Brignone talks about his giant with five circles, one step away from the incredible Hector of this season. "Proud of how I handled the whole situation, now without pressure for the other races."

Two podiums after 4 years, of inestimable value for one of the greatest champions in the history of blue skiing.
28 cents were missing for the first Olympic title of her career, but there can only be applause for Federica Brignone in a giant of the Games that saw the Aosta Valley unblocked, in what has always been her favorite sport, given that during the season she was still on the podium.
Italy's 33rd medal in five-circle alpine skiing is worth a lot, a lot, also for the quality of a podium that sees only the World Cup ruler, Sara Hector, in front of Fede who in turn put Lara Gut behind -Behrami, who just like the blue won the second Olympic medal of his career.
Wednesday we will see her again in slalom, together with Bassino, very disappointed after the exit at the start of the 1st heat, but today we just have to enjoy this silver that really shines. Even if, when Hector had only 19 cents of margin at the last intermediate, everyone did a little thought, including Faith as his gaze showed. “On the podium I was very excited - confessed Brignone to Rai Sport's microphones - It was an incredible and very tough day, with over 6 hours between one heat and the next.
Every now and then I did some thought about the medal, what I'm proud of is being able to ski without looking at the rest.
