Today, the skiers on the Tofane Olympic piste accelerated by about a second compared to the initial training. The downhill queen Goggia managed the track in 1: 36.72 minutes, the second was Ragnhild Mowinckel from Norway, who was 41 hundredths behind the fastest Italian.
Breezy Johnson did not finish training after the fall and Saturday’s downhill will not take place. American hopes for the Beijing Olympics will lose another race after she injured her knee in training and missed the downhill and super-G in Zauchensee. “She could go down on her own, we will know more after the examination,” said the management of the American national team.
The downhill race is scheduled for Saturday in Cortina. On Sunday, the skiers have a super giant slalom on the program.
