So much displeasure from every point of view, even if on balance the cancellation of the World Cup finals, which will not be staged in Cortina (and in no other location) from 16 to 22 March, brings Federica Brignone closer to the conquest of what would be the first absolute crystal ball in the history of women's alpine skiing in Italy.
The Aosta Valley champion, leader with 153 points on Shiffrin and 189 on Vlhova, does not want to hear about it and expresses great regret for the "no" to the finals in Italy. Directly from Sweden, where he is preparing for the three decisive races in Are, Fede analyzes what happened: “I am particularly sorry, because we would have liked to run in front of our fans and conclude in the best way a great season that saw the whole team express themselves at maximum levels.
These are four fewer races that will inevitably affect the outcome of the cup, and the regret increases if I think that in this period I was skiing well and every race was good to make a result. Also sorry because in this way I will close the super-g ranking behind Corinne Suter in second place, because of the penny that cost me the victory in La Thuile (Brignone, at -19 from the Swiss, would have won the crystal ball in the discipline for a point, editor's note).
The general? Anything can happen, but what hurts me is thinking about the failure to celebrate the awards, which represent a particular moment to share with the entire team, as well as listening to the national anthem and celebrating with the teammates and coaches " .
The Italian leader will be connected on Sunday evening, around 10 pm, with the broadcast of Fabio Fazio, "Che tempo che fa", on live TV on Rai 2.
