Ski, Brignone disappointment: 'Now a break'

Two fourth places, with a bitter taste especially for Federica Brignone. Italy greets the last day of the ski world cup season at the foot of the podium: with the blue, fourth in the giant, there is also Alex Vinatzer wooden medal in the special slalom. The giant was won with a second heat show by New Zealander Alice Robinson, 19 years old and third success in the cup. What a mockery is the American Mikaela Shiffrin, second and at her 105 / o career podium. Third was the Slovenian Meta Hrovat. Then Federica Brignone (Marta Bassino seventh and Elena Curtoni 13 / a). Happy because the season ends, much less for the results Brignone who appeared very disappointed and with the only goal now to unplug. "I'm happy to have closed the season, I'm really tired. It was positive how I fought in the second heat. I hope to find the best motivation to get back to training at my best. Now I need to take some time off. My dream was winning the World Cup has always been the most coveted goal for me. I love skiing and I will do it to have fun even at the end of the season ". "It was a really intense year and I have to recover physical and mental energy before resuming training - added the Italian champion -. I'll take a few weeks to rest, then I'll go back to our business and we'll set our goals".
