Controversy put aside, Fede is very happy for the bronze: "I had to take advantage of the opportunity"

Brignone is the first Italian combinatorialist on a podium at the Olympic Games. His post-race analysis is another dream: a great team event on Saturday with Bassino, Vinatzer and De Aliprandini.

Never in 86 years of history had this happened, but the possibilities were all there and Federica Brignone's bronze in the Beijing 2022 Olympic combined is the right award for a multipurpose athlete who, in recent years, has always honored this discipline in the World Cup. World. You had to be there, with the three big favorites Shiffrin, Gisin and Holdener to take advantage of the opportunity, and the Aosta Valley did it perfectly after seeing the American out. For the third Olympic medal on a personal level, received by Flavio Roda who carried out the award ceremony. All this after the controversy of recent days, with Federica herself who had vented herself after the disappointments of the super-g and the descent tests. Set aside, as indeed the Aosta Valley has always done in recent years without particular problems. "I don't think it's enough for the gold ...", Fede whispered in the parterre shortly after her test, waiting for Holdener and Gisin who will do much better than her in the slalom heat. It was enough, however, for a bronze that makes her really happy. "I admit that downhill, for what I did during the winter, I should have ski better". (updating)
