Federica Brignone on the podium
Double blue. The Pink Avalanche overwhelms St. Moritz in the second supergiant of the weekend. This time the star is Federica Brignone who, with a spectacular race (57 “81), takes the victory in front of her teammate Elena Curtoni (at 0” 11), and becomes the most successful Italian ever in the World Cup with 17 successes and surpasses Deborah Compagnoni (16). For the Aosta Valley it is
the fifth triumph in super-G: the blue had won the last time in this specialty in Val di Fassa on February 28, 2021. Third was the American Mikaela Shiffrin (at 0 “43), fourth the young New Zealander Alice Robinson, trained by Lindsey Vonn’s former coach and one of the athletes to watch, nominated for a medal at the Beijing Olympics. But, apart from the two “holed”, it was an Italian party, with five athletes in the top ten. Applause and champagne for the Nazonale led by Giancluica Rulfi who modeled the fast team of girls after the glorious experience with the men’s team. This time Sofia Goggia finished sixth, down from the podium after the historic hat-trick in Lake Louise and the second place on Saturday , Sofia Goggia. Eighth Marta Bassino and ninth Francesca Marsaglia. Fifteenth Nicol Delago, at 1 “37. Like two years ago, when the Goggia won with a one-hundredth advantage over the Brignone, it’s an Italian celebration.
In this difficult and spectacular supergiant, on a track that the Italians know very well, the hostess Lara Gut fell. Fright and frost in the parterre, then the champion got up and embraced the Brignone in the parterre. Smiles for Federica who confirms her state of form “I’m free of my head” and proceeds swiftly towards the Chinese Games. Pink Italy is in great shape. Now it’s up to men to join them.
