Italy's Federica Brignone on Tuesday
added the world cup giant slalom title to her overall and
downhill crystal globes.
The 34-year-old from Val d'Aosta came second to Swizz Lara
Gut-Behrami in the last race of the season at Sun Valley to
claim the points she needed to overtake New Zealand's Alice
Robinson, who had gone into the event with a 20 point advantage
over the Italian but skied out on the first run.
It is Brignone's second giant slalom title, after 2020.
Her overall title is also her second, after she became the first
Italian woman to win one in 2020.
Brignone is the most successful Italian woman skier and her 37
world cup wins put her behind only the great Alberto Tomba, on
50, for both sexes.
