Federica Brignone getting hungrier: "I have an open account"

Federica Brignone experienced an absolute star weekend in Sankt Anton: the Azzurra, after her victory on Saturday in the downhill, finished third in the Super G on the Karl Schranz slope, delivering another superlative performance. The Italian record holder of victories analyzed her success this way: "The race changed faces on several occasions".

"I for example started with quite a lot of darkness in the initial part, the later athletes, on the other hand, had more light. As always I pushed hard and I am happy with what I did".

The Valdostana champion is already looking beyond, to Cortina d'Ampezzo, where she has not è ever managed to impose herself in the past, and to get on the podium: "Let’s see how much she will be able to stay calm and preserve energy for the Cortina stage and then Kronplatz. I have an open account with the’Olympia of the Tofane and will try’to make the most of the home weekend".

Brignone is not thinking about the overall standings: "I don’t think about it, I want to think only race by race. On Tuesday, the slalom racers in Flachau will pass me again, better that wayì…".
