Federica Brignone Dominates Giant Slalom in Sestriere, Extends Overall Lead
Federica Brignone showcased her exceptional talent once again on Saturday, clinching her second consecutive World Cup giant slalom victory in Sestriere, Italy. This triumph not only highlights her skills but also strengthens her position at the top of the overall standings. Brignone's impressive performance saw her finishing ahead of strong competitors Lara Gut-Behrami and Alice Robinson, who took second and third place, respectively.
Italy’s Sofia Goggia followed closely behind in fourth place, marking a competitive outing for the Italian team. Brignone's victorious streak began on Friday at the same venue, where she also claimed the giant slalom title.
This latest achievement comes on the heels of Brignone’s recent success at the World Championships held in Saalbach, Austria, where she further established herself as a leading figure in the sport.
At 34, Brignone has already made history, becoming the first Italian female skier to win the World Cup overall title in 2020, a milestone that remains a significant point in her illustrious career. With her current form and determination, she appears poised to continue her winning ways in the upcoming races.
