ANSA - Skiing: Brignone wins Cortina Super-G, WC victory no. 31

Only Tomba, on 50, stands ahead of Milanese great

Italy's Federica Brignone won the Super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo to extend her record as the winningest Italian female skier to 31 World Cup victories, with only men's legend Alberto Tomba ahead of the 34-year-old Milanese on 50.
    Brignone's win came after Sofia Goggia's success in the Cortina downhill Saturday.
    Behind Brgnone, her great Swiss rival Lara Gut-Behrami came second and the other Swiss Corinne Suter third.
    For Brignone, it is the fourth victory of the season and consolidates, after her third place in the Cortina downhill, her lead in the general classification with 639 points.
    For Italy Sunday there was also Elena Curtoni's 4th place in the Super-G.
    Sofia Goggia, the 32-year-old from Bergamo who won Italian women's first Olympic gold in 2018, on the other hand, was not perfect and finished 7th.
