Goggia celebrates sensational comeback in the Super-G from Beaver Creek!
in the Super-G from Beaver Creek, Sofia Goggia made an impressive comeback when she celebrated the victory after a long phase of injury. The Italian skier, who had broken the shin during training in February, won the race with a time of 1: 03.90 minutes and secured first place, 0.48 seconds from the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami. Goggia had prepared for the race perfectly and felt ready, as she explained after the run: "I knew that I had to be careful in the first five goals. And then I was able to play my strengths." According to Vail Daily's report, Goggia was not only pleased with her victory, but also for the chance to start what was of great importance for her after the serious injury.
Austria's surprise: Ariana Rädler
parallel to Goggia's success, the Austrians Ariana Rädler showed an impressive performance. The 29-year-old competed with the start number 20 and sensationally conquered third place, which she described as "satisfaction" at ORF. Rädler, who has already suffered four cruciate ligament tears, fought back and landed on the podium after she had only finished 23rd in the departure on Saturday. "It was a lot, but I've stabilized myself in recent years," she said. While departure winner Cornelia Hütter, who had to struggle with slight pain after an unfortunate fall, did not come up with the podium, Rädler cheered loudly about her success.
The competition in Beaver Creek was full of emotions and challenges, both for the winner Goggia and for the surprise third Rädler. It was a race that symbolized both the fighting spirit and the return to the form. Goggia, who received additional tips from Lindsey Vonn, looked at the competition with optimism, which was clearly reflected in her impressive run. While the participants are preparing for the next race in St. Moritz, the moment of victory in Beaver Creek remains unforgettable for both athletes.
