Brignone always protagonist ... also in parallel: "We will work to grow, now Courchevel"

The Valdostana, sixth in the second race of Sankt Moritz after the place of honor in super-g, is second in the overall and looks at the key giant on Tuesday.

It is certainly the most complete athlete of the pink Italsci that is doing so well this season. After the 2nd place on Saturday in super-g, with only one cent from his first win of the season, Federica Brignone did very well also in the parallel slalom of Sankt Moritz, with a sixth final place worth 40 very important points. With this result, in fact, the 29-year-old from La Salle jumped into second place in the overall World Cup standings, 251 points behind Mikaela Shiffrin and with 20 margin points on Viktoria Rebensburg. All this two days from a key race like the giant scheduled for Courchevel on Tuesday: "I think I got away pretty well at the start," said the Aosta Valley to fisi.org - but maybe I demanded too much, I wanted to have the my opponent always at my side and I fell several times in the same mistake. In fact I tried to break down the poles in the final part of the track, instead I should have passed around the old way. There is still work to be done on this discipline, but it's fun and tough, with lots of runs in no time. I am satisfied with my weekend, I hope to continue in the same way starting from ... Courchevel ”.
