Olympic champion Sofia Goggia (ITA) was perfect in her first downhill race of the season. After missing almost half of last season and especially the most important event of the World Cup at home, she returns to the races stronger than ever with one of the larger margins of the last 50 years.

With only one training run, Sofia managed to interpret the course better than the others on a sun-kissed day that shows Lake Louise at its best.

Breezy Johnson (USA), in second place, starts the season right at the top of the standings re-establishing himself as the leader of the American team. A clean and error-free run that certainly shows an improvement in her technique.

In third place was Mirjam Puchner (AUT), who had been missing the downhill podium since Soldeu 2019.

Another chance tomorrow for the girls to grab Sofia!
