closes a match, without ever being in the game. All confidence in view of the combined, where she will try to revive her Olympics. It wasn’t an easy track for either Marta Bassino e Francesca Marsaglia and the two blue ones confirm it, closing respectively 17th (+1.57) and 22nd (+2.10). For women’s alpine skiing, the next appointment is the downhill on February 15th.
Brignone is the best Italian, but she is only 7th in Super G
