He won after losing his left stick a hundred meters from the finish line. For the Valdostana Brignone is the 30th podium.
This is the second double win of the season after the one in the giant of Killington won by Marta Bassino in front of Brignone last November 30th.

It bears the name of Sofia Goggia the n.86 victory of the blue women in the world cup. And always the Bergamo team signs with Federica Brignone the eleventh double in history. Always in St. Moritz and always and in super-G, 18 years ago it was Karen Putzer and Daniela Ceccarelli. "It is another beautiful double and I am very happy with my performance. The climate in our team is very positive - said Goggia after his new victory - and when many important results arrive, like the podiums of Francesca Marsaglia and Nicol Delago of the last week, the whole team pushes towards victory and lives peacefully. I lost a stick after a jump and it was not easy to keep the balance. I had to fight. Tomorrow I will make the debut in this new discipline which is the parallel slalom: we have trained well and we will have fun ". Federica Brignone was no less satisfied: "The super-G has always been my favorite discipline since I was little and I'm still growing. Today I skied well, I'm very happy with my performance". " I caught a bit of wind, but I still managed to make the tactical passes in the right way.I was only sorry for the jump to the final part of the track, which forced me to correct the line: I could have gained something again. It burns me for today's hundredth but I congratulate Sofia: she risked something and she was right. I'm very curious about the parallel slalom of tomorrow: it's a new discipline and I'm gassed ".
