Federica Brignone explains the key to success the Val d’Isere
Triumphant day and updated record for Federica Brignone
Federica Brignone can't nor certainly wants to hide her smile at the end of a triumphant day in which she won in the Super-G in Val d'Isere her third success of the season, as well as number 24 overall (updated Italian women's record) in the World Cup. Indeed, to the microphones of 'Rai Sport' the Valdostana does not hold back happiness while explaining the key to today’s success.
"I am succeeding on days like today, as well as what happened on Mont Tremblant, to concentrate on my skiing,” she said.
Obviously, it cannot be done every time, I am not a machine and sometimes I get overwhelmed by pressure as well: forò I am skiing well, I am doing the right things in the race, the results come accordingly".
The ambition, although a bit hidden, è is to replicate the success in the overall World Cup achieved in 2020: "Honestly not è a fixed thought, è it is true that an encore would be a dream but I prefer just to give my best and enjoy race after race, skiing my way. And then we are in December, we have to keep a celta calm".
The 24th CdM victory allows Brignone not only to update the record of Italian successes in women’s races, but also to equal Gustav Thoeni in the overall ranking, taking second place behind Alberto Tomba’s 50 victories: "In the last eight to nine years, in the women’s category, we have achieved extraordinary results as a team,” she said. “So many girls have achieved important successes in the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games. We want to continue thisì".
