"It was clear to everyone that on the pitch I was really struggling with my skis. I had no control over them at all. When I got into the pitch I found myself in big difficulty to get the next gate. Despite the disappointing result, the four-time downhill crystal globe winner is still in with good odds: a podium finish at the World Cup Finals would secure her first Super-G title."
"The Super-G in Val di Fassa was everything that makes ski racing so fascinating and delivered entertainment, upsets, and excitement until the very end. With a big field of strong skiers in Super-G, this season has only seen one skier on top of the podium twice: Sofia Goggia. She currently leads the rankings but New Zealand's Alice Robinson and Germany's Emma Aicher are on her heels with one victory and several podiums each."
Elena Curtoni secured a surprise victory at the Val di Fassa Super-G in Italy, finishing 0.26 seconds ahead of Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie. Fellow Italian Asja Zenere claimed third place, just 0.01 seconds behind Lie, delivering a dominant weekend for the home team. Sofia Goggia, the current Super-G Crystal Globe leader, finished ninth after struggling with her ski setup on the steep pitch midway down the course. New Zealand's Alice Robinson tied for fourth with France's Romane Miradoli, while Germany's Emma Aicher recorded a DNF. Goggia maintains a 63-point lead over Robinson with one race remaining on March 22 in Norway. The competitive field has seen only Goggia achieve multiple podiums this season, making the finale highly unpredictable.
