Brignone and a slalom that still gives confidence: "Second heat ok, now I'll have to adapt to speed"

The Aosta Valley, who came out when she was in the running for a result in the fifteen, gave other good sensations thinking about super-g and combined. Gulli and Della Mea far away with 29th and 30th place (which are not needed for WCSL).

An Olympic slalom with little blue, but it is certainly not a surprise. Federica Brignone certainly gave the best impression of the three Italians in the race, even though she was the only one not to finish. Twentieth after the first heat, the silver in the giant was much more brilliant in the second, before failing at the attack of the final wall when, times in hand, a top 15 (with relative points for the WCSL) seemed possible. "I'm sorry because in the second I skied better finding the feeling to push more - explained the Aosta Valley in the interview at Rai Sport - The last double was not easy, I crossed the tips and I couldn't get away with it". Now the super-g, “his” race par excellence considering the state of form, with a couple of days to prepare for Friday's appointment. “I was undecided whether to compete today precisely because it will be an unknown factor for everyone, since we don't have the downhill tests before. I will try to adapt to speed immediately, I am confident in the fact that I have put together a good training in the discipline in January ". Two placings, very far from the upper districts (around 5 seconds behind both), were brought by the two specialists Anita Gulli and Lara Della Mea, respectively 29th and 30th. Really too little, albeit from a very young age and at the first Olympic experience, but this is currently the Italian women's slalom (net of injuries, Peterlini in the first place).
