Italy's Federica Brignone on Saturday
night won her second world cup overall title after the downhill
at Sun Valley was cancelled due to heavy snow meaning the last
races of the season would not take place and she had
mathematically beaten Swiss rival Lara Gut-Behrami.
the 34-year-old Val d'Aosta born skier, who won the first
overall title by an Italian woman skier in 2020, also took this
year's downhill title.
"I was focused on myself all season.
Today was a very strange day, but I was calm and I would have tried to do my best anyway, also to take the downhill cup, which is truly special," Brignone told Sky Sport.
"I'm proud of the work I've done over the years
and obviously this season to improve my weak points in
downhill," the Italian continued, "especially on the sliding
part. It's truly extraordinary."
