Downhill training is always a tricky thing. The top stars rarely reveal their cards, often slow down before the finish, and don't want to set too good times. Nevertheless, there is something special about what happened on Thursday in St. Anton. In the first downhill training, Federica Brignone set the best time - with a lead of an incredible 1,31 seconds.

Whether she wants it or not, Brignone is the favorite for the downhill race on Saturday, which starts at 11.15:1,31 a.m. Behind the Aostanian were Lara Gut-Behrami (+1,47 seconds) and Sofia Goggia (+XNUMX), who, however, missed a gate.

Nadia Delago best South Tyrolean

Lindsey Vonn also showed off in training and achieved the tenth best time. Nadia Delago was the best South Tyrolean in 21st place, followed by Sara Thaler, while Vicky Bernardi came in 29th. Nicol Delago (who also missed a gate) finished the training in 49th position.

There will be another downhill training session on Friday, before the downhill race starts on Saturday at 11.15:11.15 a.m. The following day, a Super-G will also take place at XNUMX:XNUMX a.m.
