SUN VALLEY (USA) (ITALPRESS) – After triumphing for the second time in her career in the overall standings, Federica Brignone also won the World Cup giant slalom in the finals in Sun Valley (USA).
The Aosta Valley champion, who would have been satisfied with a 13th place finish after New Zealand’s Robinson went out in the first run, finished second, 14 hundredths behind Switzerland’s Lara Gut-Behrami.
Podium number 85 in her career and fifth specialty cup for the Carabinieri Vice Brigadier, reigning rainbow winner between the wide doors; podium number 100 for Gut in the World Cup. Third was Sweden’s Sara Hector at 0″80. Abysmal gaps for the others, with Norway’s Thea Louise Stjernesund fourth at 2″30 ahead of Albania’s Lara Colturi, fifth at 2″54. Also in the points was the other Italian Giorgia Collomb, 14th at 5″48.
LE PAROLE DI FEDERICA BRIGNONE
“It has been an incredible season for me. I never imagined I would ski with this much continuity all year long. In the first run I made some mistakes. In the second run I tried to give it my all, but I avoided taking risks at some junctures.”
