Let’s talk about Goggia again for a moment. The Bergamo athlete, who sustained a serious injury just before the season’s peak in Cortina d’Ampezzo last year, fought back tears as her rivals clinched medals at their home Worlds. But that’s old news now. The azure athlete wants to win again. The Austrians can prevent that Ramona Siebenhofer and Mirjam Puchner, but also the Swiss Corinne Suter.
Ester Ledecká from the Czech Republic can storm onto the podium with a very good run. Even Suter’s compatriot Lara Gut-Behrami can perform convincingly. We can expect a good placement from the Viking Ragnhild Mowinckel, but also from the German Kira Weidle – she once again took second place on the Kälberlochpiste in Salzburger Land. The Tyrolean Stephanie Venier, vice world champion five years ago, wants to finally get out of the negative spiral after a good test run. It remains to be seen whether she will succeed at the Olimpia delle Tofane.
The Slovenian Ilka Stuhec is always up for a good result. The South Tyroleans want that too Nicol and Nadia DeLago claim of themselves. Even by the experienced Federica Brignone we can expect a top performance from the Squadra Azzurra. The Vorarlberger Christine Scheyer can also place in the top 10 with a good run. You can and can certainly trust her to do that.
The last downhill run in Cortina d’Ampezzo apart from last year’s Alpine World Ski Championships took place in 2019. At that time, two races took place at the same time. Once Siebenhofer triumphed in front of Stuhec and Venier, in the second race Siebenhofer was ahead again. She won ahead of Nicole Schmidhofer and Stuhec. The final of the 2019/20 ski winter, which was considered a World Cup test in the Belluno Dolomites, fell victim to the corona pandemic.
Die „Olimpia delle Tofane“ in Cortina d’Ampezzo
The ‘Olimpia delle Tofane’ piste is technically demanding and demanding and, as usual, will demand a lot from the women at the World Cup downhill.
The descent starts below the Tofanen triumvirate at the Rifugio Pomedes refuge. The first striking point is the Tofanaschuss, a very steep slope next to a large rock.
After the right turn at the Rifugio Duca d’Aosta, the slope leads through a wooded area. After a left turn with a jump, the two terrain transitions Primo Muro and Secondo Muro follow with the giant slalom start, the diagonal traverse and the S-curve La grande S, another key point.
At the Passage Bus de ra Pales, the route leaves the forest again. There is still a long left and right turn to the finish.
Here Toni Sailer won the gold medal in the downhill at the Olympic Winter Games. For the women, too, the route was firmly in Austrian hands for a long time. Speed Queen Renate Götschl won 10 World Cup races on the Tofana. After that, however, a new queen reigns: Lindsey Vonn from the USA could win 12 times here (6 x downhill, 6 x super-G).
