Italian Sofia Goggia, who won both downhill races at Lake Louise and was looking for the gold medal sweep, was fifth Sunday in 1:21.11. She didn’t find her groove on the course until it was too late in the super-G, but she’s otherwise happy with her weekend.
“I’m super grateful. Two wins and a fifth place, still in the top five, so I’m happy with that and let’s bring it home,” said Goggia.
Canada’s Gagnon finished eighth in the super-G, her best finish after finishing 24th and 25th in the downhill.
The three-time Olympian said it felt good to be together.
“It’s really like a small win today,” Gagnon said, “because I was able to have a pretty tough weekend, the first few days on the ice, and just my confidence took a hit.
« Just being in the state I was in, if I had come in today with some confidence I think I would be dangerous for a podium, but that’s really good. »
