The former Crystal Globe winner Federica Brignone has won her second victory since the start of the season at the Alpine Ski World Cup after triumphing in the super-giant slalom in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria.
The Italian made a very solid descent and deservedly succeeded to win, second for her in the discipline this season, with a time of 1:10.84. Corinne Suter from Switzerland was second only 0.04 seconds behind her, and the surprising third position with a delay of 0.17 seconds was the Austrian skier Ariane Raedler.
Fourth place went to the second representative of the “squad” Marta Bassino, who was 0.43 slower than her compatriot Federica Brignone. The fifth position was shared by the two Frenchmen Tessa Worley and Laura Gauche, who were 0.51 slower than the winner.
With her victory today, Federica Brignone is only 5 points from the leader in the standings in the discipline Sofia Goggia, who today remained only 19th with a delay of 0.92. Third in the standings, on 81 points behind the leader, is the third Italian Elena Curtoni, who today ranked seventh with a lag of 0.71 seconds.
Mikaela Shiffrin remains at the top of the overall standings for the World Cup, although she missed the start this weekend. The American has 966 points, which is 37 more than the second Petra Vlhova. The Slovak participated in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and today won 13 points with her 18th position.
The program of the Women’s World Cup continues next weekend in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, where there will be starts again in the disciplines of downhill and Super-G.
