Federica Brignone - crowning an extraordinary world cup season - is Italian giant slalom champion for the fourth time in her career. The Aosta Valley girl from the Carabinieri Sports Center dominated the scene in both heats of the giant slalom on the Lazaun slope in Val Senales, Bolzano. The overall total of Italian titles for the La Salle champion thus rises to ten.
After the best time in the first descent, Brignone extended his lead further in the second, to stop the clock at 2'00"96 and guarantee himself a margin of 2"40 over the youngest Giorgia Collomb, seventeen years old and also from the Aosta Valley of the Carabinieri, who took thus the second overall Italian medal of his career after the bronze in combined last winter.
The Italian podium is completed by the Friulian Lara Della Mea (Army, +3"07). Instead, Elisa Platino from Merano (Carabinieri, +3"43) finished fifth.
