January 26, 2020There is Marta Bassino on the podium of Bansko's World Cup supergiant won by the American Mikaela Shiffrin, in her 66th career success. For the blue, second to 29 cents, it is the eleventh position among the best three in a Cup race, the first in this specialty.
So much bad luck for Federica Brignone who fell in the final stretch of the 'Marc Girardelli' slope of the Bulgarian ski resort while she was ahead (about a tenth) of the American. The Aosta Valley - third yesterday in the descent of the historic blue hat-trick with Elena Curtoni winning in front of the Bassino - came out following an imbalance for having hit her right arm against the goal post. For Faith a blow to the hand and precious Cup points lost both in terms of overall classification and supergiant.
Shiffrin, 24 years old from Vail in Colorado, on the snow of Bansko in a superg very similar to a giant slalom with a single jump, moreover artificial in the last seconds of the race, returned to the victory in superg (three successes in total) after the brace in early December 2018 in Lake Louise and St. Moritz. Bassino, 23 years old from Borgo San Dalmazzo, today found herself at ease and went on the attack showing an almost perfect performance that had allowed her to establish the best part-time, subsequently improved by Shiffrin.
To complete the podium the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami delayed by 70 cents. Seventh Curtoni 1 "23 from the victory while the Slovak Petra Vlhova with seventh place has collected points in the overall standings of the Cup. The White Circus for women will continue with two stages dedicated to speed, that is free descent and supergiant. Next weekend races in Rosa Khutor in the Caucasus mountains and in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) on 8 and 9 February The technical disciplines, giant and slalom, will return to Maribor (Slovenia) on 15 and 16 February.
