(ANSA) – CORTINA, FEB 15 – Italy’s Federica Brignone
disappointed in the combined at the Cortina worlds Monday after
skiing out at the third gate in the slalom having posted the
best super-G time.
Italy’s gold medal hopes were pinned on Brignone after Olympic
downhill champ and season dominator Sofia Goggia was KO’d by a
knee injury ahead of the event on home snow.
Brignone led the super-G standings ahead of compatriot Elena
Curtoni and American superstar Mikaela Shiffrin.
But she slid too far into a lefthand turn and crashed into the
third slalom gate. (ANSA).
