Federica Brignone: "It was a tough super-G, when I won three years ago it was a little longer and there were a few more corners. But I concentrated, I tried to be tall in the piano and let go of the skis. You have to drop them, so much so that Shiffrin skied from God, but she was a bit wary and couldn't get up to speed. On arrival I shook my head because I was sorry to have closed at 19 cents from Tamara Tippler: I had seen her skiing and I think you could have done better, but this was a track where you had to go down, a very fast track, even for men, with bumps and blind doors, in fact it took me so long to do reconnaissance "You couldn't have any line bias, so I tried to go all out and the difference I made in the three or four doors after the wall. But then I got crushed in a curve, otherwise I would have done even better, but at that moment I thought that time would not be enough to get on the podium, but then I have you I'm sure all the girls have struggled a bit. I am very satisfied, it is the best super G of the season, I have often done some good parts but I could not put them all together: today I studied the track a lot, I wanted to be sure of all the places where I could pass and go faster. I'm really happy. Shiffrin? It went well that they canceled the two super-Gs to which she would not have participated, but apart from that she won all the others she did, so she deserved the cup, she was great, she also won the World Cup. It was a difficult season because this summer I had an injury, I was stopped for two months during the most important ski preparation load. I didn't test the material and in October I put things back last year. I started very well, I expected a lot, but I had so many races where I arrived, fourth, fifth or sixth, very close to the podium, but never on the podium, both in super-G and in giant, but also in downhill. It was like I was always there and a little sorry, I know I have a good margin for next year. I want to continue training until the end of April, then I hope to have a healthy summer so I can go to the attack and put hay on the farm, getting ready for the next season. The versatility? Some say that the descent does not lead me to anything, but I always have excellent intermediates. I'm not ready to give up, also because I don't get tired at the end of the season " Nadia Fanchini: "There is a bit of regret, I tried and I did my best, I seem to have skied pretty well, but this was a super-G to push, I had to do fast lines and I felt too much precise, not always good skiing pays, you have to have hair. Interpretation is fundamental, I was wrong but you never stop learning even if I did so many competitions ".
