World Cup – Brignone super, is second in giant!  Vince Worley.  third Hector and fourth Shiffrin
The paw, once again, of Federica Brignone. On the snows of Lenzerheide and under the gaze of Roger Federer, the Aosta Valley is second in the third to last giant of the season, conquering his first podium in this discipline in the 2021/22 World Cup. In comeback, like the peer Dorothea Wierer in the biathlon pursuit just an hour earlier, on another day to remember for the 90’s class of winter sports. In the second heat, the blue manages to put on the snow what she had partly missed in the morning. Aggressiveness, rhythm and her famous unreal folds. Her ingredients, used in the right proportions, which allow her to close the gap with the trio that seemed unattainable after the first descent and from which she paid about a second.

Worley the only one to stand in front of Brignone, returns to success

The only one who resists his comeback is Tessa Worley, sublime interpreter of this discipline and capable of managing his advantage over Federica up to maintaining a margin of three tenths. Another class test for her, at the 16th giant success in the World Cup. The same as Annemarie Moser-Pröll, higher up there are only 20 by Vreni Schneider. To complete the podium she is the seasonal protagonist of wide doors, Sarah Hector. The Swede loses two positions compared to the first descent, but she can be satisfied with her seventh consecutive podium in the giant between the Cup and the Olympics. With two races to go, however, her advantage over Worley in the specialty standings is reduced to 55 points.

Terrible fall of Hrovat, Brignone covers his face

Mikaela Shiffrin she falls off the provisional podium in the middle of the race, but she too can smile. She finishes fourth and is 50 gold points earned in the overall up Petra Vlhova, which came out sensationally in the first heat. Instead, they go back up Michelle Gisin (fifth, two positions recovered), Catherine Liensberger (may be), Ragnhild Mowinckel (quattro), Wendy Holdener (a), Coralie Frasse Sombet (seven) and Paula Moltzán (eleven) to close the top ten. Scare for Meta Hrovat, fourth in the morning and crashed while skiing on the rhythms of Brignone. Italy places two other athletes in the points: Roberta Melesi is 19th, Elena Curtoni 20th.
