Annoyed Federica Brignone: “I’m last in the lead group.”
Federica Brignone’s words after the first SuperG in Kvitfjell
.
It è ended with a mockery the first SuperG in Kvitfjell for Federica Brignone, who sees the opportunity to place on the podium slip away due to a small mistake made in the final section. After her sixth place, just 31 hundredths behind Lara Gut-Behrami, the skier from Valle d’Aosta bluntly analyzed her performance and that of her rivals.
"Today è a tight race for us in front and I am the last of the leading group. What we lack obviously è the initial part on the flat, especially compared to the Austrians, while with Lara we have a similar race until the last part. We really lose a lot to Huetter and Puchner until the second intermediate, which è almost all sliding" began the Italian skier to the microphones of "Rai".
"Last year had been a pack race, while today è it was a good race, sinceè the conditions were totally different. This slow snow, in addition, allows those who make more effort to close the turns better. I didn't manage to make a difference where I could have made it, I feel sorry for the last bit because'anyway we're there in 6 and I'm last, so it bothers me" added the Milan native.
"Lara è a person I respect very much and è a great athlete, not only for the victories but also for how she è always gets back up. Then she sticks her neck out and says what she thinks, that’s why I like her. We always make some comments about the races and beyond that è she is a great champion. Today she wins again. On this slope I do a little bit more’ fatigue, but for my way of skiing in these conditions I did a good race and I am happy with my performance“ concluded Federica Brignone about her Swiss rival.
