Michelle Gisin loses a whopping 3.09 seconds to winner Marta Bassino (It). However, the Engelbergerin came in at No. 8. “I can live with that,” he says. Gisin cannot take advantage of her results from the previous season (fourth, fifth and second), but she is still the best Swiss woman. After a too passive first race, Gisin takes more risks in the afternoon, despite the snowfall and poor visibility. “The slope was very uneven. I had to go full throttle even though I couldn’t see anything. He was shaking like crazy, ”said Gisin. She does the job well. “Although you know that in such conditions I often drive with caution and do not risk my life,” says Gisin.
Only two Swiss women in the top 30
Gisin is ultimately a better place than Lara Gut-Behrami, who made up six places in race two and finished ninth. Ticino is once again demonstrating its progress in the giant slalom and is not moving as much as last winter. However: She is also far from the top trio Bassino, Sara Hector (Sd) and Petra Vlhova (Svk).
The same applies to Wendy Holdener, who slides in the second race on the inside ski (this mistake almost never happens to her) and writes a zero. And the other Swiss women? They are all eliminated in the morning: Corinne Suter turns 34, Jasmina Suter 37, Camille Rast 47, Priska Nufer 59 and Mélanie Meillard 60. Overall, that’s just a little bit: disappointing.
Frustration of injury with consequences
The weak result of the Swiss team is also a consequence of Andrea Ellenberger’s failure: he broke his cruciate ligament for the last time during training. I was in a better mood than ever. And now that, of course, I wonder: why? But there is no answer to this question, “says Ellenberger. We remember: Nidwalden’s wife struggled with back problems for years, could barely walk, but struggled to get back. Your failure is serious.
In the end, it still does: only two out of eight Swiss women score points in the first of two Courchevel Giant Slalom. The effects are visible in the ranking of nations. Because: Seven (!) Of the ÖSV team are classified in the top 30 and thus increase the advantage over the Swiss from 37 to 133 points. After all, thanks to the men, Switzerland remains at the top of the overall.
