All the records of Federica Brignone

All the records of Federica Brignone

For the’nth time Federica Brignone, in the Soelden giant slalom that opened the season, made history in Italian women’s alpine skiing and beyond.

In fact, the champion from Valle d’Aosta, with a splendid comeback from the third place in the middle of the race, once again confirmed herself as a woman of second runs and hit her 28ª victory in the Circo Rosa, increasing her Italian women’s record, lengthening to 4 successes the lead over Sofia Goggia, who è stopped at 24. Incidentally, the first one she achieved on Rettenbach on October 24, 2015, and after 9 years è finally managed to repeat on the Tyrolean glacier.

More than Federica in Italy has won only Alberto Tomba, 50 times. She also hit her 13° success among the wide gates, as many as Deborah Compagnoni, who overall è at 16, so Brignone has already almost doubled the Valtellina woman as number of successes. Federica’s podiums in the Cup are 70, one more than Gustav Thoeni, and even here ahead of her there’è only Tomba at 88.

But above all, the outclasswoman born in Milan but raised in La Salle, at the age of 34 years and 104 days è became the oldest ever to win a women’s World Cup race, beating the record of Elisabeth Goegl of Austria, winner of the super-G in Val d’Isere on December 21, 2014 at 33 years and 304 days. It is also worth mentioning that Federica è the only Italian woman to have won the overall World Cup, in 2019-2020.
