Skiing: Brignone says won challenge with herself

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 28 - Federica Brignone said she had "won the challenge with myself" after extending her own record as the oldest woman to win a World Cup race when she won the giant slalom in Semmering in Austria, the 34-year-old's second win of the season and her Italian-record-extending 29th victory.
    "Semmering was a goal of mine. I had never been on the podium here and I wanted to succeed", said the Milanese skier.
    ''But the challenge, the challenge towards myself - added Brignone - is my strength and my energy. And by challenging myself to give more I see that I improve and this gives me more motivation. And I do it while having fun because I like skiing''. (ANSA).
