SG Rosa Khutor, Federica Brignone: "Now I wear the red bib in three specialties"

The statements of Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia at the end of Rosa Khutor's supergiant.

The impressions of Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia, respectively first and second in Rosa Khutor's super-G. Federica Brignone: "After the outcome of the supergiant last week in Bansko in which I fell when he was really one step away from victory, I really wanted to recover what I had lost. Sochi does not adapt too much to my characteristics, it is a soft track the speed was relatively low without any particular slopes, but I still tried to push. I made a very big mistake in the middle of the route, looking at the times I realized I had left the road for more than half a second, however the goal was to face every corner at 100% and that was what made the difference In the final part we slipped a lot, in the snow it was devastated. I am happy that we managed to run after all the cancellations of these days, the organizers have been they work hard to get us going, on Saturday they completely rewinded the track doing an exceptional job, I'm happy to have come to Russia because they are s long undecided nanny, I only decided at the last minute. I enjoy this happy moment, I wear the red bib in three specialties, I have already made my personal career points record, it means that the choices made with the staff and the work done this year are allowing me to be competitive in all The conditions. I certainly don't stop here, in the rest of the season there are still many goals to achieve, I am proud to still be close to Shiffrin even if I don't think about the general classification, she has too many slaloms in which she can certainly make a difference towards me, so I continue to watch race by race, heats after heats. The important thing is that you continue to have fun as I have done so far. " Sofia Goggia: "" I was a little surprised at the finish line when I saw my stopwatch, I honestly thought I didn't finish second. They have been confused days, where the indecision was maximum between fixed and never disputed tests, as well as the descent. For me it was difficult from a psychological point of view, I hadn't been running for a week and from a certain point of view I was running in the dark because I had never experienced protection to the sore tibia, positioned between the sock and the shoe. But the goal was to not feel pain at the moment of the pressure on the ski and I think I got it, let's say today I did a "come back" at the Goggia, I bring out the best in me when I am cornered. It was a strange race, the tracker put such accentuated corners where he had to turn his head to understand the direction to face, the track was pulled up somehow, under the snow it was rotten and I'm happy for this podium. I congratulate Federica for her beautiful victory, today she was a giant and in these conditions we Italians are very strong. When you conquer a podium in a race where you don't even know if you will be at the start, it is always a positive aspect, especially in a difficult period for me and all this gives me a lot of confidence. In fact, this year I am going strong in training, I missed the consistency in the race. Now let's go to Garmisch, where last year he came in second twice after returning from the malleolus injury. I really think we'll have fun. " Source: fisi.org
