Shiffrin returns to the throne and wins the sixth World Cup. Last giant in Grenier, Trocker still shines

HAFJELL (NORVEGIA) (ITALPRESS) – The Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup offers a show until the last race. Mikaela Shiffrin had to wait for the second heat of the Hafjell giant, the final race of the season, to celebrate his sixth career victory in the general classification, thus reaching another myth like Anne Marie Moser Proell. After a first half of the uncertain race, ‘Her Majesty’ is riding, recovers six positions and goes to take the yet another triumph of a legendary career, which in this season also gave it an Olympic gold and a cup of specialties, both arrived in slalom. On the day of Valerie Grenier, who climbs on the highest step of the podium in the last race of the season, there is also room for the smiles of the Italian team. The credit, as 24 hours before, is by Anna Trocker.

The star born at the end of 2008 in South Tyrol, already present in Milan Cortina, further improves the ninth place in slalom yesterday, signing a splendid eighth position. It indicates that, despite the very young age, in the next winter you can already say its among the big ones. “It’s really amazing – Trocker’s commentary, bi-iridata tra le juniores in gigante e slalom, ai microphone della Fisi –. I’m really satisfied with these two days and how I skied. I am not a girl who speaks so much, but in the ski I put everything I have.”.

It closes with a 19th square in giant Sofia Goggia season, which closes fourth in the general ranking and takes home the title in SuperG, a month and a half after the Olympic bronze downhill to Milan Cortina. “It was a challenging season – explained the Bergamo outclass -. The expectations were very high because I engaged in three disciplines. I missed the descent, I had an unexpected season, while it was very constant the season in superG. In giant, instead, I sowed but I did not harvest. I will not leave the giant anyway because I think it is the basis of all disciplines, even of the fast ones”. “Now, I’m going to go out completely, I want to take a month and a half to live my life and get off my job. Last year there was the Olympic goal and so I worked a lot in spring. This year – he concluded – I intend to live my life away from the slopes”.

Lara Della Mea is 24th, in the best season of her career here. “It was a positive season, the finals did not go as I hoped but patience”, his comment.
