Federica Brignone queen of St.Anton. The Aosta Valley woman won the downhill valid for the Alpine Skiing World Cup, finishing in 1’16″08. Excellent performance for the Aosta Valley champion who preceded the Czech Ester Ledecka (+0.18) and her compatriot at the finish line. Laura Pirovanothird with a time of 1’16″51 (+0.43). A bad day, however, for Sofia Goggia, who slipped on a bend.

Fall without consequences for the Bergamo girl, if not for ranking issues. Just off the podium was the Austrian Stephanie Venier (+0.51), with the extraordinary Lindsey Vonn fifth. The American, who returned to the track after more than 5 years of break, finished in fifth place in 1’16″66 (+0.58). With the race still underway, Elena Curtoni is currently eighteenth (1’17″23), respectively 26th and 27th Nicol and Nadia Delago, 28th Sara Thaler.
