She who is so fond of chocolate, discovered that she had won the absolute World Cup by having a snack ... with a Nutella sandwich. That's right, Federica Brignone lets Are know that she got the news on the official cancellation of the races, during a moment of afternoon tranquility together with Marta Bassino. â€œThe coaches informed us of the organizing committee's decision, but for a moment I thought it was a joke - confesses the La Salle champion - then I realized that it was all true. My victory comes at a very delicate moment for many sporting and non-sporting reasons, the cup was not given to me and I don't even know when the ceremony will take place. However I am particularly excited, the dream of a life has come true and I do not hide that I cried for happiness. I wanted to celebrate with all the staff, obviously I would have preferred to play it on the track and the confidence was at the highest levels because I am skiing well in all disciplines. Having won in this way is not what I wanted, but I was in the top positions almost every race and for the whole season, I think I deserved it. I have to thank everyone who helped me achieve this, from my family to the skiman (Mauro Sbardellotto, ed.), To the FISI and to the Carabinieri Sports Group, up to those who work behind the scenes. I am proud to have achieved this result in such a difficult time for Italy, I hope to have brought a smile to our country ".
