The blue reactions to the giant number 2 of Kranjska Gora who always sees an Italian on the podium, even if after Marta's series, this time it's Fede who breaks free. Platinum grand 16th: "Really happy with these two days".

He admitted that it was a goal, and how, after having circled around it for so many races, in particular the last four giants always finished in the top five.
He deserved the first podium of the season, the 50th in the World Cup (at -1 from the Italian record holder in this ranking, Isolde Kostner), a Federica Brignone from second place in the second appointment on Podkoren in Kranjska Gora, after the mockery of 24 hours first. “I am very satisfied, the 50th podium was the first objective of the season - the words of the champion from La Salle through the FISI press office - What is positive is how I am skiing, the attitude I have, what I put in track.
I was hoping to get off to a better start, then I found excellent results that increased my confidence, such as three fourth places and a fifth in giant slalom and finally I got on this podium. I always had something wrong, I was always close while today I did almost everything right. In terms of speed, apart from St. Moritz, I've never been able to do the right things, maybe I was fast in a few sessions but never in an entire race.
I hope it bodes well for regaining confidence and going faster. Shiffrin was the greatest ever, at least for me, even before this win and today she proved it with two great heats. In Slovenia I had never managed to do good races, I'm happy I did it".
Marta Bassino fell off the podium after seven consecutive giants up front, but today's fifth is still worth the confirmation of the red bib, even if Shiffrin herself is now only 25 points from the Cuneo area, with three giants still on the calendar (next on the “Erta” so dear to Martha). “Overall, however, I'm happy because I can't complain about the fact that this fifth place is my worst result of the season in giant slalom - her analysis - Clearly we're all close, except Shiffrin who did two spectacular heats today.
It will be a long January, I will try to dose my energies well, skipping something to express myself to the fullest".
