Faith and Italy already in history for the first super-g cup (which will win an blue): "What confidence for the Olympics"

Eight blue in the points, also partially exploiting the many absences of this Bavarian stage, for a super-g that already enters the history of Italian skiing. For many reasons, beyond the sixth seasonal success in the discipline (out of seven races disputed) brought by Federica Brignone. The most important data, matured with the "transformation" from 2nd to 3rd place of Tamara Tippler, pushed down by a fabulous Cornelia Huetter, who went on to win the ex aequo race with the Aosta Valley, is in fact the first World Cup female super-g that ends up, for the first time in history, on the notice board of Italy. The result is already arithmetic with two races to spare, given that Brignone is leading, Elena Curtoni 103 points away and Sofia Goggia 145, while Tamara Tippler is fourth at -218. For Fede, seventh super-g on the bulletin board (he has won the last four cup matches in this discipline) and 19 in the World Cup, again at +2 on Goggia. All winning for the second time in his career with an ex aequo, as in the magical 2019/2020 vintage when in the giant of Sestriere it was a triumph on a par with Vlhova (with Shiffrin third to a cent!). Finally, still thinking about numbers, women's Italy rises to 10 hurrà in the season (6 Goggia, 3 Brignone, 1 Curtoni), as only in 1996/1997. "If one of the two had lost by a penny we would certainly have been very disappointed, much nicer like this - the champion from La Salle told FIS microphones referring to the first place in cohabitation with Huetter - It is nice to share this victory with Conny, an athlete who has had so much bad luck in terms of injuries. I'm really happy for her too ”.
