Federica Brignone Poised to Clinch World Cup Title After Super-G Success

The Italian skier extends her overall lead and narrows the super-G gap to Lara Gut-Behrami in challenging races at La Thuile.

Federica Brignone won Friday's super-G in La Thuile by 0.01 seconds, extending her overall World Cup lead to 382 points with four races left.
The Italian skier now leads the super-G standings by five points and remains in contention for the giant slalom title, trailing Alice Robinson by 20 points.
Germany's Emma Aicher claimed her first super-G victory on Thursday, with Brignone finishing third after a near-crash and Sofia Goggia taking second.
Thursday's race was held on a shortened course due to heavy snowfall, with several crashes and a half-hour delay caused by a medical emergency involving a course worker.
Brignone is on track to secure her second career overall World Cup title, with the season finals set to start next weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho.
