Federica Brignone on Friday won the
women's Super-G in La Thuile, Austria, moving significantly
closer to this season's overall World Cup title.
Sofia Goggia finished the race in second place, ahead of
France's Romane Miradoli.
Now Brignone has 1454 points, 382 more that Switzerland's Lara
Gut Behrami, who finished the race in fourth position on Friday,
before the final four races of the season in Beaver Creek,
United States.
Brignone needs just 18 points to be mathematically certain of
her second overall title.
"I'm having a fantastic day. I really wanted to come down to my
house under the green light. The track was nicer, I was very
focused and I was lucky enough to start with the number 6", said
the 34-year-old from Milan, who won the first ever overall World
Cup title by an Italian woman in 2020.
Her brother and coach Davide said:
"I don't think that now, unless there's something strange, Gut
will participate in the final slalom.
So Fede has more than 300 points of advantage, we haven't talked
about it until now because we have to stay on top of things, we
will have to stay on top of things also in Sun Valley because
she will play three world cups in three disciplines, but the
general cup is over as of today".
