Federica Brignone didn’t see it coming downhill

Brignone’s words

Federica Brignone makes thirty and to do so she chose the downhill in St. Anton, her first personal success in the discipline in the World Cup, to raise her podium haul to 72 and further improve her record as the mostù experienced winner in the top circuit.

“It’ was a suffered race, but I expected it because I’ imagined that the conditions could improve with the descents and I had already noticed Blanc in practice, I knew she could make a great test. I feel sorry for Laura who deserved to be on the podium, but these young people are strong. It’ was a tough race, I didn’ t do a perfect downhill but I was always good at running my skis and recovering from my imperfections. I won in four specialties’ giant, super-G, downhill, combined… Sì, missing slalom… But my mom” took care of that.

And’ a victory that allows Brignone to enter even moreù into the legend: “I am beginning to realize what it means to win soì so much. I am very satisfied, I always tell myself that I am achieving much more than I ever dreamed of. I never thought I could do it in downhill as well, and it wasn’t until last year that I started to believe in it a little bit more. And I hope that my skiman Sbardellotto is satisfied with me. Sì, I still improve my longevity recordà, but watch out for Vonn… she has so much courage in coming back to race in these conditions, but è really dangerous”.
