The words of Marta Bassino

Marta Bassino also spoke after the SuperG in St. Moritz. "Let’s start from the assumption that Sofia made the difference today becauseé we have important gaps. I did not feel I was skiing so well, it was not so easy to find the compromise between speed and hump because there was no visibility. Tomorrow I will doò the descent, in practice I did some sections quite well, we will see if I can put it all".

"The super-G in St. Moritz, even in perfect conditions – had said Sofia Goggia -, itè never easy. Today you had to put the speedà in the right sections and I think I did that. I started a little bit’ slow, as always, in the middle part where I made the difference, actually; I always felt a little bit’ long, but I was fast and I honestly did not expect to win with 95 hundredths of advantage".

"When I got to the finish line I did not have the best feeling, I had to make it up along the course. The course in the giant l’ve had to take it by force, because’I needed a more solid technical base. There’was the curiosity’to start with speed, the tests of the past few days went quite well, and now you have to go to the maximum both tomorrow and the day after’

, she had concluded the winner of the day.

“I am very angry – had said instead Federica Brignone -, because I certainly would not have won the race today, but a place on the podium I could have taken. On the’last jump I went out too far to the right and I had to put myself on the edge again and the’I lost those 7 tenths that prevented me from taking the podium. I want to ski the way I know and today I couldn’t do it: today I wasn’t so fluid, I wasn’t 100%, it’s not the way I like to ski, I know I can do a lot better and that’s why I’m not happy.
