Sofia Goggia celebrates comeback with best time in downhill training!

In Beaver Creek, the Italian ski racer Sofia Goggia impressively drove the best run for the departure of the women in the last trial run for the women's departure World Cup start after she had to pause for eight months due to an injury. This reported the crown. In the third training session, Goggia showed on the demanding "Birds of Prey" route that she was back in top shape and sent the competition behind: The Americans Lauren Macuga and Breezy Johnson followed two and three, while Goggia delivered a time of over a second. Ricarda Haaser was the best Austrian in fifth place (+1.32 seconds), followed by Stephanie Venier seventh (+1.37 seconds).

In the second training session, it was the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, who presented the best run, driven by her will to win after an injury. So also reported Laola1 that Gut-Behrami was clearly ahead of other athletes and, with a distance of 1.27 seconds, referred to the departure World Cup title defender Cornelia Hütter in sixth place. The challenging slopes demanded a lot from the athletes, and to the surprise of many, some landed behind the best places due to peat gliders.

Important comebacks in Beaver Creek

Nina Ortlieb, who also took the necessary trust after a long injury break, first had to build the necessary trust on the way to return, but took the action with two peat climbers. Tamara Tippler has given up caution from the training in order to prepare for the World Cup as best as possible, while Lena Wechner could not compete due to a bruise. The comeback of the stars and the high level of competition make the event an exciting highlight of the alpine ski season.
