An internal challenge with many meanings, for what could have been the 50th podium in the World Cup for Federica Brignone and becomes the 25th for Marta Bassino, third again on the Semmering "Panorama" like 24 hours before, for a result that means keep the red bib with a discreet advantage as mistress of the discipline that already saw her triumph, in the final ranking, at the end of the 2020/21 season.
Marta signs 4 out of 4 in the season and finds herself with a nice +40 against Mikaela Shiffrin, in her personal double in Lower Austria, before the two giants who could really make the difference, those of Kranjska Gora where two years ago “Bax ” knocked out the competition. "I'm very happy, it's always nice to get on the podium and today it wasn't easy at all - Marta's first words to the microphones of Rai Sport - What matters is always having the right attitude, then there are mistakes".
Three cents were missing from Brignone to cross a finish line that has been awaiting since the beginning of the season, but now the Aosta Valley rider, 5th and 4th on a track where she had never done so well, really seems to be there. “I'm taking away the two personal bests here in Semmering, I'm happy with how I'm skiing – his analysis on Simone Benzoni's microphone – Today were two solid heats, albeit not perfect: I'm always there now and I'm playing it, even if I think I threw the podium on the last long one. My compliments to Marta and also to Lara, given that perhaps we all gave it up after Shiffrin's performance and instead she did a great thing finishing so close".
Brignone who will not do the slalom on Thursday, preferring to concentrate on the many races in January ("I care a lot about Cortina and Kronplatz in particular"), while the good 24th place of Asja Zenere also arrived in Italy, even if the Vicenza team suffered in the 2nd round. “I was a little too precise, but they are important points and they give morale. I learn new things every race”, his comment after the encore in the thirty post Sestriere (yesterday he finished 31st).
