(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 23 - Italy's Federica Brignone missed out on this year's World Cup SuperG title coming third to winner Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland in the last race of the season at Sun Valley Sunday.
    The Val d'Aosta born athlete, 34, had clinched the overall title as well as the downhill trophy when the last downhill of the season was cancelled due to heavy snow Saturday.
    But Swiss Gut-Behrami won the last SuperG by 1.2 seconds from 40-year-old American legend Lindsey Vonn, with the Italian coming third and losing the title.
    Brignone, Italy's most successful woman skier ever, had been five points ahead of the Swiss going into the race but Gut-Behrami blew everyone away with a storming run. (ANSA).
