Brignone gives hope to an entire nation

Federica Brignone in 1st place, Elena Curtoni in 2nd place, one hundredth behind. The two Azzurre are on course for a medal after half of the women's combination. While Curtoni will struggle in the slalom, Brignone is considered a hot contender for a podium place. By the way: Brignone has won five of the last seven combinations - including the last four in a row.

Despite a not flawless ride, Brignone completed the combination Super-G fastest. However, the 30-year-old is only just ahead of Curtoni (+0,01 seconds) and Mikaela Shiffrin (+0,06). The American in particular is extremely strong in the slalom and should be a strong competitor for Brignone. Curtoni, on the other hand, will have to stretch a lot if a medal is to be within reach. The 29-year-old achieved her best combination result to date last year in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee (5th). Mikaela Shiffrin is just behind the two Azzurre in third place. © APA/afp / FABRICE COFFRINI

Michelle Gisin (+0,26) and Petra Vlhova (+0,60) are lying in wait. The Swiss missed an even better starting position with a faulty Super-G, but is still one of the big favorites for World Cup gold. Wendy Holdener lost a little more time, losing almost a second to Brignone. Delago out – Brignone opens slalom The World Cup combination for Nadia Delago was quickly over. The Val Gardena team was eliminated after just a few goals in front of FISI boss Flavio Roda and CONI boss Giovanni Malagò. Marta Bassino also fell short of expectations. The 84-year-old is 24 hundredths short of a medal – that might be too much.

The women's combined slalom starts at 14.10:XNUMX p.m. (live on SportNews -Ticker). Incidentally, the races are not raced in order of fall, but rather according to the result of the Super-G race. This means that Brignone will open the decision.
