Always Federica Brignone

Heavy snowfall, which had softened the slopes, prevented the descent from taking place on Saturday. Although Rosa Khutor didn't show her best side the next day, the race was still able to go ahead. Federica Brignone coped best on the heavily turning course, but mostly flat slope. She relegated Sofia Goggia and Joana Hählen to places 2 and 3.

Brignone is classy With light snowfall and poor visibility, Corinne Suter set up the first benchmark. The Swiss showed a strong ride, but made a serious mistake on the difficult final slope. And this ultimately cost the 1-year-old his victory. Because: Brignone, who didn't reach the finish line without any mistakes, clearly beat Suter's record thanks to a fantastic final part.

The opponents then bit their teeth on the Italian's time, even though “Fede” had to tremble twice. Her teammate Goggia was only 2 hundredths of a second shy of the best time, while Joana Hählen pushed her compatriot Suter off the podium (+20). It was already Brignone's 0,34th World Cup victory of the current season - impressive. This means that the Azzurra has also taken the lead in the Super-G classification.

Meanwhile, South Tyrol's hottest prospect, Nicol Delago, didn't have a good day. The 24-year-old from Wolkenstein opened up a big gap in the upper section before she lost the line and was eliminated. It was Delago's second retirement in a row after she also failed to finish the Super-G in Bansko. Verena Gasslitter – like Nadia Delago – also did not finish the race.

Mikaela Shiffrin, Petra Vlhova and Marta Bassino did not make the long journey to Russia. They will most likely be involved in the racing again in Garmisch-Partenkirchen next weekend.

Always Federica Brignone

In Bansko, Federica Brignone, who was fighting back tears, had to be comforted after her failure. On Sunday in Rosa Khutor, exactly a week later, she was the radiant winner of the Super-G.
