She is a half happy Brignone: "I'm happy, but today I could have won. That mistake ..."

The second in the super-g of La Thuile, just one hundredth from Ortlieb, deprives the Aosta Valley of the triumph at home and the connection to Deborah Compagnoni. "It's a great day anyway."

A penny cost the engagement to Deborah Compagnoni, at 16 wins and therefore at the top of the Italian winners in the history of the World Cup, but above all a penny, the one that divided her from Nina Ortlieb, who deprived of a historical triumph in front of the home crowd. The super-g of La Thuile, however, remains a very positive race for Federica Brignone, who took 80 fundamental points to get closer to the general World Cup, now only eight races away and with Mikaela Shiffrin at 153 points, with Petra Vlhova at -189. In the super-g cup view, however, Corinne Suter remained ahead of 19 points when only the Cortina race was missing: “I was really tense, my legs were trembling at the start much more than in Sestriere - the Aosta Valley confessed to '' arrival - I convinced myself to attack the track, but I made a mistake before the plan: the outside opened and I lost the race there. I really wanted to win here, it's the second super-g (after St. Moritz in favor of Goggia) that I lose for a penny and I'm sorry for both the public and the points in the standings. However, it remains a great day ”. Marta Bassino is definitely satisfied with her 5th place: “Today was strange, with a totally different condition compared to last week's training. There are a few mistakes on such a difficult track, the placement makes me happy ". And then there is another blue, Elena Curtoni, in the top 10: the Valtellinese has some regrets for her seventh position. “Maybe a lower starting number would have been important, the snow that fell yesterday made the track stickier and it's a shame, because it's such a beautiful slope. There was little speed, I did everything possible ".
