Eleventh seal in the World Cup and red bib for a sumptuous Federica Brignone. Here it is in the giant post of Courchevel: "I left with the fire inside".

The best victory, for the third blue that rises on the top step of the podium after Marta Bassino and Sofia Goggia, in only ten races of a World Cup increasingly in pink colors Italy.
With the triumph in the Courchevel giant, Federica Brignone has risen to 11 successes in the World Cup (6 in giant), with 31 podiums overall, but above all has launched a very strong signal to grasp what is her true seasonal goal, the crystal ball of "his" discipline, which now commands with as many as 66 margin points on the same Mina Fuerst Holtmann beaten today on the wool thread (followed at one point by Bassino and 5 by Shiffrin).
Faith has also consolidated 2nd place overall, but without making too many calculations one thinks only of celebrating this triumph on the snows of Savoy, with the same Sofia Goggia singing the Hymn of Mameli under the podium, to toast to the companion who had preceded by a penny in the magical super-g last Saturday in Sankt Moritz.
And then along with the boys of his fan club and all the staff of the national team: "I started attacking on all the doors, because it was the only way to make a difference - said the 29 year old from La Salle - We were all very close and I had to leave and arrive with fire inside. In the second race the track was more damaged, but my skiing is quite round and I can push even in the holes. I really like this track, and finally I finally got this victory. The cents had told me badly Saturday, this time it went well ".
