Federica Brignone makes an admission after triumph

The words of Federica Brignone

The Sestriere giant slalom ended in the sign of Federica Brignone, who performed a real show of strength despite the fever and flu that have affected her in recent days. Speaking to the microphones of "RAI", the skier from Valle d’Aosta did not hide her satisfaction with the result obtained.

"It was not so obvious that I could win this round. It's been a tough time, but I did everything to rest and regain my strength. I had never been six days at home without doing anything. They were complicated days, as I felt like I would never recover" began the skier from Valle d’Aosta.

"I knew I could ski well here and that by dedicating my energies only to the two heats I could collect a good result. I am very happy, è it was a special race, becauseé practically I did not warm up, forò, after the World Cup, I felt obliged to do a good race in front of the Italian public" continued the leader of the overall World Cup ranking.

"Robinson is skiing great, he always attacks and è a tough cookie. I struggled a bit to get into a rhythm in the upper part of the first run, then in the second run I wanted to risk it all" added the Milan native.

"I want to focus on one race at a time. Here in Sestriere I was worried because of the illness, but everything è went well. I don’t think he’ll ever catch up with Alberto Tomba, so I’ve already told him that he canò stay calm" concluded Federica Brignone.
