Federica Brignone said she was proud
of what she did in winning the World Cu Super-G in Cortina
d'Ampezzo Sunday a day after coming third in the downhill at the
iconic Italian course and extending her Italian women's win
record to 31, now only behind the great Alberto Tomba, on 50, on
both sexes' lists.
"Today I got exactly what I had in mind. I attacked, I felt
fast, I always kept my foot pressed on the accelerator: I had
excellent sensations and when at the finish line I saw the
advantage over Suter I told myself that it could be the right
day. It was a tactical super-G: there was room to let go of the
skis, but also to face it intelligently to best manage the high
speed. It's one of those days when you say... how beautiful!",
said the 34-year-old from Milan, who leads the overall World Cup
standings on 639 points, ahead of SWiss Camille Rast on 533.
"I feel proud of what I did this weekend - she added - when you
chase a result for a long time, getting it gives great
satisfaction. I absolutely wanted to get on the podium in
Cortina and these two days are really beautiful for my career.
"Versatility has always been a goal of mine, since I was a
child, and to have won in three different disciplines in the
same winter is really worth a lot to me.
"The season is going very well, but to continue I have to be
able to continue skiing like this, I know it won't be easy to do
it all the time. Precisely for this reason I don't want to think
about the ranking, for now; I prefer to think about each
individual race".
