There is all the satisfaction of Federica Brignone, who loves the combined and has always interpreted it to the maximum, even before the formula changed from this season, but also the joy of Marta Bassino and Elena Curtoni in the blue day of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee.
With the masterpiece in the test on the Salzburg snows, the 29 year old from La Salle has signed the fourth Italian victory for the women's sector this season, her second solo and again, after the one-two of Killington who saw Marta Bassino win in front of his teammate, with the Cuneo side by side on the podium.
For Fede, the pearl No. 12 in her career means -3 from Isolde Kostner and only four wins less than the blue winner of history, Deborah Compagnoni: "It's always nice to win in this discipline, I started 2020 with the foot right - the Aosta Valley says in the post race - The work done after Christmas is paying off; I am skiing well and I managed the pressure despite the competition. Three favorites came out, but the super-g was very difficult and in slalom I tried to attack, but after my test I didn't think I could do it.
The second place overall? I don't care, too many races are still missing. I think of one at a time and skiing the game so I am already gassed thinking of Sestriere ".
Next Saturday and Sunday on the “Kandahar G.A. Agnelli â€(where a giant and a parallel giant will be staged) will be the home stage especially for Marta Bassino, today at the third podium of the season and at the eighth in her career. “I am very happy especially with my super-g - analyzes the Piedmontese - It was important to start from the front in slalom and I like this formula. Now the focus will be all on Sestriere, with the aim of continuing with the same trend of this season. And I invite the fans to be there: they will have fun ... ".
It was also Elena Curtoni's Sunday, seventh time in super-g and fifth at the end, with a solid slalom that allowed Valtellina to return to a top 5 of the World Cup after many physical problems and almost three years since that super-g of Crans Montana of February 2017, in which he climbed on the second step of the podium.

Cancellati dalla FISI, il silenzio del mondo dello sci ci ha ucciso due volte: Olga e Marcello Franzoso non si nascondono
Il collega Matteo Macor de La Repubblica ha intervistato i genitori di Matteo Franzoso, scomparso esattamente un anno fa dopo 48 ore di agonia in seguito all'incidente di La Parva. Durissime le loro parole nei confronti della Federazione e in generale dell'ambiente, solo la Guardia di Finanza ci è stata vicina. Oggi il corpo militare del quale faceva parte il velocista ligure gli ha intitolato una sala del museo a Predazzo.
